In an effort to estimate the mean dollars spent per visit by customers of a food store, the manager has selected a random sample

of 100 cash register receipts. The mean of these was $45.67 with a sample standard deviation equal to $12.30. Assuming that he wants to develop a 90 percent confidence interval estimate, the upper limit of the confidence interval estimate is: Question 47 options: about $47.69 about $2.02 approximately $65.90 None of the above

Answer:

45.67-1.66\frac{12.30}{\sqrt{100}}=43.63    

45.67+1.66\frac{12.30}{\sqrt{100}}=47.69    

And the best answer for this case would be:

About $47.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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 means 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.

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".

\bar X=45.67 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=12.3 represent the sample standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=100-1=99

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 value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,99)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=1.66

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

45.67-1.66\frac{12.30}{\sqrt{100}}=43.63    

45.67+1.66\frac{12.30}{\sqrt{100}}=47.69    

And the best answer for this case would be:

About $47.69

Graph the set of points. which model is most appropriate for the set? (-6, -1)(-3, 2)(-1,4)(2,7)
lianna [129]
For this case, the first thing to do is to graph the following ordered pairs:
 (-6, -1)
 (-3, 2)
 (-1,4)
 (2,7)
 We observe that the graph is a linear function with the following equation:
 y = x + 5
 Note: see attached image.
 Answer:
 
The function that best represents the ordered pairs is:
 
y = x + 5

8 multiplied by 3/4 divided by 3/3
bezimeni [28]
8 * 3/4

Multiply 8 by 4 to get 32 then divide 32 by 3 to get 3.6 repeating

3/3 is basically 1 so its still 3.6 

3.6 is  3 3/5
