ked. 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. A) ($532.86, $840.64) C) (S513.14, $860.36) B) (S544.87, $828.63) D) (S326.21, $437.90)

Answer:

(513.14, 860.36) is a 98% confidence interval for the true mean

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a small sample size of n = 15, the mean balance was \bar{x} = 686.75 with a standard deviation of s = 256.20. The confidence interval is given by \bar{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}) where t_{\alpha/2} is the 100(\alpha/2)th quantile of the t distribution with n-1=15-1=14 degrees of freedom. As we want a 100(1-\alpha)% = 98% confidence interval, we have that \alpha = 0.02 and the confidence interval is 686.75\pm t_{0.01}(\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}) where t_{0.01} is the 1st quantile of the t distribution with 14 df, i.e., t_{0.01} = -2.6245. Then, we have 686.75\pm (-2.6245)(\frac{256.20}{\sqrt{15}}) and the 98% confidence interval is given by (513.1379, 860.3621)

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -7 and a y intercept of 9. ( Hint: Use the formula y = mx + b )
iogann1982 [59]
The y intercept is 9 and the unit rate is -7

So we plug these numbers in
y= -7x (the unit rate)+ 9 (y intercept)

y= -7x+9
