A sample of size =n72 is drawn from a population whose standard deviation is =σ25. Part 1 of 2 (a) Find the margin of error for

a 95% confidence interval for μ. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for μ is . Part 2 of 2 (b) If the sample size were =n89, would the margin of error be larger or smaller?

Answer:

a) margin of error ME = 5.77

b) Margin of error becomes smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

x+/-ME

Where margin of error ME = zr/√n

a)

Given that;

Mean = x

Standard deviation r = 25

Number of samples n = 72

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

ME = 1.96(25/√72)

ME = 1.96(2.946278254943)

ME = 5.774705379690

ME = 5.77

b)

For n = 89

ME = 1.96(25/√89)

ME = 1.96(2.649994700015)

ME = 5.193989612031

ME = 5.19

5.19 is smaller than 5.77 in a) above. So,

Margin of error becomes smaller

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 3+2 = 5, and the 3 ratio units representing large bandages make up 3/5 of that total. Thus, large bandages will make up 3/5 of the total number of bandages:

  3/5×80 = 48 . . . . number of large bandages in the kit

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for difference between two means is:

CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2,(n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}

Given:

\bar x_{1}=M_{1}=6.1\\\bar x_{2}=M_{2}=4.9\\SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}=0.25

Confidence level = 80%

t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}=t_{0.20/2, (5+5-2)}=t_{0.10,8}=1.397

*Use a <em>t</em>-table for the critical value.

Compute the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means as follows:

CI=(6.1-4.9)\pm 1.397\times 0.25\\=1.2\pm 0.34925\\=(0.85075, 1.54925)\\\approx(0.85, 1.55)

Thus, the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

19 is 50% of what number
RSB [31]

If 19 is half (50%) of something, find that number you would just have to multiply 19 by 2.

This means that 19 is 50% of 38.
