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%.

In the equation below, solve for y: 2x+5y=12
Liula [17]

Answer:

y = \frac{12-2x}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x + 5y = 12

Isolate the term in y by subtracting 2x from both sides

5y = 12 - 2x ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = \frac{12-2x}{5}

 (6 pts) The average age of CEOs is 56 years. Assume the variable is normally distributed. If the SD is four years, find the pr
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The probability that the age of a randomly selected CEO will be between 50 and 55 years old is 0.334.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a normal distribution with mean=56 years and s.d.=4 years.

We have to calculate the probability that a randomly selected CEO have an age between 50 and 55.

We have to calculate the z-value for 50 and 55.

For x=50:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{50-56}{4}=\frac{-6}{4}=   -1.5

For x=55:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{55-56}{4}=\frac{-1}{4}=-0.25

The probability of being between 50 and 55 years is equal to the difference between the probability of being under 55 years and the probability of being under 50 years:

P(50

Solve the inequality and graph the solution<br> 4x-5&gt;7
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x > 3

interval notation: (3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality statement: 4x - 5 > 7,

The goal is to isolate x and find its solution.

Start by adding 5 to both sides:

4x - 5 + 5 > 7 + 5

4x > 12

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 > 12/4

x > 3

The solution can also be expressed in the following interval notation:

(3, ∞).

In terms of graphing, it involves an empty circle on the endpoint, x = 3, as it is not included as a solution. The solution to the given inequality statement must be greater than 3.
