Question

Now use technology and use the cumulative probability​ 0.95, the mean muequals10.5​, and the standard deviation sigmaequals4.10 to determine the value for x0​, rounding to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer:

18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the following values

Cumulative probability ( confidence interval) = 0.95 = 95%

Mean = 10.5

Standard deviation = 4.10

We are asked to find the value of x.

To solve for x , we would be using the z score formula.

z score = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation

z score was not given in the question, but we have our cumulative probability as 95%(0.95).

Using the appropriate table,

the z score for 95% confidence is z = 1.96.

Therefore,

z score = (x-μ)/σ,

1.96 = x - 10.5/4.10

Cross multiply

1.96×4.10 = x - 10.5

x = (1.96 × 4.10) + 10.5

x = 8.036 + 10.5

x = 18.536

Approximately to 1 decimal place

x = 18.5
