Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.011;3.2188)

But on this case the most accurate option seems to be :  a. (0.00, 3.69)

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".  

Solution to the problem

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

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:  

df=n-1=12-1=11  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,11)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.201  

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

1.6-2.201\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{12}}=0.011  

1.6+2.201\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{12}}=3.188  

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.011;3.2188)

But on this case the most accurate option seems to be :  a. (0.00, 3.69)

LenKa [72]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Project scope deals with the specific requirements or tasks necessary to complete the project. Scope is important to manage on any project, because if you can’t control the scope of the project, you’re not likely to deliver it on time. Also should the scope get widened it will result in time taken to complete the project.

Every project is faced with the triple constraint, which are the time, scope and cost.

Answer:

2,000

Explanation:

On average, a person who have a full time job works will work approximately 2,000 hours each year reason been that we have 5 working days in a week and standard working hours in a weeks is 40 hours (5days×8hours daily) which means 8 hours daily , secondly we have 52 weeks in a year, now assuming that person takes 2 weeks off each year for his or her vacation we would have 50 weeks left (52 weeks-2 weeks vacation) which means that the person would be working 50 weeks of the year multiply by 40 hours a week which will give us a total of 2,000 hours each year.

40 work hours weekly× 50 weeks yearly

=2,000 hours of work each year

Therefore on average, a person with a full time job works approximately 2,000 hours each year.
