A confidence interval for the population mean μ tells us which values of μ are plausible (those inside the interval) and which v

alues are not plausible (those outside the interval) at the chosen level of confidence.
You can use this idea to carry out a test of any null hypothesis H0: μ = μ0 starting with a confidence interval: reject H0ifμ0is outside the interval and fail to reject ifμ0is inside the interval.
The alternative hypothesis is always two-sided, Ha: μ ≠ μ0, because the confidence interval extends in both directions from x.
A 95% confidence interval leads to a test at the 5% significance level because the interval is wrong 5% of the time.
In general, confidence level C leads to a test at significance level α = 1 − C.

Step 1:
In Example 17.7, a medical director found mean blood pressure x = 126.07 for an SRS of 72 executives.
The standard deviation of the blood pressures of all executives is σ = 15.
Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean blood pressure μ of all executives.

a. 123.16 to 128.98
b. 122.54 to 129.46
c. 125.63 to 126.51
d. 124.30 to 127.84

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the mean blood pressure of all executives is 123.12 to 129.02.

The closest option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean + or - Error margin (E)

mean = 126.07

sd = 15

n = 72

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 72 - 1 = 71

Confidence level (C) = 90% = 0.9

Significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10%

t-value corresponding to 71 degrees of freedom and 10% significance level is 1.6667

E = t×sd/√n = 1.6667×15/√72 = 2.95

Lower limit = mean - E = 126.07 - 2.95 = 123.12

Upper limit = mean + E = 126.07 + 2.95 = 129.02

90% confidence interval for the mean blood pressure of all executives is between a lower limit of 123.12 and an upper limit of 129.02.

What is 8.57 in fraction or mixed number as a decimal
aivan3 [116]
To write 8.57 as a fraction you have to write 8.57 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
8.57 = 8.57/1 = 85.7/10 = 857/100

And finally we have: 
8.57 as a fraction equals 857/100

Find the value of x<br> (I need help with both of them pls)
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

1. x = 21

2. x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the interior angles of all quadrilaterals add up to 360, all we have to do is add them up and set them equal to 360. Combine like terms and we get

7x + 213 = 360

Which further turns to 7x = 147

So x = 21

For the second problem, it's the same thing

By the end we get 2x + 8 = 46

2x = 38

x = 19

Hope this helps
