Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean (calorie count of the snacks bars) is (130.32, 161.68).

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>"A random sample of a specific brand of snack bar is tested for calorie count, with the following results: </em><em>149, 145,140,160,149,153,131,134,153</em><em>. Assume the population standard deviation is </em><em>σ=24</em><em> and that the population is approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the calorie count of the snack bars."</em>

We start by calculating the mean of the sample:

M=\dfrac{1}{9}\sum_{i=1}^{9}(149+145+140+160+149+153+131+134+153)\\\\\\ M=\dfrac{1314}{9}=146

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is know and is σ=24.

The sample mean is M=146.

The sample size is N=9.

As σ is known, the standard error of the mean (σM) is calculated as: \sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{24}{\sqrt{9}}=\dfrac{24}{3}=8

The z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_M=1.96 \cdot 8=15.68

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 146-15.68=130.32\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 146+15.68=161.68

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is (130.32, 161.68).

Bingel [31]

Answer: 175

Step-by-step explanation: First, a group of five hundred combs produces 34 defective combs. So if they make 2,500, you multiply how many times you add 500 to get to 2,500, which should be 5. Now multiply that to 34 and you get 175! To check it, divide: 34 divide by 150. Hope this helps!
