In an examination of purchasing patterns of shoppers, a sample of 16 shoppers revealed that they spent, on average, $54 per hour

of shopping. Based on previous years, the population standard deviation is thought to be $21 per hour of shopping. Assuming that the amount spent per hour of shopping is normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount.

Answer:

54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39    

54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=54 represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=21 represent the sample standard deviation

n=16 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

54-1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=45.39    

54 +1.64\frac{21}{\sqrt{16}}=62.61    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (45.39;62.61)

Find the value of x in kite EFGH<br>​
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

x = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of all interior angles of any four-sided figure has 360 degrees

∡F and ∡H are equal

add all four expressions and set them equal to 360

x + (x + 5) +( x + 5) + (140 - x) = 360

combine like terms

2x + 150 = 360

2x = 210

x = 105

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

  • b - below; y = 2x − 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 2x − y > 2
  • 2x - y + y - 2 > 2 + y - 2
  • 2x - 2 > y
  • y < 2x - 2

Solution is the points below the line y = 2x - 2

<u>Correct option is:</u>

  • b - below; y = 2x − 2
