Answer:

b = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(b-9) = 3

then:

2*b + 2*-9 = 3

2b - 18 = 3

2b = 3 + 18

2b = 21

b = 21/2

b = 10.5

check:

2(10.5 - 9) = 3

2*1.5 = 3

A random sample of size 100 was taken from a population. A 94% confidence interval to estimate the mean of the population was co

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: 1.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\mu\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Significance level : $1-0.94=0.06$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.06/2}=z_{0.03}$

By using the standard normal distribution table for z, we find the critical value of $z_{0.03}$ corresponds to the p-value 0.03.

$z_{0.03}=1.8807936\approx1.88$

Hence, the z-value that was used in the computation must be 1.88 .
