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.

If you know the area of a rectangle can you predict its perimeter? Explain
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

No.  The area doesn't tell you the dimensions, and you need
the dimensions if you want the perimeter.

If you know the area, you only know the <em><u>product</u></em> of the length and width,
but you don't know what either of them is.

In fact, you can draw an infinite number of <em><u>different</u></em> rectangles
that all have the <em>same</em> area but <em><u>different</u></em> perimeters.

Here.  Look at this.
I tell you that a rectangle's area is 256.  What is its perimeter ?

-- If the rectangle is 16 by 16, then its perimeter is 64 .
-- If the rectangle is 8 by 32, then its perimeter is 80 .
-- If the rectangle is 4 by 64, then its perimeter is 136 .
-- If the rectangle is 2 by 128, then its perimeter is 260 .
-- If the rectangle is 1 by 256, then its perimeter is 514 .
-- If the rectangle is 0.01 by 25,600 then its perimeter is 51,200.02
