You are interested in purchasing a new car and have done some research. One of the many points you wish to consider is the resal

e value of the car after 5 years. You wish to estimate the resale value of the one that piques your interest with a 99% confidence interval. In your research, you obtain data on 17 recently resold 5-year-old sedans of the same model you wish to purchase. These 17 cars were resold at an average price of $12,500 with a standard deviation of $700. What is the 99% CI for the true mean resale value?

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval would be given by (12004.26;12995.74)  

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=12500 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=700 represent the sample standard deviation

n=17 represent the sample size  

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=17-1=16

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,16)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.92

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

12500-2.92\frac{700}{\sqrt{17}}=12004.26    

12500+2.92\frac{700}{\sqrt{17}}=12995.74    

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (12004.26;12995.74)

If the amount of variability due to within group differences is equal to the amount of variability due to between group differen
Anna11 [10]

If the amount of variability due to within-group differences is equal to the amount of variability due to between-group differences, your F value will be equal to one (1).

<h3>What is the F value?</h3>

In biology, the F value is a statistic used to estimate the variation level between different groups that can be explained by collected data.

The F value is used to test (either confirm or reject) a given explanation of data, which is known as the null hypothesis.

In conclusion, if the amount of variability due to within-group differences is equal to the amount of variability due to between-group differences, your F value will be equal to one (1).

In a small, closed economy, national income (GDP) is $ 500.00 million for the current month. Individuals have spent $ 300.00 mil
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The total investment in the economy is $50 million

Explanation:

The following equation is used to calculate the GDP: GDP = C + I + G + (X – M) or GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government investment + government spending + (exports – imports)

Using this formula we can determine the amount of investment.

Investment = 500 (GDP) - 300 (private consumption) - 150 (government spending) = $50.
