Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (56.604;68.596)

The 99% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (53.196;72.004)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

When we compute a confidence interval for the mean, we are interested on the parameter population mean, and we use the info from the sample to estimate this parameter.

2) Basic operations

The sample mean can be calculated with the following formula

$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$

Using excel we can use this function to calculate the mean:

=AVERAGE(54.2,59.8,61.8,63.3,65.1,71.4)

The value obtained is $\bar X=62.6$

In order to find the sample deviation we can use this formula

$s=\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(x_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And using excel we can use this function to calculate the sample standard deviation:

=STDEV.S(54.2,59.8,61.8,63.3,65.1,71.4)

The value obtained is $s=5.713$

The sample size for this case is n=6, n<30 so then is better use the t distribution to calculate the margin of error. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case $df=n-1=6-1=5$

The formula for the confidence interval would be given by:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

3) Part a

If we want a 95% or 0.95 of confidence, then the value for the signficance is $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ , and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , and $1-\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.975$ so we can find the critical t value with the following formula in excel:

=T.INV(0.975,5)

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}= 2.571$

And we can replace into equation (1) and we got:

$62.6 \pm 2.571\frac{5.713}{\sqrt{6}}$

And using excel with the following formulas we got:

=62.6-2.571*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 56.604

=62.6+2.571*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 68.596

So the 95% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (56.604;68.596)

4) Part b

If we want a 99% or 0.99 of confidence, then the value for the signficance is $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ , and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , and $1-\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.995$ so we can find the critical t value with the following formula in excel:

=T.INV(0.995,5)

And we got $t_{\alpha/2}= 4.032$

And we can replace into equation (1) and we got:

$62.6 \pm 4.032\frac{5.713}{\sqrt{6}}$

And using excel with the following formulas we got:

=62.6-4.032*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 53.196

=62.6+4.032*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 72.004

So the 99% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (53.196;72.004)

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: G ∩ M = {Anael, Max}

G U S = {Acel, Acton, Anael, Barek, Carl, Carlin, Dario, Kai, Max}

Step-by-step explanation:

intersection ∩ - items found in BOTH sets

union U - the joining of the sets. include EVERYTHING in the sets.

G = (Acel, Acton, Anael, Carl, Dario, Max}

S = {Anael, Barek, Bay, Carlin, Kai, Max}

G ∩ S: Anael and Max are found in both sets

G = (Acel, Acton, Anael, Carl, Dario, Max}

S = {Acton, Anael, Barek, Carlin, Dario, Kai}

G U S: include everything in G and everything in S. If found in both sets, only list it once.

G U S = {Acel, Acton, Anael, Barek, Carl, Carlin, Dario, Kai, Max}

Notice that Acton and Anael are in both sets but we only list them once.

What is the slope below

raketka [301]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope by change in y of change in x

change in y

---------------------

change in x

The y changes -3 ( goes down 3)

the x changes +3 ( to the right 3)

-3

----

3

This simplifies to -1

Patty's Pies made 2 peach pies using 10 cups of peaches. They made 3 pies using 15 cups of peaches and 4 pies using 20 cups of p

olganol [36]

2 peach pies = 10 cups 10 divided by 2(peach pies) = 5 cups per pie.
so we need to make 9 pies. so now basic math 9x5= 45, so 45 cups for 9 peach pies.
