Answer:

You keep them if you test 3 and all pass.

There are 18 good ones and 6 bad (making 24)

Chance of first passing is 18/24

If it passes, there are now one less good and one less total.

Chance of second passing is 17/23

If it passes, there are now one less good and one less total.

Chance of second passing is 16/22

Total is (16 x 17 x 18) / (22 x 23 x 24) = about 0.4 (0.403162055 is you really want to know).

So probability all are ok is 0.4

Thus probability you find at least one bad one is 0.6

Hope this helps you out!

Use the standard norml distribution or the t-distribution to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Justif
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

E) we will use t- distribution because is un-known,n<30

the confidence interval is (0.0338,0.0392)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step:-1</u>

Given sample size is n = 23<30 mortgage institutions

The mean interest rate 'x' = 0.0365

The standard deviation 'S' = 0.0046

the degree of freedom = n-1 = 23-1=22

99% of confidence intervals t_{0.01} =2.82  (from tabulated value).

The mean value = 0.0365

x±t_{0.01} \frac{S}{\sqrt{n-1} }

0.0365±2.82 \frac{0.0046}{\sqrt{23-1} }

0.0365±2.82 \frac{0.0046}{\sqrt{22} }

0.0365±2.82 \frac{0.0046}{4.690 }

using calculator

0.0365±0.00276

Confidence interval is

(0.0365-0.00276,0.0365+0.00276)

(0.0338,0.0392)

the mean value is lies between in this confidence interval

(0.0338,0.0392).

<u>Answer:-</u>

<u>using t- distribution because is unknown,n<30,and the interest rates are not normally distributed.</u>
