US consumers are increasingly using debit cards as a substitute for cash and checks. From a sample of 100 consumers, the average

amount annually spent on debit cards is $7,790. Assume that this average was based on a sample of 100 consumers and that the population standard deviation is $500.
A. At 99% confidence, what is the margin of error?
B. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent annually on a debit card.

Answer:

A. Margin of error = 128.79

B. The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (7661.21, 7918.79).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is know and is σ=500.

The sample mean is M=7790.

The sample size is N=100.

As σ is known, the standard error of the mean (σM) is calculated as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{500}{\sqrt{100}}=\dfrac{500}{10}=50

The z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.576.

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

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_M=2.576 \cdot 50=128.79

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

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 7790-128.79=7661.21\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 7790+128.79=7918.79

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (7661.21, 7918.79).

People, please answer me.
ikadub [295]
You are the correct one. If the person is not able to proof, and if you are rather sure about your answer, it is better to take your own answer instead :)

-9d = 63
<Multiply both sides by (-1)>
=> (-1) × (-9d) = (-1) × 63
=> 9d = -63
=> d = -7

Which event has a probability other than 1/2?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given events lets find out the event that has a probability other than 1/2.

A. Flipping a coin gives result of head or tail, so the probability of the result of tails is 1/2.

B. Choosing a vowel from a bag of tiles that contains one of each letter of the alphabet, so the probability of choosing vowel is 5/26.

C. A cube that has numbered from 1 to 6, there are 3 even numbers and 3 odd numbers, so the probability of rolling even number is 3/6 or 1/2.

D. There is 26 red cards in a standard deck of 52 cards, so the probability of choosing red card is 26/52 or 1/2.

Therefore, events A, C and D gives result of 1/2 and B other than 1/2

So Option B is the correct answer.
