A manager records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected stereos. A sample mean of $82.64 and standard deviation of $14.32 are

subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the stereos. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

CI = (70.861 , 94.418)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the 90% confidence interval you use the following formula (for a population approximately normal):

CI=(\overline{x}-Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},\overline{x}+Z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})    (1)

\overline{x}: mean = 82.64

σ: standard deviation = 14.32

n: sample = 4

α: tail area = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Z_α/2 = Z_0.05: Z factor =  1.645

You replace these values and you obtain:

Z_{0.05}(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=(1.645)(\frac{14.32}{\sqrt{4}})=11.778

The confidence interval will be:

CI=(82.64-11.778,82.64+11.778)=(70.861,94.418)

The 90% confidence interval is (70.861 , 94.418)

jonny [76]

Answer:

18.6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Best fit line from scatterplot :

y=-12.05x +224.26

x = Number of month

y = charge on battery

Number of months a typical battery uses before being dead completely :

When battery is dead completely ; charge =0, y = 0

y = -12.05x + 224.26

0 = - 12.05x + 224.26

12.05x = 224.26

x = 224.26 / 12.05

x = 18.610788

Hence, 18.6 months before battery is completely dead.

Rachel bought some buttons2/4 are yellow 2\8 are red which color button was more bought
Lesechka [4]
Rachel bought a collection of buttons.

2/4 of the buttons are yellow.  2/4 * 8 = 1/2 * 8 = 4 yellow buttons
2/8 of the buttons are red. 2/8 * 8 = 1/4 * 8 = 2 red buttons

Therefore, because we know that 4 of the buttons are yellow and 2 of the buttons are red, and we know that 4 > 2, we know that more yellow buttons were bought.
