Answer:

a) CI: 1.3

b) CI: 2.5

c) CI: 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have a sample of size n=10 and a sample mean of x=2.7.

The σ² of the population is known and is σ²=9 or σ=3.

For a CI of 85%, the z-value is 1.44.

Then the lower and upper limits of the CI are:

LL=M-z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =2.7-1.44*\frac{3}{\sqrt{10} }=2.7-1.44*\frac{3}{3.162} =2.7-1.4=1.3\\\\UL=M+z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =2.7+1.4=4.1

The 85% confidence interval for the mean is defined by the values LL=1.3 and UL=4.1.

CI: 1.3

b) In this case, the variance of the population is unknown.

We have to estimate the variance of the population from the variance of the sample.

Sample data:

n = 100

x(mean) = 2.7

s² = 1.1

The CI is defined as

x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

The value of t depends of the degrees of freedom and the percentage of confidence.

In this case, the degrees of freedom are n-1=100-1=99 and the CI is of 90%.

We look up in a t-table and the t-value for this conditions is 1.6604.

We can now calculate the CI

LL: x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7-1.6604*\frac{\sqrt{1.1} }{\sqrt{100} } =2.7-0.2=2.5\\\\UL: x+t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7+0.2=2.9

The 90% confidence interval for the mean is defined by the values LL=2.5 and UL=2.9.

CI: 2.5

c) In this case, the variance of the population is unknown.

We have to estimate the variance of the population from the variance of the sample.

Sample data:

n = 10

x(mean) = 2.7

s² = 1.1

The CI is defined as

x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

The value of t depends of the degrees of freedom and the percentage of confidence.

In this case, the degrees of freedom are n-1=10-1=9 and the CI is of 95%.

We look up in a t-table and the t-value for this conditions is 2.2622.

We can now calculate the CI

LL: x-t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7-2.2622*\frac{\sqrt{1.1} }{\sqrt{10} } =2.7-0.7=2.0\\\\UL: x+t*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }=2.7+0.7=3.4

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is defined by the values LL=2.0 and UL=3.4.

CI: 2.0

What is slope and how do you find it??
lions [1.4K]

the formula for slope is

\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

so just replace y and x for the proper values

Solve for X. 5.4 + 0.2x = 7.09 Enter your answer as a decimal or as a mixed number in simplest form in the box. x =
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

x = 8.45

Step-by-step explanation:

5.4 + 0.2x = 7.09

Subtract 5.4 from both sides to leave 0.2x alone

0.2x = 1.69

Divide by 0.2 on both sides to isolate x

x = 1.69/0.2

x = 8.45
