The confidence interval is given by the formula:
m +/- z·(σ/√n)

First, compute the mean:
m = (<span>15.8 + 15.6 + 15.1 + 15.2 + 15.1 + 15.5 + 15.9 + 15.5) / 8
    = 15.463

Then, compute the standard deviation:
</span>σ = √[∑(v - m)²/n]
   = 0.287

The z-score for a 95% confidence interval is z = 1.96.

Now you can calculate:
m + z·(σ/√n) = 15.463 + 1.96·(0.287/√8)
                        = 15.463 + 0.199
                        = 15.662

m - z·(σ/√n) = 15.463 - 1.96·(0.287/√8)
                        = 15.463 - 0.199
                        = 15.264

Therefore the confidence interval is (15.264, <span>15.662) and the correct answer is E) none of the above.</span>

The 95\% confidence interval for the population mean is \left( {15.250,15.675}\right).

Further explanation:

The formula for confidence interval can be expressed as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Confidence interval}} = \left( {\overline X\pm ME} \right)}

ME represents the Margin of Error.

The formula of margin of error is \boxed{{\text{ME}} = {Z_{\dfrac{\alpha }{2}}}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{{\sqrt n }}}.

Here, Z is the standard normal value, \sigma is the standard deviation and n represents the total observation.

Explanation:

The data values are 15.8, 15.6, 15.1, 15.2, 15.1, 15.5, 15.9 and 15.5.

The mean can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Mean}}\left({\overline X } \right)&= \frac{{15.8 + 15.6 + 15.1 + 15.2 + 15.1 + 15.5+ 15.9 + 15.5}}{8}\\&= \frac{{123.7}}{8}\\&= 15.46\\\end{aligned}

The formula of standard deviation can be expressed as,

\boxed{s = \sqrt{\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i}-\overline x }\right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}}}

The standard deviation is 0.307.

The margin of error can be obtained as follows.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Confidence interval}}&= 15.46 \pm 1.96 \times \frac{{0.307}}{{\sqrt8 }}\\&= 15.46 \pm 0.210\\ &= \left( {15.250,15.675} \right)\\\end{aligned}

The 95\% confidence interval for the population mean is \left( {15.250,15.675}\right).

I don’t quite understand what to do or how to solve it. Can someone explain please ?
Bess [88]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the vertical line test. Anywhere on that graph, you can draw a vertical line, and it will not touch the function two times. Because of this, it is true.
