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

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Red ball

Event B: From box A.

Probability of a red ball:

3/10 = 0.3 of 1/2 = 0.5(box A)

6/10 = 0.6 of 1/2 = 0.5(box B). So

P(A) = 0.3*0.5 + 0.6*0.5 = 0.45

Probability of a red ball from box A:

0.3 of 0.5, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.5 = 0.15

What is the probability that this red ball is from box A?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.45} = 0.3333

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

A biker moves 2.5 times faster than a walker. They started moving simultaneously in the same direction from the same point. In t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The speed of the biker is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you call the speed of the walker x, and the speed of the biker 2.5x.

Then you know that speed times time equals distance, so you set up and equation. You do x times 2, which is 2x, and then 2.5x times 2, which is 5x. Then, since the distance between them is 18 miles, the equation would be 5x-2x=18. You would get 3x=18, and x is 6. So 6 is the speed of the walker, and 6 times 2.5 = 15, so the speed of the biker is 15.

What is the missing numerator? blank over five plus eighteen over twenty equals thirty over twenty 8 5 3 2
Oliga [24]

Given:

\dfrac{?}{5}+\dfrac{18}{20}=\dfrac{30}{20}

To find:

The missing value.

Solution:

Let x be the missing value.

We have,

\dfrac{x}{5}+\dfrac{18}{20}=\dfrac{30}{20}

\dfrac{x}{5}+\dfrac{9}{10}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Subtract \dfrac{9}{10} from both sides.

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{3}{2}-\dfrac{9}{10}

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{15-9}{10}

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{6}{10}

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{3}{5}

Multiplying both sides by 5, we get

x=3

So, the missing value is 3.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
