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

Tim says that every time you mutiply two
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

I disagree

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not true because when you multiply a number by one. It will give you its number. It may be a larger number than 1 but it is not bigger than both numbers. Also if you multiply 0 by a number. It will eventually give you the answer 0 .It will be smaller than the number you started with. eg   100x0 = 0
