A 99% confidence interval for the mean μ of a population is computed from a random sample and found to be 6 ± 3. We may conclude

that:
A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

B. there is a 99% probability that the true mean is 6, and there is a 99% chance that the true margin of error is 3.

C. All of the above.

D. if we took many, many additional random samples, and from each computed a 99% confidence interval for μ, approximately 99% of these intervals would contain μ

Answer:

A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

From a random sample, we build a confidence interval, with a confidence level of x%.

The interpretation is that we are x% sure that the interval contains the true mean of the population.

In this problem:

99% confidence interval.

6 ± 3.

So between 6-3 = 3 and 6 + 3 = 9.

So we are 99% sure that the true population mean is between 3 and 9.

So the correct answer is:

A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

Answer:

For this case the confidence interval is given by (6-3=3 , 6+3=9)

And we can conclude that with 99% of confidence the true mean is between 3 and 9

And the best interpretation for this case is:

D. if we took many, many additional random samples, and from each computed a 99% confidence interval for μ, approximately 99% of these intervals would contain μ

Because NEVER the confidence interval can be interpreted as a chance or a probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

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

For this case the confidence interval is given by (6-3=3 , 6+3=9)

And we can conclude that with 99% of confidence the true mean is between 3 and 9

And the best interpretation for this case is:

D. if we took many, many additional random samples, and from each computed a 99% confidence interval for μ, approximately 99% of these intervals would contain μ

Because NEVER the confidence interval can be interpreted as a chance or a probability.

So the first two line segments added together equals the full line segment. So, 8y + 5 + 7y = 13y + 25

15y + 5 = 13y + 25

2y = 20

y = 10

An ice cream cone has a diameter of 7 cm and a height of 13 cm. How many milliliters of melted ice cream can it hold? (1 cm3 hol
allsm [11]
This question is asking for the volume of the cone.
The formula is 1/3π r²h where r is radius and h is height.
First we must find the radius by dividing the diameter in half, giving us 3.5
Now we plug our values into the formula like this:

1/3 π r²h
1/3 π3.5² 13

This gives us the answer of 166.76mL or 166.8mL depending on how you want to round it.

Hope this helps :)

48. Reading Rates The reading speed of sixth-grade students is approximately normal, with a mean speed of 125 words per minute a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile is 155.72 words per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 125, \sigma = 24

What is the reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 125}{24}

X - 125 = 1.28*24

X = 155.72

The reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile is 155.72 words per minute.
