John Calipari, head basketball coach for the national champion University of Kentucky Wildcats, is the highest paid coach in col

lege basketball with an annual salary of million (USA Today, March 29, 2012). The following sample shows the head basketball coach's salary for a sample of schools playing NCAA Division basketball. Salary data are in millions of dollars.
University Coach's Salary University Coach's Salary
Indian 2.2 Syracuse 1.5
Xavier .5 Murry State .2
Texas 2.4 Florida State 1.1
Connecticut 2.7 South Dekota State .1
West Virginia 2.0 Vermont .2
A. Use the sample mean for the 10 schools to estimate the population mean annual salary for head basketball coaches at colleges and universities playing NCAA Division 1 basketball (to 2 decimal).
B. Use the data to estimate the population standard deviation for the annual salary for head basketball coaches (to 4 decimals).
C. what is the 95% confidence interval for the population variance (to 2 decimals)?
D. what is the 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

A) sample mean = $1.36 million

B) standard deviation = $0.9189 million

C) variance confidence interval = ($0.40 million, $2.81 million)

D) standard deviation confidence interval = ($1.93 million , $0.79 million)

*since the sample size is very small, the confidence interval is not valid.

Step-by-step explanation:

samples:

  1. $2.7 million
  2. $2.4 million
  3. $2.2 million
  4. $2 million
  5. $1.5 million
  6. $1.5 million
  7. $0.5 million
  8. $0.5 million
  9. $0.2 million
  10. $0.1 million

sample mean = $1.36 million

the standard deviation:

  • $2.7 million - $1.36 million = 1.34² = 1.7956
  • $2.4 million - $1.36 million = 1.04² = 1.0816
  • $2.2 million - $1.36 million = 0.84² = 0.7056
  • $2 million - $1.36 million = 0.64² = 0.4096
  • $1.5 million - $1.36 million = 0.14² = 0.0196
  • $1.5 million - $1.36 million = 0.14² = 0.0196
  • $0.5 million - $1.36 million = -0.86² = 0.7396
  • $0.5 million - $1.36 million = -0.86² = 0.7396
  • $0.2 million - $1.36 million = -1.16² = 1.3456
  • $0.1 million - $1.36 million = -1.26² = 1.5876
  • total $8.444 million / 10 = $0.8444 million

variance 0.8444

standard deviation = √0.8444 = 0.9189

in order to calculate the confidence interval for the population variance we are going to use a chi-square distribution with 2.5% on each tail ⇒ table values 2.7004 and 19.023 enclose 95% of the distribution.

[(n - 1) x variance] / 2.7004 = (9 x 0.8444) / 2.7004 = 2.81

[(n - 1) x variance] / 19.023 = (9 x 0.8444) / 19.023 = 0.40

95% confidence interval = mean +/- 1.96 standard deviations/√n:

$1.36 million + [(1.96 x $0.9189 million)/√10] = $1.36 million + $0.57 million = $1.93 million

$1.36 million - $0.57 million = $0.79 million

Need some help on this. any help is appreciated :) !!
kirza4 [7]

If we think about a normal curve / bell curve and the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that the majority of data will lie within 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations from the mean. The mean is in the center of the curve, and to each side of the mean, 34% of the data lies 1 standard deviation on either side of the mean. Therefore, we need to add and subtract one standard deviation from the mean.

85 + 12 = 97

85 - 12 = 73

Correct Answer: B. 73 - 97

Hope this helps!! :)

"A passenger train traveled 100 miles in the same amount of time it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. The rate of the fre
Pavel [41]

Answer: the rate of the passenger train is 100 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate of the passenger train.

The rate of the freight train was 10 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. It means that the rate of the freight train is (x - 10) mph

The passenger train traveled 100 miles. It means that the time it took travel 100 miles is

100/x

In the same amount of time, it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. It means that the time it took travel 90 miles is

90/(x - 10)

Since the time is the same, then

100/x = 90/(x - 10)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

100(x - 10) = 90x

100x - 1000 = 90x

100x - 90x = 1000

10x = 1000

x = 100 mph
