Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (2.804;3.196)    

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=3.0 represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=1 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 represent the sample size  

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

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

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

3.0-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}=2.804    

3.0+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}=3.196

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (2.804;3.196)

1. Bill decided to buy six books on history instead
bulgar [2K]

Answer: 2/3 books on politics

Step-by-step explanation:

The opportunity cost of something is the next best alternative that you would have taken if you did not instead go for the option that you took.

Opportunity cost here is the number of books on politics that Bill had to give up to get a single book on history.

= Number of politics books / Number of history  books

= 4 / 6

= 2/3 books on politics

<em>Bill gave up 2/3 books on politics to get a single history book. </em>
