In a survey, 11 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped

with a mean of $46 and standard deviation of $14. Construct a confidence interval at a 90% confidence level.

Answer:

The population standard deviation is not known.

90% Confidence interval by T₁₀-distribution: (38.3, 53.7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The "standard deviation" of $14 comes from a survey. In other words, the true population standard deviation is not known, and the $14 here is an estimate. Thus, find the confidence interval with the Student t-distribution. The sample size is 11. The degree of freedom is thus 11 - 1 = 10.

Start by finding 1/2 the width of this confidence interval. The confidence level of this interval is 90%. In other words, the area under the bell curve within this interval is 0.90. However, this curve is symmetric. As a result,

  • The area to the left of the lower end of the interval shall be 1/2 \cdot (1 - 0.90)= 0.05.
  • The area to the left of the upper end of the interval shall be 0.05 + 0.90 = 0.95.

Look up the t-score of the upper end on an inverse t-table. Focus on the entry with

  • a degree of freedom of 10, and
  • a cumulative probability of 0.95.

t \approx 1.812.

This value can also be found with technology.

The formula for 1/2 the width of a confidence interval where standard deviation is unknown (only an estimate) is:

\displaystyle t \cdot \frac{s_{n-1}}{\sqrt{n}},

where

  • t is the t-score at the upper end of the interval,
  • s_{n-1} is the unbiased estimate for the standard deviation, and
  • n is the sample size.

For this confidence interval:

  • t \approx 1.812,
  • s_{n-1} = 14, and
  • n = 11.

Hence the width of the 90% confidence interval is

\displaystyle 1.812 \times \frac{14}{\sqrt{10}} \approx 7.65.

The confidence interval is centered at the unbiased estimate of the population mean. The 90% confidence interval will be approximately:

(38.3, 53.7).

The volume of a cylinder is 176 π cm and its height is 11 π cm.
Liula [17]

Answer:

r = sqrt(16/pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder formula = r^2 x pi x height

176 pi/11pi = 16

16 = r^2 x pi

16/ pi = r^2

r = sqrt(16/pi)

Find the sum of each set of numbers, as well as the size n of each set of numbers (n = number of numbers in the set). Use these
guapka [62]

We have to add numbers without a calculator.

1) 25, 35, 19, 31

We can group them by the last digit, so they are easy to add:

25 + 35 = 20 + 30 + 5 +5 = 50 + 10 = 60

19 + 31 = 10 + 30 + 9 +1 = 40 + 10 = 50

Then, 60 + 50 = 110

numbers in the set n = 4

Sum = 110

2) 101, 73, 49, 27, 24, 36

We can group them again by the last digit (adding 10, like the previous example).

We can substract the last digit from one number and add it to the other one. The result will be the same, but they will become easier to add.

101 + 49 = 100+50 = 150

73 + 27 = 70 + 30 = 100

24 + 36 = 20 + 40 = 60

150 + 100 + 60 = 250 + 60 = 310

numbers in the set n = 6

Sum = 310

3) 25, 25, 25, 30, 30, 30, 32, 32, 32

In this case we have 3 times the same numbers, so we can add the three different numbers and then multiply the total by 3.

We can use the properties of the multiplication to simplify the product (we will use the distributive property)

25 + 30 + 32 = 27 + 30 + 30 = 87

87 * 3 = 80*3 + 7*3 = 240 + 21 = 261

numbers in the set n = 9

Sum = 261

Answer:

c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 49 instead of 14 for 7²

Reason: 7² = 7 * 7 = 49

Not 14 as 7*2 = 14
