Using the simple random sample of weights of women from a data set, we obtain these sample statistics: nequals45 and x overbar

Tomtit [17]

Answer: (141.1, 156.48)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sample statistics : $n=45$

$\overline{x}=148.79\text{ lb}$

$\sigma=31.37\text{ lb}$

a) We know that the best point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean.

Therefore, the best point estimate of the mean weight of all women = $\mu=148.79\text{ lb}$

b) The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

$\mu\ \pm E$ , where E is the margin of error.

Formula for Margin of error :-

$z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05}=\pm1.645$

Margin of error : $E=1.645\times\dfrac{31.37}{\sqrt{45}}\approx 7.69$

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

$148.79\ \pm\ 7.69 =(148.79-7.69\ ,\ 148.79+7.69)=(141.1,\ 156.48)$

Hence, the 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of all women= (141.1, 156.48)

Explain how to determine which variable in the bivariate data set is the independent variable and which is the dependent variabl

seropon [69]

In some instances of bivariate data, it is determined that one variable influences or determines the second variable, and the terms dependent and independent variables are used to distinguish between the two types of variables. In the above example, the length of a person's legs is the independent variable.

An ant population starts at 1200 for a certain colony. As each month goes by in the winter, 6.5% of the population dies off. How

Nitella [24]

Answer:

There will be 916 ants alive after 4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let's change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by a 100.

6.5% / 100 = .065

Step 2

So, for the first month we will multiply the initial amount of ants by .065 and this will give us the number of ants that die.

1200 * .065 = 78

This means that after the first month, 1200 - 78 = 1122 ants will be alive.

Step 3

Now for the second month: 1122 * .065 = 72.93 (rounded to 73)

1122 - 73 = 1049 ants will be alive

Step 4

For the third month 1049 * .065 = 68.185 (rounded to 68)

1049 - 68 = 981 ants will be alive

Step 5

For the fourth month 981 * .065 = 63.765 (rounded to 64)

981 - 64 = 916 ants will be alive

Hope this helps!
