You measure 49 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 54 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 11

.7 ounces. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight. Use z = 2 for calculations

Answer:

= ( 50.66, 57.34)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 54 ounces

Standard deviation r = 11.7 ounces

Number of samples n = 49

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 2

Substituting the values we have;

54+/-2(11.7/√49)

54+/-2(1.671428571428)

54+/-3.342857142857

54+/-3.34

= ( 50.66, 57.34)

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval (a,b)

= ( 50.66, 57.34)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Write\:the\:numbers\:one\:under\:the\:other,\:line\:up\:the\:decimal\:points.}$

$\mathrm{Add\:trailing\:zeroes\:so\:the\:numbers\:have\:the\:same\:length.}$

$\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&6\\ -&1&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:6-2=4$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&\textbf{6}\\ -&1&.&9&4&\textbf{2}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&\textbf{3}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$=3.374$

Hence the correct answer is 3.374
