supervisor records the repair cost for 25 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $93.36 and standard deviation of $19.95 are

subsequently computed. Determine the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

<h2><u>Answer with explanation:</u></h2>

The confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown) is given by :-

\overline{x}-t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}< \mu

, where n= sample size

\overline{x} = Sample mean

s= sample size

t* = Critical value.

Given : n= 25

Degree of freedom : df=n-1=24

\overline{x}= \$93.36

s=\ $19.95

Significance level for 98% confidence interval : \alpha=1-0.98=0.02

Using t-distribution table ,

Two-tailed critical value for 98% confidence interval :

t^*=t_{\alpha/2,\ df}=t_{0.01,\ 24}=2.4922

⇒ The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval = 2.4922

Then, the 95% confidence interval would be :-

93.36-(2.4922)\dfrac{19.95}{\sqrt{25}}< \mu

=93.36-9.943878< \mu

=93.36-9.943878< \mu

=83.416122< \mu

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. = 83.4161

Draw 2 different shapes with the perimeter of 16 units
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
First, we must understand that to find the perimeter of an object you must add up the lengths of each side.

Some options are:

A square (4 sides) with sides of 4 units long.
4x4=16

A rectangle (4 sides) that is 6 units long and 2 units wide
6+2+6+2=16

An octagon (8 sides) with sides 2 units long
8x2=16

What is the next number in this sequence and why?
vekshin1

2,6,15,31,......

6-2=4=2X2

15-6=9=3X3

31-15=16=4X4

So the next number should be 31+5X5=56

hope this helps :)
