A recent Gallup poll asked 1006 Americans, "During the past year, about how many books, either hardcover or paperback, did you r

ead either all or part of the way through?" Results of the survey indicated that x = 13.4 books and s = 16.6 books. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of books Americans read either all or part of during the preceding year. Interpret that interval.

Answer:

The required interval is [12.0519,14.7481]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that:

n = 1006, mean = 13.4 and s = 16.6  

We need to construct a 99% confidence interval.

That means α = 0.01 and α/2 = 0.005

Z_{\alpha/2}=2.5758

First find the standard error as shown:

SE=\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1006}} =0.5234

Now to calculate confidence interval calculate: Mean \pm Z_{\alpha/2} \times SE

=13.4 \pm 2.5758 \times 0.5234

=13.4 \pm 1.34817372

[12.0519,14.7481]

Hence, the required interval is [12.0519,14.7481]

Jake and Danny agree to share the cost of renting a house for $1100. If Jake agrees to pay $250 more than Danny, how much money
SVEN [57.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 1100 by 2

550

Now that would be the amount the both of them would have to pay if they were splitting it equally. Since there not add 250 to 550.

250+550=800

Finally subtract 250 from 550

550-250=300

Jake has to pay $550

Danny has to pay $300

Hey their,

3/4 
1/4
1/12
1/36
0/60

The pattern is -1/x every 2 +x/8 

How i got this was 36/12=3
3*12=36
so 60-36=24
24x3/2+24=60
then 60/5=12

Hopethis helped
