Answer:

Margin of error = 1.9 ≅2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number of inches of rainfall each year in a city is normally distributed.

For a random sample of years, the confidence interval (3.9,7.7) is generated

We know that the confidence intervals of margin of error is defined by

x⁻ ± margin of error

x⁻ ± M.E

Given the confidence intervals are (3.9 ,7.7)

Equating  lower limit  x⁻ -M.E = 3.9  …(i)

Equating  upper limit  x⁻ +M.E = 7.7 … (ii)

adding The equations (i) and (ii) and simplification , we get

2x⁻ = 11.6

Dividing by '2' on both sides , we get

x⁻ = 5.8

This is the mean of the sample x⁻ = 5.8

now substitute mean value in equation (i)

x⁻ -M.E = 3.9

5.8 - Margin of error = 3.9

Margin of error = 5.8 - 3.9

Margin of error = 1.9 ≅2

<u>Conclusion:</u>-

Margin of error = 1.9 ≅2

<u>Verification:-</u>

In given data  lower imit x⁻ -M.E = 3.9

we know that x⁻ = 5.8 and margin of error =2

5.8 -1.9 =3.9

3.9=3.9

Courier charges for packages to a certain destination are 65 cents for the first 250 grams and 10 cents for each additional 100
lukranit [14]

Answer:

  1050 g < weight ≤ 1150 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the weight of the package in grams. The the number of 100-gram increments after the first 250 grams is given by ...

  ⌈(w-250)/100⌉ . . . . . . . where ⌈ ⌉ signifies the <em>ceiling</em> function

and the charges for a package exceeding 250 grams will be ...

  0.65 + 0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 1.55

  0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 0.90 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.65

  ⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.10

  8 < (w-250)/100 ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . meaning of ceiling function

  800 < w -250 ≤ 900 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100

  1050 < w ≤ 1150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 250

The weight in grams could be greater than 1050 and at most 1150 for a charge of $1.55.
