We wish to give a 90% confidence interval for the mean value of a normally distributed random variable. We obtain a simple rando

m sample of 9 elements from the population on which the variable is defined. The sample has a mean value of 10.2 and a sample standard deviation 1.5. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean value.

Answer: (9.27025,\ 11.12975)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 9

Degree of freedom = df =n-1 =8

Sample mean : \overline{x}=10.2

sample standard deviation : s= 1.5

Significance level ; \alpha= 1-0.90=0.10

Since population standard deviation is not given , so we use t- test.

Using t-distribution table , we have

Critical value = t_{\alpha/2, df}=t_{0.05 , 8}=1.8595

Confidence interval for the population mean :

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2, df}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

90% confidence interval for the mean value will be :

10.2\pm (1.8595)\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}

10.2\pm (1.8595)\dfrac{1.5}{3}

10.2\pm (1.8595)(0.5)

10.2\pm (0.92975)

(10.2-0.92975,\ 10.2+0.92975)

(9.27025,\ 11.12975)

Hence, the 90% confidence interval for the mean value= (9.27025,\ 11.12975)

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

14.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of a square and S be the length of one of its sides.

The area of a square is A = S². We know A = 214 in this problem, so:

214 = S²

√214 = S

S ≈ 14.629 ≈ 14.6 feet (to the nearest tenth of a foot)
