Answer:

a) 98% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers.

(453.586 , 874.693)

b)   95% confidence interval for the standard deviation.

(214.91 , 441.53)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a size of sample 'n' =14

given mean of the sample x⁻ = $664.14

standard deviation of the sample 'S' = $297.29.

a)

<u>98% of confidence intervals</u>

<u></u>(x^{-} - t_{\alpha } \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-}+ t_{\alpha }\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } )<u></u>

The degrees of freedom γ=n-1 =14-1 =13

t₁₃ = 2.650 at 98% of confidence level of signification.

(664.14- 2.650\frac{297.29}{\sqrt{14} } , 664.14+ 2.650\frac{297.29}{\sqrt{14} } )

on calculation, we get

(664.14-210.553 , 664.14+210.553)

(453.586 , 874.693)

98% confidence interval for the true mean checking account balance for local customers.

(453.586 , 874.693)

<u>95% of confidence intervals</u>

({s\sqrt{\frac{n-1}{X^{2} _{(\frac{\alpha }{2} ,n-1) } } } ,s\sqrt{\frac{n-1}{X^2_{\frac{1-\alpha }{2},n-1 } } }  )

The degrees of freedom γ=n-1 =14-1 =13

X^2_{0.05,13} =22.36     (check table)

X^2_{0.95,13} = 5.892    (check table)

(297.29. (\sqrt{\frac{14-1}{X^2_{0.05,13}  } } ),297.29(\sqrt{\frac{14-1}{X^2_{0.95,13} } } )

(297.29. (\sqrt{\frac{14-1}{22.36  } } ),297.29(\sqrt{\frac{14-1}{5.892 } } )

(214.91 , 441.53)

95% confidence interval for the standard deviation.

(214.91 , 441.53)

Nonamiya [84]

First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.

2/6 can be simplified to 1/3

We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.

5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.

Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.

6000/x would equal 4/15.

Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.

90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.

90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.

4/15 is the fraction by Jack

22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
