In a random sample of 8 ​people, the mean commute time to work was 33.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.2 minutes. A 95

​% confidence interval using the​ t-distribution was calculated to be (27.5 comma 39.5 ). After researching commute times to​ work, it was found that the population standard deviation is 9.5 minutes. Find the margin of error and construct a 95​% confidence interval using the standard normal distribution with the appropriate calculations for a standard deviation that is known. Compare the results.

Answer: Margin of error = 6.58

Confidence interval =  (26.91, 40.08)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sample size n = 8

Sample mean = 33.5 minutes

Population standard deviation = 9.5 minutes

At 95% confidence interval,

α = 0.05

t = 1.96

So, Margin of error is given by

t\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{9.5}{\sqrt{8}}\\\\=6.58

Confidence interval would be

Lower limit:

\bar{x}-6.58\\\\=33.5-6.58\\\\=26.91

Upper limit:

\bar{x}+6.58\\\\=33.5+6.58\\\\=40.08

Hence, the interval would be (26.91, 40.08)

But at standard deviation 7.2 minutes, the confidence interval was (27.5, 39.5)

Confidence interval using the standard normal distribution is wider than the confidence interval using t distribution.

Answer:

In the equation, it divides 21 by x before knowing what x is, and gets it incorrect. Instead, you need to divide 21 by -4.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-4.2x = 21

-------------

    -4.2

   

x = -5

Complete this table to show the sample space for each roll in the game
leva [86]

I'm assuming you only need help with part B. If that's the case, then all we do is add up the values outside of the table to get the inner cell results. For example, in row 1, column 1, we have 1's outside. They add to 1+1 = 2. So we'll have 2 in the first row and first column of the table. The other cells are computed in this way. In figure 1 (see attached image), I show the intermediate step of adding. Then in figure 2, I actually add up the values and show the final result of what the table will look like when all said and done. Take note of the color coding to help see how the values match up for each inner cell of the table. The color coding is optional.

Edit: 

Part C -- Part 1) Probability of rolling double sixes


There are five copies of "6" in the table (see figure 2 of the attached image) out of 36 total possibilities. How did I get 36? It's the result of multiplying 6*6. This is because there are 6 faces per die. As the table shows, there are 6 rows and 6 columns giving 36 cells total.


So we divide the number of times "6" shows up (5 times) out of the number of total possibilities (36 total) to get: 5/36 = 0.1389 = 13.89%


Answer as a fraction: 5/36

Answer as a decimal: 0.1389

Answer as a percent: 13.89%

The decimal and percent forms are approximate

---------------------------------------------


Part C -- Part 2) Probability of rolling doubles


To roll doubles, all we need to do is roll the same number twice on each die. In other words, we have "twin values" so to speak. Back in part 1 above, we dealt with just '6's showing up twice. There are other doubles as well


The doubles possibilities are: 

1 and 1

2 and 2

3 and 3

4 and 4

5 and 5

6 and 6


Each combo listed above only shows up once. So we have 6 instances where we have doubles (one instance per side of the die). This is out of 36 total


Divide the values mentioned: 6/36 = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%


Answer as a fraction: 1/6

Answer as a decimal: 0.1667

<span>Answer as a percent: 16.67%</span>
