The 99% confidence interval is from to_____________.
(d) Describe how the intervals change as you increase the confidence level.

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval formula is:

I (1-alpha) (μ)= mean+- [(Z(alpha/2))* σ/sqrt(n)]

alpha= is the proposition of the distribution tails that are outside the confidence interval. In this case, 10% because 100-90%

σ= standard deviation. In this case 5

mean= 37

n= number of observations. In this case, 15

(a)

Z(alpha/2)= is the critical value of the standardized normal distribution. The critical valu for z(5%) is 1.645

Then, the confidence interval (90%):

I 90%(μ)= 37+- [1.645*(5/sqrt(15))]

I 90%(μ)= 37+- [2.1236]

I 90%(μ)= [37-2.1236;37+2.1236]

I 90%(μ)= [34.8764;39.1236]

(b)

Z(alpha/2)= Z(2.5%)= 1.96

Then, the confidence interval (90%):

I 95%(μ)= 37+- [1.96*(5/sqrt(15)) ]

I 95%(μ)= 37+- [2.5303]

I 95%(μ)= [37-2.5303;37+2.5303]

I 95%(μ)= [34.4697;39.5203]

(c)

Z(alpha/2)= Z(0.5%)= 2.5758

Then, the confidence interval (90%):

I 99%(μ)= 37+- [2.5758*(5/sqrt(15))

I 99%(μ)= 37+- [3.3253]

I 99%(μ)= [37-3.3253;37+3.3253]

I 99%(μ)= [33.6747;39.3253]

(d)

C. The interval gets wider as the confidence level increases.

The sum of two numbers is 92 their difference is 20 find the numbers
Ira Lisetskai [31]
92 - 20 = 72
72 / 2 = 36
36 + 20 = 56 
36 + 56 = 92

So 36 and 56 are your answer
