A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at th

e beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 6 students' scores on the exam after completing the course:23,18,23,12,13,23Using these data, construct a 80% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal.

Answer:

Interval [16.34 , 21.43]

Step-by-step explanation:

First step. <u>Calculate the mean</u>

\bar X=\frac{(23+18+23+12+13+23)}{6}=18.666

Second step. <u>Calculate the standard deviation</u>

\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{(23-18.666)^2+(18-18.666)^2+(23-18.666)^2+(12-18.666)^2+(13-18.666)^2+(23-18.666)^2}{6}}

\sigma=\sqrt\frac{18.783+0.443+18.783+44.435+5.666+18.783}{6}

\sigma=\sqrt{17.815}=4.22

As the number of data is less than 30, we must use the t-table to find the interval of confidence.

We have 6 observations, our level of confidence DF is then 6-1=5 and we want our area A to be 80% (0.08).  

We must then choose t = 1.476 (see attachment)

Now, we use the formula that gives us the end points of the required interval

\bar X \pm t\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}

where n is the number of observations.

The extremes of the interval are then, rounded to the nearest hundreth, 16.34 and 21.43

Harold, a marina manager, purchased two boats. He then sold the boats, the first
zaharov [31]

Harold paid $ 16,632 and $ 38,808 for each of the boats.

Since Harold, a marina manager, purchased two boats, and he then sold the boats, the first at a profit of 40% and the second at a profit of 60%, and the total profit on the sale of the two boats was 54 % and $ 88 704 was the total selling price of the two boat, to determine what did Harold originally pay for each of the two boats the following calculation must be performed:

  • 55 x 0.6 + 45 x 0.4 = 51
  • 65 x 0.6 + 35 x 0.4 = 53
  • 70 x 0.6 + 35 x 0.4 = 54

  • 88,704 x 0.7 = 62,092.80
  • 160 = 62,092.80
  • 100 = X
  • 100 x 62,092.80 / 160 = X
  • 38.808 = X

  • 88,704 x 0.3 = 26,611.20
  • 140 = 26,611.20
  • 100 = X
  • 100 x 26,611.20 / 160 = X
  • 16,632 = X

Therefore, Harold paid $ 16,632 and $ 38,808 for each of the boats.
