Answer: 24.67 ≤ μ ≤ 27.33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given: n = 81 students, Sample mean (x bar) = 26 and sample standard deviation (s) = 6.

Since the population standard deviation in unknown we use the student t distribution to estimate the mean. The mean is estimated as follows:

X bar - t (∝/2, n-1) x s/sqrt n ≤ μ ≤ X bar + t (∝/2, n-1) x s/sqrt n

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 81 - 1 = 80

∝ = 100 - 95 = 5% = 0.05   thus ∝/2 = 0.025

From the t distribution t (0.025,80) = 1.990

Substituting into the formula:

26 - 1.990 x 6/sqrt 81 ≤ μ ≤ 26 + 1.990 x 6/sqrt 81

24.67 ≤ μ ≤ 27.33

Nutka1998 [239]

We have been given that The boston celtics have won 16 nba championships over approximately 50 years. Therefore, it can be concluded that in any given year the probability of celtics winning the title will be p = 16/50 = 0.32

For Celtics to win eight straight championships in 1959, we will be required to multiply the probability of winning championship in one year to itself 8 times.

Therefore, the required probability is:

0.32^{8}=0.0001099511627776

Therefore, the required probability is almost 0.00011.
