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.

Calculate the expected value E(X) of the given random variable X. X is the higher number when two dice are rolled, or the common
Sati [7]

Answer:

4.4722

Step-by-step explanation:

The following table shows the 36 elements of the sample space of the experiment

\left[\begin{array}{cccccccc}&1&2&3&4&5&6\\--&--&--&--&--&--&--\\1\;|&1&2&3&4&5&6\\2\;|&2&2&3&4&5&6\\3\;|&3&3&3&4&5&6\\4\;|&4&4&4&4&5&6\\5\;|&5&5&5&5&5&6\\6\;|&6&6&6&6&6&6\end{array}\right]

From this table we can compute the probabilities :

P(X = 1) = 1/36

P(X = 2) = 3/36

P(X = 3) = 5/36

P(X = 4) = 7/36

P(X = 5) = 9/36

P(X = 6) = 11/36

So the expected value equals

1P(X=1)+2P(X=2)+3P(X=3)+4P(X=4)+5P(X=5)+6P(X=6) =

= 1/36 + 6/36 + 15/36 + 28/36 + 45/36 + 66/36 = 161/36 =

Sara has some fish, 2 birds, and 5 hamsters. She has 6 fewer hamsters than fish.
Gnoma [55]
There are 5 hamsters. If she has 6 fewer hamsters than fish, that means x-6=5
which means 5+6=11 so there are 11 fish.

The diameter of a circle is 13 cm. What is the radius of the circle?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The Radius is 6.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the diameter of a circle is a line that begins on one point of a circle and ends on the opposite side. We also know that the radius is a point on the circle that starts from that point and ends at the center. Therefore, the radius would be half the diameter.

13/2 = 6.5

Hope this helped :D!
