$20/128 = 6.75/x

using cross products

20x=128*6.75

divide by 20

x =43.20

Answer:

a) And if we replace we got: $\bar X= 78$

$s = 15.391$

b) $78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=62.182$

$78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=93.818$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (62.182;93.818)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dataset given: 109 67 58 76 65 80 96 86 71 72

Part a

For this case we can calculate the sample mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And if we replace we got: $\bar X= 78$

And the deviation is given by:

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And if we replace we got $s = 15.391$

Part b

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:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

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(0.005,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=3.25$

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

$78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=62.182$

$78-3.25\frac{15.391}{\sqrt{10}}=93.818$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (62.182;93.818)
