What property is (3x5)x2=5x(2x3)

An SRS of 350 high school seniors gained an average of x¯=21 points in their second attempt at the SAT Mathematics exam. Assume

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a) $21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

b) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

c) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

d) D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

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".

Part a

$\bar X=21$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=52$ represent the population standard deviation

n=350 represent the sample size

99% confidence interval

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 0.99 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: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

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

$21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

Part b

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

Part c

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

Part d

As we can see when we reduce the sample size we increase the margin of error so the best option for this case is:

D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

During their lastest visit to the eye doctor, Ebony and Chelsea got their eyes checked.

frutty [35]

1. Ebony's right eye....opposite of -1.50 = 1.50
2. the rational numbers are : -1.50, 1.50, -1.00, and 0.25....these are all rational because they can be turned into fractions.
3. least to greatest : -1.50, -1.00, 0.25, 1.50
4. not sure how to answer this...negatives are always less then positives....however, with negatives,unlike positives, the larger the number, the smaller it is.
