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].

Tamara wants to find the distance from (2, –10) to other points. For which points in the same quadrant as (2, –10) could Tamara
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

(2,-2)

(10,-10)

(2,-9)

(7,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point is (2,-10)

This point is in the fourth quadrant.

To be able to use the number line to find the distance between this point , (2,-10) and another point in the fourth quadrant, the second point must have the same x-coordinate with this point or the same y-coordinate with this point.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

it would be 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: Every 5 minutes on a clock there is a big number, and there are 12 of those. 360/12 is 30 degrees, so every hour, the hour hand moves 30 degrees.
