well since there are infinite numbers the probability is hard to solve. is there like a:

Answer:

C) 0.066...

Step-by-step explanation:

1/15 = 0.066...

You could eliminate B and C as 15 (numerator from question) is not a multiple of 10. You can eliminate A as the numerator of 15 from the question is larger than 10 and will result in a number less than 0.1.

Answer:

i) $2 - 1.64 \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{16}}= 1.959$

$2 + 1.64 \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{16}}= 2.041$

So then the 90% confidence interval is given by (1.959, 2.041)

ii) Figure attached

iii) $ME= 1.64 *\frac{0.1}{\sqrt{16}}= 0.041$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The confidence interval is given by this formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

And for a 90% of confidence the significance is given by $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ , and $\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.05$ . Since we know the population standard deviation we can calculate the critical value $z_{0.05}= \pm 1.64$
