Answer:

You would use B. 1239 times .0625

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the computer costs 1239. Since percent means 'per hundred' you first need to convert percent into decimals. You would divide 6.25 by 100, giving you .0625. Multiplying the computer price and this decimal will give you the discount price.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

And for this case the 95% confidence interval is given by (2.13; 2.37)

We have a point of estimate for the sample mean with this formula:

$\bar X = \frac{Upper+ Lower}{2}= \frac{3.37+2.13}{2}= 2.75$

And for the margin of error we have the following estimation:

$ME= \frac{Upper -Lower}{2}= \frac{3.37-2.13}{2}= 0.62$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean
