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)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

28.8 and 180

Step-by-step explanation:

you just times B by 2/5 to get C and divide it by 2/5 to get A

C = (72)(2/5) = 28.8 km³

A = (72)/(2/5) = 180 km³

We know the answers make sense because A shrinks to get B and B shrinks to get C, and our answers match that.

Vanyuwa [196]

y=mx+b

first find the y intercept or b or x=0

b=5

now find the slope

y²-y¹/x²-x¹--> 5-2/0-(-2)

m=3/2

the equation is D. y=3/2x+5
