Given:
Sample size, n = 40
Sample mean, xb = $6.88
Population std. deviation, σ = $1.92 (known)
Confidence interval = 90%
Assume normal distribution for the population.
The confidence interval is
(xb + 1.645*(σ/√n), xb - 1.645*(σ/√n)
= (6.88 + (1.645*1.92)/√40, 6.88 - (1.645*1.92)/√40)
= (7.38, 6.38)
Answer: The 90% confidence interval is (7.38, 6.38)
Answer:
Correct answer = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Andrea multiplied 6.75 x 10^6 and 0.2 x 10^6 and got 6.95 x 10^6.
Question asked:
Explain Andrea’s mistake and give the correct answer.
Solution:
The above question is of <u>exponential question</u>:
Here Andrea simply <u>added </u>6.75 to 0.2 and got 6.95 and took 10^6 as common and written down wholly 6.95 x 10^6 which is incorrect.
Here we <u>multiply</u> 6.75 to 0.2 and get 1.35 and secondly to multiply 10^6 with 10^6 we have to understand the rule of exponents:-
<u>As we know:</u>
<u></u>

Hence when we multiplied 6.75 x 10^6 and 0.2 x 10^6 originally we got

Add 2n to -5n
3<-3n
Divide -3 on both sides while flipping the inequaltiy sign.
Final Answer: -1>n</span>
