Families USA, a monthly magazine that discusses issues related to health and health costs, surveyed 20 of its subscribers. It fo

und that the annual health insurance premiums for a family with coverage through an employer averaged $10,979. The standard deviation of the sample was $1,000.
a. Based on this sample information, develop a 90 percent confidence interval for the population mean yearly premium.

Given Information:

Standard deviation = σ = $1000

Mean = μ = $10,979

Confidence level = 90%

Margin of error = $250

Sample size = n = 20

Required Information:

a) 90%  confidence interval = ?

b) Sample size at 99% confidence = n = ?

Answer:

a) 90%  confidence interval =  ($10,611.17, $11,346.83)

b) Sample size at 99% confidence = n = 107

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The confidence interval is given by

confidence interval = μ ± z*σ/√n

Where μ is the mean annual health insurance premium, σ is the standard deviation, n is number of subscribers that were surveyed, and z is the corresponding z-score for 90% confidence level.

The z-score for 90% confidence level is 1.645

Confidence interval = 10,979 ± (1.645*1000)/√20

Confidence interval = 10,979 ± 367.83

upper limit = 10,979 + 367.83 = 11,346.83

lower limit = 10,979 - 367.83 = 10,611.17

Confidence interval = ($10,611.17, $11,346.83)

Which means that we are 90% confident that the annual health insurance premiums for a family with coverage through an employer is between  ($10,611.17, $11,346.83)

b) To find the required sample size

Me = z*(σ/√n)

√n = z*σ/Me

n = (z*σ/Me)²

Where z is the corresponding z-score, n is the required sample size σ is the standard deviation and Me is the margin of error that is $250

The z-score for 99% confidence level is 2.576

n = (2.576*1000/250)²

n = 106.17

n = 107

Therefore, a sample size of 107 is needed to find the population mean within $250 at 99% confidence.

Can someone help me with these two questions?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

17) A(-1,1) B(-1,4) C(5,1)

18) (From origin moving rightwards)

     A(0,0) B(a, 0) C(a,a) D(0,a)

Step-by-step explanation:

17) You just count the steps, how many steps left, right, up, or down

18) The first point is at the origin, so 0,0

    The second point that lies on the x axis is (a,0) as it is a distance from the origin, 0 because it's on the x-axis.

     The third point is (a,a) because it is a distance to the right of the origin AND a distance upwards from the x axis.

      The fourth point (0,a) because it is on the vertical line (0) and is a distance above the origin.

If logx √2 = 1/6<br> , then x =?
Kaylis [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

logx√2=1/6

<=> logx(2^1/2)=1/6

<=>1/2.logx(2)=1/6

<=>logx(2)=1/3

<=>2=x^1/3

<=>x=
