When consumers apply for credit, their credit is rated using FICO (Fair, Isaac, and Company) scores. Credit ratings are given be

low for a sample of applicants for car loans.
661 595 548 730 791 678 672 491 492 583 762 624 769 729 734 706

a. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean FICO score of all applicants for credit.
b. If one bank requires a credit rating of at least 620 for a car loan, does it appear that almost all applicants will have suitable credit ratings? Why or why not?

Answer:

a) The 99% confidence interval would be given by (589.588;731.038)

b) If we see the confidence interval the 620 is included on the interval we don't have enough evidence to reject the rating is 620. But since we need a score that at least 620 and our lower limit is 589.588 we cant conclude that all the clients would have a score that at least of 620.  

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".

The data is:

661 595 548 730 791 678 672 491 492 583 762 624 769 729 734 706

Part a

Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.  

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we need to have on mind the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}  

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

=AVERAGE(661, 595, 548, 730, 791, 678, 672, 491 ,492, 583, 762 ,624 ,769, 729, 734, 706)

On this case the average is \bar X= 660.313

=STDEV.S(661, 595, 548, 730, 791, 678, 672, 491 ,492, 583, 762 ,624 ,769, 729, 734, 706)

The sample standard deviation obtained was s=95.898

Find the critical value t* Use the formula for a CI to find upper and lower endpoints

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that our sample size n =16<30 and on this case we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=16-1=15

We can find the critical values in excel using the following formulas:

"=T.INV(0.005,15)" for t_{\alpha/2}=-2.95

"=T.INV(1-0.005,15)" for t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.95

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

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

And if we find the limits we got:

660.313- 2.95\frac{95.898}{\sqrt{16}}=589.588  

[tex]660.313+ 2.95\frac{95.898}{\sqrt{16}}=731.038/tex]  

So the 99% confidence interval would be given by (589.588;731.038)

Part b

If we see the confidence interval the 620 is included on the interval we don't have enough evidence to reject the rating is 620. But since we need a score that at least 620 and our lower limit is 589.588 we cant conclude that all the clients would have a score that at least of 620.

The graph has a y-intercept of 2 and is shifted to the right 6 from the parent function.

The parent function, y=√x, looks like a parabola laid on its side.  We generally only consider the positive square root unless told otherwise.  Since we have √(x-6) instead of just √x, the graph is shifted to the right 6 units.  The +2 at the end of the equation shifts the graph up 2.

how would a enter a payment that was accepted with a 4 month, 8% note in a payment of a $4800.00 account
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Enter a payment of 5192.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The payment is $4800 with a 4 month, 8% note.

The amount can be calculated as:

Amount=p(1+\frac{r}{m})^{mt}

Where <em>p</em> is money invested, <em>r</em> is annual interest rate, <em>t</em> is number of years and <em>m</em> is number of period.

Now substitute p = 4800 r = 0.08 and m = 4 in the above formula.

Amount=4800(1+\frac{0.08}{4})^4

Amount=4800(1+0.02)^4

Amount=4800(1.02)^4

Amount=4800(1.08243216)

Amount=5195.52\ approximately

Hence, enter a payment of 5192.52.
