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

How do find a number out of a percent
Nana76 [90]
You only have the % and you need the number. For example i got a 87% on my Math test what is that as a decimal? The answer is 0.87 because you move the decimal ahead 2 numbers.

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 6mm and 10mm respectively, and they form an angle measuring 60. Find the area of the p
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

51.96 mm² approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

the first thing you should know is that the area of a rectangle is base*height sin of (

the included angle i.e

Arectangle= bh sin90° since all angles of a rectangle are equal then the included angle is 90°

<em>Arectangle= bh sin90° since sin90 is 1 we simply use the equation bh because multiplying bh by one is bh. bearing this in mind , the area of the parallelogram can be calculated as:</em>

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle Aparallelogram=6mm*10mm sin 60°

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle Aparallelogram=6mm*10mm sin 60°Aparallelogram=60mm² * 0.866

Aparallelogram= bh sin of sin of the included angle Aparallelogram=6mm*10mm sin 60°Aparallelogram=60mm² * 0.866Aparallelogram=51.96 mm² approximately
