An experiment was conducted to record the jumping distances of paper frogs made from construction paper. Based on the sample, th

e corresponding 95% confidence interval for the mean jumping distance is (8.8104, 11.1248)cm. What is the corresponding 98% confidence interval for the mean jumping distance?

Answer:

9.9676 - 2.326*0.5904 =8.594

9.9676 + 2.326*0.5904 =11.341

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

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

For this case the 9% confidence interval is given by:

8.8104 \leq \mu \leq 11.1248

We can calculate the mean with the following:

\bar X = \frac{8.8104 +11.1248}{2}= 9.9676

And we can find the margin of error with:

ME= \frac{11.1248- 8.8104}{2}= 1.1572

The margin of error for this case is given by:

ME = t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = t_{\alpha/2} SE

And we can solve for the standard error:

SE = \frac{ME}{t_{\alpha/2}}

The critical value for 95% confidence using the normal standard distribution is approximately 1.96 and replacing we got:

SE = \frac{1.1572}{1.96}= 0.5904

Now for the 98% confidence interval the significance is \alpha=1-0.98= 0.02 and \alpha/2 = 0.01 the critical value would be 2.326 and then the confidence interval would be:

9.9676 - 2.326*0.5904 =8.594

9.9676 + 2.326*0.5904 =11.341

I think it's B. 13/10 * 4 Explanation: It's +0.3 more servings, so it would rule out C and D, which uses the digit 7(nothing to do with this problem. 13/10 instead of 3/10 because it's adding 0.3. More than 4L

Helllppppp can’t find the answer!!!

Slope of a line can be determined using this formula
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

From the question, we know that
(x₁,y₁) = (2,-3)
(x₂,y₂) = (2,9)

plug the numbers into the formula
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
m = (9 - (-3)) / (2 - 2)
m = (9 + 3) / (2 - 2)
m = 12/0
m = undefined
The pairs must form a vertical line
