A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of 60 funds' returns shows an average rate of 12%. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 4%, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the annual return on all mutual funds is

A. 0.037773 to 0.202227

B. 3.7773% to 20.2227%

C. 59.98786% to 61.01214%

D. 51.7773% to 68.2227%

E. 10.988% to 13.012%

Answer: E. 10.988% to 13.012%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Mean x= 12%

Standard deviation r = 4%

Number of samples tested n = 60

Confidence interval is 95%

Z' = t(0.025)= 1.96

Confidence interval = x +/- Z'(r/√n)

= 12% +/- 1.96(4%/√60)

= 12% +/- 0.01214%

Confidence interval= (10.988% to 13.012%)

Which situation could NOT represent a proportional relationship?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The weight in x weeks of a puppy that gains 2 pounds per week if it starting weight is 8 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A proportional relationship is one in which one variable varies directly with the other. Let the dependent variable be y and independent variable be y.

If y is directly proportional to x, then,

y=kx, where, k is a constant of proportionality.

Now, let us check each option and try to express a relationship between them.

Option 1:

The weight in x weeks of a puppy that gains 2 pounds per week if it starting weight is 8 pounds.

Let the weight be represented by W. Initial weight is 8 pounds.

Weight gain per week is 2 pounds. So, weight gain in x weeks is 2x.

Therefore, total weight is, W=8+2x

This is a linear relationship but not a proportional relationship as it is not of the form y=kx. So, option 1 could NOT represent a proportional relationship.

Option 2:

Cost of purchasing 1 pound of bananas is $ 0.55. So, cost of purchasing p pounds of bananas will be C=0.55p. It is of the form y=kx. So, it represents a proportional relationship.

Option 3:

Number of gallons of water in 1 barrel is 50. So, number of gallons in x barrels will be N=50x. It is of the form y=kx. So, it represents a proportional relationship.

Option 4:

Amount earned by an employee in 1 hour is $ 9.25. So, amount earned in h hours will be A=9.25h. It is of the form y=kx. So, it represents a proportional relationship.
