Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = sum of terms/number of terms

The mean of the given sample is

(8 + 9 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 16 + 17 + 20 + 21)/9 = 14.2

a)

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

Where

n represents the number of samples

It becomes

14.2 ± 1.96 × 2.8/√9

= 14.2 ± 1.96 × 0.933

= 14.2 ± 1.83

The lower end of the confidence interval is 12.37

The upper end of the confidence interval is 16.03

b)

For a confidence level of 99%, the corresponding z value is 2.58

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

Where

n represents the number of samples

It becomes

14.2 ± 2.58 × 2.8/√9

= 14.2 ± 2.58 × 0.933

= 14.2 ± 2.4

The lower end of the confidence interval is 11.8

The upper end of the confidence interval is 16.6

PLS HELP RN <br> $4000 student loan. 10% compound interest annually. Total loan amount by 4 years?
ddd [48]

Answer:

$2,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We get 10% of 4,000 by dividing 4,000 by 10.

4,000 ÷ 10 = 400

To get the amount that 4,000 is subtracted by we multiply 400 by 4.

400 × 4 = 1,600

To get the answer we subtract 4,000 by 1,600.

4,000 - 1,600 = 2,400

Hope I helped!
