In an examination of purchasing patterns of shoppers, a sample of 36 shoppers revealed that they spent, on average, $50 per hour

of shopping. Based on previous years, the population standard deviation is $4.80 per hour of shopping. Assuming that the amount spent per hour of shopping is normally distributed, calculate a 90% confidence interval.

Answer:

the 90% confidence interval is ( 48.684  , 51.316  )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the sample size = 36

Sample Mean = 50

standard deviation = 4.80

The objective is to calculate a 90% confidence interval.

At 90% confidence interval ;

the level of significance = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

The critical value for z_{\alpha/2} = z_{0.1/2}

= z_{0.05} = 1.645

The standard error S.E = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

=\dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{36}}

=\dfrac{4.8}{6}

= 0.8

The Confidence interval level can be computed as:

\bar x  \ \pm z \times \ \dfrac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n}}

For the lower limit :

\bar x  \ - z \times \ \dfrac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n}}

=50 \ - 1.645  \times \ \dfrac{ 4.8 }{\sqrt{36}}

=50 \ - 1.645  \times \ 0.8 }}

=50 - 1.316

= 48.684

For the upper limit :

\bar x  \ - z \times \ \dfrac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n}}

=50 \ + 1.645  \times \ \dfrac{ 4.8 }{\sqrt{36}}

=50 \ + 1.645  \times \ 0.8 }}

=50 + 1.316

= 51.316

Thus, the 90% confidence interval is ( 48.684  , 51.316  )

The missing side of the triangles are 5, 16.92, 7 and 5 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the missing sides.

a² + b² = c²

In the first triangle, a = 3, b = 4.

c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25

⇒ c = 5

∴ Missing side is 5

In the second triangle, a = 15, b = 8

c² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289

⇒ c = 16.92

Missing side is 16.92

In the third triangle, b = 24, c = 25

a² = c² - b²

a² = 25² - 24² = 625 - 576 = 49

⇒ a = 7

Missing side is 7

In the fourth triangle, a = 12, c = 13

b² = c² - a²

b² = 13² - 12² = 169 - 144 = 25

⇒ b = 5

Missing side is 5
