Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is between 25.86 and 28.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

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 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

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 = 1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{36}} = 1.14

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 27 - 1.14 = 25.86

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 27 + 1.14 = 28.14

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is between 25.86 and 28.14.

Answer:

27-1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{36}}=25.857  

27+1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{36}}=28.143  

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (25.857;28.143). And we can conclude that the true mean with 95% is between (25.857;28.143)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

\bar X=27 represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma=3.5 represent the population standard deviation  

n=36 represent the sample size  

95% confidence interval  

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

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 96%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):  

27-1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{36}}=25.857  

27+1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{36}}=28.143  

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (25.857;28.143). And we can conclude that the true mean with 95% is between (25.857;28.143)

Is the product of 3√ and 2.8 is a rational number acquisition?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

It is not rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt 3 * 2.8

Required

Rational or Irrational

\sqrt 3 * 2.8

\sqrt 3 =1.73205

So, we have:

\sqrt 3 * 2.8 = 1.73205 * 2.8

\sqrt 3 * 2.8 = 4.84974

<em>The result of the product: 4.84974  is not rational because it can not be represented as a fraction of two integers.</em>
