The lengths of text messages are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 6 characters and an unknown popula

tion mean. If a random sample of 21 text messages is taken and results in a sample mean of 30 characters, find a 80% confidence interval for the population mean. Round your answers to two decimal places. z0.10 z0.05 z0.04 z0.025 z0.01 z0.005 1.282 1.645 1.751 1.960 2.326 2.576

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the population mean is between 28.32 characters and 31.68 characters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the population, so we can use the normal distribution. If we had the standard deviation for the sample, we would have to use the t-distribution.

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.8}{2} = 0.1

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.5 = 0.9, so z = 1.282

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.282*\frac{6}{\sqrt{21}} = 1.68

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 30 - 1.68 = 28.32 characters.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 30 + 1.68 = 31.68 characters.

The 80% confidence interval for the population mean is between 28.32 characters and 31.68 characters.

Eighty-five more than the square of a number is the same as the square of the quantity that is 17 less than the number. What is
mario62 [17]
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
  x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
           -85                       -85
_______________________
      x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204                    
     +34x         +34x
_______________________
 x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2             -x^2
____________________
       34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
      x = 6.
The number is 6.
