The right answer is Option B: $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current value of car = $5500

This is 55% of the original value.

Let,

p be the original price of car.

Therefore,

55% of p = 5500

$\frac{55}{100}p=5500$

Dividing both sides by p

$\frac{55}{100}*\frac{p}{p}=\frac{5500}{p}\\\frac{55}{100}=\frac{5500}{p}$

The equation $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$ can be used to find the price Mrs. Merson paid for the car.

The right answer is Option B: $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}=1.669$

And replacing we got

$17.5-1.669\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=16.63$

$17.5+1.669\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=18.37$

For the 95% confidence the critical value is $t_{\alpha/2}=1.998$

$17.5-1.998\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=16.46$

$17.5+1.998\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=18.54$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X¿ 17.5$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s¿4.2 represent the sample standard deviation

n¿65 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=65-1=64$

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and the critical value would be $t_{\alpha/2}=1.669$

And replacing we got

$17.5-1.669\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=16.63$

$17.5+1.669\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=18.37$

For the 95% confidence the critical value is $t_{\alpha/2}=1.998$

$17.5-1.998\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=16.46$

$17.5+1.998\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{65}}=18.54$
