The proprietor of a boutique in New York wanted to determine the average age of his customers. A random sample of 25 customers r

evealed an average age of 28 years with a standard deviation of 10 years. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the average all of all his customers. Specifically provide the lower limit and upper limit of the confidence interval to one decimal.

Answer:

28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872    

28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)  

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=28 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=10 represent the sample standard deviation

n=25 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=25-1=24

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,24)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.064

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

28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872    

28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)

What is the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8
Charra [1.4K]
If you would like to find the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 1/4 = 9/4

2 1/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 * 8/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5

The correct result would be 3 3/5.

It’s a right angle! which equals to 90° you already have 20° and 8° so you add them together and you get 28. now you have to subtract 90-28 which equals to 62.

Camilo compró un auto usado en $6,000.000y aceptó pagar $1,000.000 al contado y $1,000.000 al mes con interés del 6% anual sobre
Korolek [52]

Answer:

El pago total que hará Camilo es $6,150,000

Step-by-step explanation:

La cantidad que Camilo compró el auto usado = $6,000,000

La cantidad que Camilo acordó pagar en efectivo = $1,000,000

La cantidad que pagará Camilo en un mes = $1,000,000

El interés sobre el saldo impago = 6%

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El interés sobre el saldo en un año = 6/100 × 5,000,000 = 300,000

El interés por mes = 300.000 / 12 = 25.000

La cantidad de meses que Camilo paga el saldo de 5,000,000 a 1,000,000 por mes = 5,000,000 / 1,000,000 mes = 5 meses

El momento en que paga el saldo restante = El sexto mes

La cantidad de interés pagado en los seis meses = 25,000 × 6 = 150,000

El pago total que hará Camilo, A = 6,000,000 + 150,000 = 6,150,000

El pago total que hará Camilo, A = $6,150,000
