Provide an appropriate response. A local bank needs information concerning the checking account balances of its customers. A ran

dom sample of 15 accounts was checked. The mean balance was $686.75 with a standard deviation of $256.20. Find a 98% confidence interval for the true mean. Assume that the account balances are normally distributed. ($487.31, $563.80) ($326.21, $437.90) ($238.23, $326.41) ($513.17, $860.33)

Answer:

[$489.83, $883.67]

Step-by-step explanation:

The 98% confidence interval is given by the interval

\bf  [\bar x-t\frac{s}{\sqrt n}, \bar x+t\frac{s}{\sqrt n}]

where

\bf  \bar x=686.75 is the sample mean  

s = 256.20 is the sample standard deviation  

n = 15 is the sample size

t is the 2% critical value for the Student's t-distribution with 14 degrees of freedom (sample size -1), this is a value such that the area under the Student's t curve outside the interval [-t, t] is 2%=0.02.

We are using the t-distribution for it is the approximation to the Normal distribution for small samples (n<30).

Either by using a table or the computer, we find  

t = 2.9768

In Excel we use the function

<em>TINV(0.01,14) </em>

In OpenOffice Calc

<em>TINV(0.01;14) </em>

and our 98% confidence interval is

\bf  [686.75-2.9768*\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}, 686.75+2.9768*\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}]=\boxed{[\$489.83,\$883.67]}

Write 7 X 100 + 6 x 10 + 9 X (1/10) + 3 X (1/100) in standard form
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

760.93 i think!

Step-by-step explanation:

7 x 100=700

6 x 10=60

9 x (1/10)=0.9

3 x (1/100)=0.03

700+60+0.9+0.03=760.93

Which combination represents the empty set? motor ⋃ manual motor ⋃ bicycle motor ∩ manual motor ∩ bicycle
creativ13 [48]

The combination that denotes the empty set{∅} is motor ∩ bicycle.

<h3>What is a set theory?</h3>

Set theory is the mathematical study of well-defined groups of things called elements of the set.

In the given Venn diagram, the elements in the set of Motor, Manual, and Bicycle are as follows:

  • Motor = {8, 24}
  • Manual = {24, 32}
  • Bicycle = {44}
  • The union of motor and manual i.e. Motor ⋃ Manual = {24}

The combination that represents an empty set {∅} is the intersection that occurred between motor and bicycle and can be expressed as:

= motor ∩ bicycle

This is because there are no set elements overlapping between motor and bicycle, this makes it an empty set{∅}.
