You work for a consumer advocate agency and want to find the mean repair cost of a washing machine. As part of your study, you r

andomly select 30 repair costs and find the mean to be $100.00. The standard deviation of the sample is $25.20. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the population mean.

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the population mean is between a lower limit of $92.18 and an upper limit of $107.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for a population mean is given as mean +/- margin of error (E)

mean = $100

sd = $25.20

n = 30

degree of freedom = n-1 = 30-1 = 29

confidence level (C) = 90% = 0.9

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10%

critical value (t) corresponding to 29 degrees of freedom and 10% significance level is 1.699

E = t×sd/√n = 1.699×25.20/√30 = $7.82

Lower limit of population mean = mean - E = 100 - 7.82 = $92.18

Upper limit of population mean = mean + E = 100 + 7.82 = $107.82

90% confidence interval is ($92.18, $107.82)

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the population mean is [92.18 , 107.82].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that as part of your study, you randomly select 30 repair costs and find the mean to be $100.00. The standard deviation of the sample is $25.20.

So, the pivotal quantity for 90% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

           P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean = $100

            s = sample standard deviation = $25.20

            n = sample size = 30

            \mu = population mean

So, 90% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.699 < t_2_9 < 1.699) = 0.90

P(-1.699 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.699) = 0.90

P( -1.699 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < {\bar X - \mu} < 1.699 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.90

P( \bar X - 1.699 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < \bar X + 1.699 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.90

90% confidence interval for \mu = [ \bar X - 1.699 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } , \bar X + 1.699 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                                = [ 100 - 1.699 \times {\frac{25.20}{\sqrt{30} } , 100 + 1.699 \times {\frac{25.20}{\sqrt{30} } ]

                                                = [92.18 , 107.82]

Therefore, 90% confidence interval for the population mean is [92.18 , 107.82].

Answer:

Geometric sequence

common ratio

1/8 (or 0.125)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get to the next number we have the mulitply the one before by 1/8

Because we are multiplying each time it's a geometric sequence

Because it's a geometric sequence we have a common ratio

I wrote before that to get to the next number we have to multiply it by 1/8 so that's the common ratio

The median of the following data will ________________________ when you in add a data value of 1? (DO MATH on paper!) 8, 9, 9, 4
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

B decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets put the numbers in order from greatest to least.

10 9 9 8 6 4 4

Second, let's find the median without number 1. (The median is in bold.)

10 9 9 8 6 4 4

Third, let's add the number 1.

10 9 9 8 6 4 4 1

Fourth, let's find the median with the number 1.

10 9 9 8 6 4 4 1

Since there are two numbers in the middle let's find the average between them.

8+6=14

14/2= 7

Last, let's compare the two medians.

8>7

So when you add the number 1 the median decreases. So your answer is B decrease
