Question:

You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the​ 90% and​ 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If​ convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals. A random sample of 45 home theater systems has a mean price of ​$114.00. Assume the population standard deviation is ​$15.30. Construct a​ 90% confidence interval for the population mean.

Answer:

At the 90% confidence level, confidence interval = 110.2484 < μ < 117.7516

At the 95% confidence level, confidence interval = 109.53 < μ < 118.48

The 95% confidence interval is wider

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have

Sample size, n = 45

Sample mean, \bar x = $114.00

Population standard deviation, σ = $15.30

The formula for Confidence Interval, CI is given by the following relation;

CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where, z is found for the 90% confidence level as ±1.645

Plugging in the values, we have;

CI=114\pm 1.645 \times \frac{15.3}{\sqrt{45}}

or CI: 110.2484 < μ < 117.7516

At 95% confidence level, we have our z value given as z = ±1.96

From which we have CI=114\pm 1.96 \times \frac{15.3}{\sqrt{45}}

Hence CI: 109.53 < μ < 118.48

To find the wider interval, we subtract their minimum from the maximum as follows;

90% Confidence level: 117.7516 - 110.2484 = 7.5

95% Confidence level: 118.47503 - 109.5297 = 8.94

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is wider.

Answer:

B. is the correct option.

With 90% the population mean price is

in lies in (127.01,134.99). With 95% confidence, it can be said that the population mean price lies in ( 126.24,135.76)

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is wider than 90%.

Eli had $10 but he lost some of it. He mom doubled the money he had left. Eli wrote the expression 2(10-k) how much money he has
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first expression:

2(10-k): where,

2:shows the double amount of money which ELI has

10:shows the amount of money which ELI had at the starting.

k:shows the amount of money which is lost.

10-k:shows the amount of money which ELI has after losing some amount.

According to the second expression:

20-2k where,

20:shows the twice of initial amount.

k: is the amount of money which is lost

2k:s hows the twice of amount which is lost

20-2k: shows the amount of money which is left with ELI after his mom gave him some money....

A function assigns the values. The value of (p·p)(x) is x⁴ + 10x³ + 30x² + 25x.

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

Given p(x)= x²+5x, therefore, the value of (p·p)(x) can be written as,

(p·p)(x) = p(p(x))

            = (x²+5x)²+5(x²+5x)

            = x⁴ + 25x² + 10x³ + 5x² + 25x

            = x⁴ + 10x³ + 30x² + 25x

Hence, the value of (p·p)(x) is x⁴ + 10x³ + 30x² + 25x.
