Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is between 61.5 and 68.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{14}{\sqrt{60}} = 3.5

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 65 - 3.5 = 61.5

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 65 + 3.5 = 68.5

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is between 61.5 and 68.5.

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the population mean is  [61.5 , 68.5].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 60 items resulted in a sample mean of 65. The population standard deviation is 14.

So, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the average age is given by;

            P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean = 65

           \sigma = population standard deviation = 14

           n = sample of items = 60

           \mu = population mean

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 196) = 0.95

P(-1.96 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } < {\bar X - \mu} < 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X - 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < \bar X + 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for \mu = [ \bar X - 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } , \bar X + 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                                 = [ 65 - 1.96 \times {\frac{14}{\sqrt{60} } , 65 + 1.96 \times {\frac{14}{\sqrt{60} } ]

                                                 = [61.5 , 68.5]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the population mean is [61.5 , 68.5].

Step-by-step explanation:

JK * 3/4 = J'K'
JK * 3/4 = 13.5
JK = 13.5 : 3/4
JK = 13.5*4/3
JK = 18

Draw the graph of f(x) = (x − 1)2 − 2. Start by creating a table of ordered pairs for the function. Then plot the points from th
pogonyaev

The attached graph represents the graph of f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 2

<h3>How to plot the graph?</h3>

The equation is given as:

f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 2

Next, we set x to -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2.

So, we have:

f(-2) = (-2 - 1)^2 - 2 = 7

f(-1) = (-1 - 1)^2 - 2 = 2

f(0) = (0 - 1)^2 - 2 = -1

f(1) = (1 - 1)^2 - 2 = -2

f(2) = (2 - 1)^2 - 2 = -1

This means that the table of values is

x      f(x)

-2    7

-1    2

0    -1

1     -2

2    -1

Next, we plot the above points and connect them.

See attachment for the graph of f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 2
