Answer:
A) sample mean = $1.36 million
B) standard deviation = $0.9189 million
C) confidence interval = ($1.93 million , $0.79 million)
*since the sample size is very small, the confidence interval is not valid.
Step-by-step explanation:
samples:
- $2.7 million
- $2.4 million
- $2.2 million
- $2 million
- $1.5 million
- $1.5 million
- $0.5 million
- $0.5 million
- $0.2 million
- $0.1 million
sample mean = $1.36 million
the standard deviation:
- $2.7 million - $1.36 million = 1.34² = 1.7956
- $2.4 million - $1.36 million = 1.04² = 1.0816
- $2.2 million - $1.36 million = 0.84² = 0.7056
- $2 million - $1.36 million = 0.64² = 0.4096
- $1.5 million - $1.36 million = 0.14² = 0.0196
- $1.5 million - $1.36 million = 0.14² = 0.0196
- $0.5 million - $1.36 million = -0.86² = 0.7396
- $0.5 million - $1.36 million = -0.86² = 0.7396
- $0.2 million - $1.36 million = -1.16² = 1.3456
- $0.1 million - $1.36 million = -1.26² = 1.5876
- total $8.444 million / 10 = $0.8444 million
standard deviation = √0.8444 = 0.9189
95% confidence interval = mean +/- 1.96 standard deviations/√n:
$1.36 million + [(1.96 x $0.9189 million)/√10] = $1.36 million + $0.57 million = $1.93 million
$1.36 million - $0.57 million = $0.79 million
The domain of a certain function are all possible values of x that are applicable to the function or can make the function true. For this certain function, the domain is from the time that the book was released to the time that the sales was also zero due to steady decline in sales.
