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 pair of shoes cost $120 but they are 25% Off;
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Discount = $30, Final price = $90

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is one quarter. 120/4=30

One quarter of 120 is 30, so - 30 would give discounted price of $90.

Similarly you could think of it like the discounted price is 75% of the original one and do 120x0.75=90 to find 75% of 120.

Hope this helped!

A coin is tossed 11 times. a) How many different outcomes are possible? b) How many different outcomes have exactly 8 heads? c)
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a) 2048

b)164

c)54

d) 11

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A coin has two faces.

Outcome possible =2^11= 2048

b) 8 heads possible outcome = 11!/8!3! = 3971688/241/920= 164 ways

c)2 heads outcome= 11!/2!8!= 39716800/725760=54

d) 7 heads= 11!/7!6! =39716800/3628800 = 11

Sonia is hanging up decorations in the ratio of 3red: 2green: 4white . If she hangs up 135 decorations in total , how many of ea
klasskru [66]

Answer:

She hung 45reds, 30greens and 60whites

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sonia is hanging up decorations in the ratio of 3red: 2green: 4white, the total amount of different she hung is 3+2+4 = 9different colours.

Of she hung 135decorations in total, the number of red = 3/9 × 135 = 45reds

Number of green = 2/9 × 135 = 30greens

Numbe of white = 4/9 × 135= 60whites

She hung 45reds, 30greens and 60whites
