We considered the differences between the temperature readings in January 1 of 1968 and 2008 at 51 locations in the continental

US in Exercise 5.19. The mean and standard deviation of the reported differences are 1.1 degrees and 4.9 degrees respectively.Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the average difference between the temperature measurements between 1968 and 2008.lower bound: ______ degrees(please round to two decimal places)upper bound: ______ degrees(please round to two decimal places)

Answer:

1.1-2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=-0.30    

1.1+2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=2.50    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (-0.30;2.50)  

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=1.1 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=4.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=51 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

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

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

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=51-1=50

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,50)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.02

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

1.1-2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=-0.30    

1.1+2.02\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{50}}=2.50    

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (-0.30;2.50)

2(b+3c) equivalent expressions<br>Options: <br><br>3(b+2c)<br>(b+3c) +(b+3c)<br>None of the above
Lana71 [14]
2(b + 3c) → We first need to simplify this.

Simplify.

2b + 6c

1st Option : 

3(b + 2c)

Simplify.

3b + 6c

This is INCORRECT, as it is not equal to 2b + 6c.

2nd Option :

(b + 3c) + (b + 3c)

Simplify.

2b + 6c

This is CORRECT because 2b+6c = 2b+6c

(b + 3c) + (b + 3c)  → Answer

~Hope I helped!~
