Answer:

If a 95% confidence interval had been constructed instead (everything else remaining the same), the width of the interval would have been <u>wider</u> and the probability of making an error would have been <u>smaller</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a confidence interval is:

W=2\times CV\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The width depends on three things,

  • Sample size (<em>n</em>)
  • Sample standard deviation (<em>σ</em>)
  • Critical value (<em>CV</em>)

The critical value of the test statistic is dependent upon the confidence level.

The higher the confidence level larger is the critical value and vice-versa.

And the critical value is directly proportional to the width of the confidence interval.

So, bigger the confidence level wider is the interval.

For instance, refer the table below

Confidence level <em>z</em>

     90%               1.64

     95%               1.96

     99%               2.58

Refer the <em>z</em>-table for the z-values.

Thus, a 99% confidence level is bigger than both the 95% and 90% confidence level.

Hence, a 95% confidence interval will be wider than the 90% confidence interval.

Why is the point ( 3, 4 ) the solution to this system of equations?<br> y= 1/3x + 3<br> y= 2x - 2
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The answer to your question is because it is a solution of each equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point (3,4)

Equation l     y = 1/3x + 3

Equation ll     y = 2x - 2

Process

1.- To test is a point is solution to a system of equations,

-Substitute the point in both equations

Equation l            4 = 1/3(3) + 3

                            4 = 1 + 3

                            4 = 4               The point is a solution because

                                                     4 = 4

Equation ll            4 = 2(3) - 2

                             4 = 6 - 2

                             4 = 4               This point is a solution for the second

                                                     equation but not for the first one.

2.- Conclusion

As the point is a solution of each equation, it is a solution of the system.

The line that contains the point Q( 1, -2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y - 4 = 2/3 (x - 3)
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

y + 2 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 4 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 3) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = \frac{2}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus equation of parallel line

with m = \frac{2}{3} and (a, b) = Q(1, - 2) is

y - (- 2) = \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) , that is

y + 2 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)
