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)

If y has moment-generating function m(t) = e 6(e t −1) , what is p(|y − µ| ≤ 2σ)?
Lostsunrise [7]
Since \mathrm M_Y(t)=e^{6(e^t-1}, we know that Y follows a Poisson distribution with parameter \lambda=6.

Now assuming \mu,\sigma denote the mean and standard deviation of Y, respectively, then we know right away that \mu=6 and \sigma=\sqrt6.

So,

\mathbb P(|Y-\mu|\le2\sigma)=\mathbb P(6-2\sqrt6\le Y\le6+2\sqrt6)=\dfrac{66366}{175e^6}\approx0.940028

What type of reaction is shown below? Check all that apply. 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl synthesis decomposition combustion
const2013 [10]

Answer: This is a type of Synthesis reaction.

Explanation:

  • Synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a single substance.

A+B\rightarrow AB

  • Decomposition reactions are a type of chemical reactions in which a substance breaks down into two or more substances.

AB\rightarrow A+B

  • Combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Hydrocarbon+O_2\rightarrow H_2O+CO_2

For the given reaction:

2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl

Here, 2 substances are combining together to form a single substance. Hence, it is considered as a synthesis reaction.
