Flura [38]

First we should figure out how many times 2 goes into 69,(because each tile is 2 feet long) and I am going to do that by dividing 69 by 2. I got 34.5, so we can just say 35 to make it easier. So we now know we need 35 tiles, but they come in boxes of 6, so we will need to divide 35 by 6. It didn't make a full number (it was 5.833) but we need a full number of tiles so we will round up.

Our final number of how many boxes of tiles is 6.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$320128-1.96\frac{50324}{\sqrt{529}}=315839.52$

$320128+1.96\frac{50324}{\sqrt{529}}=324416.48$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (315839.52;324416.48)

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".

$\bar X=320128$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=50324$ represent the population standard deviation

n=529 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
