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%.

Complementary and Supplementary Angles
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Complementary (adds up to 90°)

2. Neither

3. Supplementary (ads up to 180°)

4. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

22 + 4x = 90

Subtract 22 from both sides

4x = 68

Divide both sides by 4

x = 17

5. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

65 + x + 2 = 90

x + 67 = 90

Subtract both sides 67

x = 23

6. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

43 + x - 7 = 90

x + 36 = 90

Subtract both sides by 36

x = 54

7. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

29 + x - 5 = 180

x + 24 = 180

Subtract both sides by 24

x = 156

8. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

110 + 7x = 180

Subtract both sides by 110

7x = 70

Divide both sides by 7

x = 10

9. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

72 + x + 4 = 180

x + 76 = 180

Subtract both sides by 76

x = 104

10. Adds up to 90° since its complementary

49 + x + 3 = 90

x + 52 = 90

Subtract both sides by 52

x = 38

11. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

92 + x + 78 = 180

x + 170 = 180

Subtract both sides by 170

x = 10

12. Adds up to 180° since its supplementary

19 + x - 50 = 180

x - 31 = 180

Add 31 to both sides

x = 211

13. Supplementary angles add up to 180°

∠C + ∠D = 180

∠C + 45 = 180

Subtract both sides by 45

∠C = 135°
