Suppose that a manager is interested in estimating the average amount of money customers spend in her store. After sampling 36 t

ransactions at random, she found that the average amount spent was $ 41.15 . She then computed a 90 % confidence interval to be between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

Answer:

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

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

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: Which statement gives a valid interpretation of the interval?

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by the 36 sampled customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that the mean amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29.

There is a 90% chance that a randomly selected customer will spend between S38.01 and $44.29.

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

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)

The 90% confidence interval for this case would be (38.01, 44.29) and is given.

The best interpretation for this case would be: We are 90% confident that the true average is between $ 38.01 and $ 44.29 .

And the best option would be:

The store manager is 90% confident that the average amount spent by all customers is between S38.01 and $44.29

An airplane has a wingspan of 20 feet and a length of 15 feet. If the model of this airplane has a wingspan of 8 inches, what is
Katen [24]

Answer:

The length of the model is 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wingspan of the airplane and length of the airplane are a ratio of 4:3

The model is also supposed to be 4:3.

4:3 x 2 = 8:6

Or, 20x12=240

240/8=30

15x12=180

180/30=6.

About 15​% of the population of a large country is allergic to pollenallergic to pollen. if two people are randomly​ selected, w
zubka84 [21]
P(allergic) = 0.15

P(both are allergic to pollen) = (0.15)² = 0.0225 (you can use the binomial probability also)

Q(NOT allergic to pollen) = 1 - 0.0225 = 0.9775
Binomial probability

Probability of NEITHER is allergic
ⁿCₓ(p)ˣ(q)ⁿ⁻ˣ
²C₀(0.15)⁰(0.9775)² = 0.9555

P(at LEAST ONE is allergic) = 1- 0.9555 = 0.0444
