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)

KIM [24]

Answer:

A 2 ounce bag costs $1.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can use a role of three to find the cost of a 2 ounce bag given that you know that a six ounce bag costs $3.60.

6 ounce bag → 3.60

2 ounce bag →   x

x=(2*3.60)/6

x=7.20/6

x=1.2

According to this, the answer is that a 2 ounce bag costs $1.2.

What is the absolute value of a number ?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value (or modulus) | x | of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of −5 is also 5. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.
