A doctor is interested in people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication. She took a SRS of size 1

2 from the people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication and measured the calcium level in mmol/l in each individual. The sample mean is x = 2.87 mmol/l. Assume that the distribution of the calcium level of people with an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication is normally distributed with standard deviation of σ = 0.40.
(a) Calculate a 99% confidence interval for μ = the true mean calcium level of the population of people who experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication. Choose the answer closest to your answer.

(2.573, 3.167)(2.784, 2.956) (0.294, 5.446)(2.643, 3.096)We can't answer this question because we don't know the shape of the distribution of the sample mean.


(b) Which of the following is the best interpretation of the interval calculated above?

We are 99% confident that the average sample mean calcium level of all people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication is in the interval.There is a 99% probability that the average calcium level of all people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication is in the interval. We are 99% confident that the average calcium level of all people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication is in the interval.1% of the time the confidence interval doesnt contain x.None of the above.

Answer:

(a) (2.573, 3.167) is the 99% confidence interval for \mu the true mean calcium level of the population of people who experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication.

(b) There is a 99% probability that the average calcium level of all people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication is in the interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a random sample of size n from a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, then we know that \bar{X} is normally distributed with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma/n. Therefore we can use (\bar{X}-\mu)/\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} as a pivotal quantity.

We have a sample size of n = 12. The sample mean is \bar{x} = 2.87 mmol/l and the standard deviation is \sigma = 0.40. The confidence interval is given by \bar{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}) where z_{\alpha/2} is the \alpha/2th quantile of the standard normal distribution. As we want the 99% confidence interval, we have that \alpha = 0.01 and the confidence interval is 2.87\pm z_{0.005}(\frac{0.40}{\sqrt{12}}) where z_{0.005} is the 0.5th quantile of the standard normal distribution, i.e., z_{0.005} = -2.5758. Then, we have 2.87\pm (-2.5758)(\frac{0.40}{\sqrt{12}}) and the 99% confidence interval is given by (2.573, 3.167)

(b) We found a 99% confidence interval for the true mean calcium level of the population of people who experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication. Therefore, there is a 99% probability that the average calcium level of all people who have experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication is in the interval.

A catering service offers
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

There are 52920 ways to do the banquet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the combination to solve this problem

- A combination is a collection of the objects where the order

 doesn't matter

- The order is not important in this problem, so we can use the  

  combination nCr to find how many ways can this done

* Lets solve the problem

- A catering service offers 6 appetizers, 7 main courses, 10 desserts.

- A customer is to select 5  appetizers,  4  main courses, 5  desserts

 for a banquet

∵ We want to select  5  appetizers from 6

∴ There are 6C5 ways to chose the appetizers

∵ 6C5 = 6

∴ There are 6 ways to chose the appetizers

∵ We want to select  4  main courses from 7

∴ There are 7C4 ways to chose the main courses

∵ 7C4 = 35

∴ There are 35 ways to chose the main courses

∵ We want to select  5  desserts from 10

∴ There are 10C5 ways to chose the desserts

∵ 10C5 = 252

∴ There are 252 ways to chose the desserts

- To find the number of ways to do the banquet multiply all the

  answers above

∵ The total ways = 6C5 × 7C4 × 10C5

∴ The total ways = 6 × 35 × 252 = 52920

* There are 52920 ways to do the banquet

Explain how to find 27% of 16 using multiplication by
just olya [345]

Answer:

4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply 16 by 0.27 to get the answer.

16*0.27=4.32

You can check your work with estimation because 27% is about 1/4 of the number, and just by looking at the number, 4 is 1/4 of the number.
