A simple random sample from a population with a normal distribution of 98 body temperatures has x =98.90 °F and s =0.68°F. Const

ruct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of body temperature of all healthy humans. Is it safe to conclude that the population standard deviation is less than 1.40°F​?
_____°F


Is it safe to conclude that the population standard deviation is less than 1.40°F​?


A. This conclusion is not safe because 1.40 °F is in the confidence interval.


B. This conclusion is safe because 1.40 °F is in the confidence interval.


C. This conclusion is not safe because 1.40°F is outside the confidence interval.


D. This conclusion is safe because 1.40 °F is outside the confidence interval.

Answer:

0.609 \leq \sigma \leq 0.772  

And the best conclusion would be:

D. This conclusion is safe because 1.40 °F is outside the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

s=0.68 represent the sample standard deviation  

\bar x =98.90 represent the sample mean  

n=98 the sample size  

Confidence=90% or 0.90  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .  

2) Calculating the confidence interval  

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:  

\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}  

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=98-1=97  

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical values.  

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.05,97)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.95,97)". so for this case the critical values are:  

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=120.990  

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=75.282  

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:  

\frac{(97)(0.68)^2}{120.990} \leq \sigma \leq \frac{(97)(0.68)^2}{75.282}  

0.371 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 0.596  

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:  

0.609 \leq \sigma \leq 0.772  

And the best conclusion would be:

D. This conclusion is safe because 1.40 °F is outside the confidence interval.

Anyone wanna help me out
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

58.91m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(smaller triangle below)

A=\frac{ab}{2}\\ =\frac{8.6*5.5}{2}\\ =23.65m^2\\\\A=\frac{ab}{2}\\ =\frac{8.6*8.2}{2} \\=35.26m^2

(bigger triangle above)

Since you have both triangle, and all lengths you dont need to worry about calculating the square

Add both together

23.65+35.26\\=58.91m^2
