A random sample of college basketball players had an average height of 63.45 inches. Based on this sample, (62.1, 64.8) found to

be a 96% confidence interval for the population mean height of college basketball players. Select the correct answer to interpret this interval.a. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball palyers is 63.45 inches.b. A 96% of college basketball players have height between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.c. There is a 96% chance that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.d. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.

Answer:

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

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

And for this case the confidence interval is given by (62.1; 64.8)

Now we need to interpret this confidence interval and we can conclude this:

d. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.

And the reason of this is because the principal interest when we create a confidence interval is in order to estimate the population mean \mu at some level of confidence, and for this reason we can't asociate this to a chance or a probability.

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=63.45 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n 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)

And for this case the confidence interval is given by (62.1; 64.8)

Now we need to interpret this confidence interval and we can conclude this:

d. We are 96% confident that the population mean height of college basketball players is between 62.1 and 64.8 inches.

And the reason of this is because the principal interest when we create a confidence interval is in order to estimate the population mean \mu at some level of confidence, and for this reason we can't asociate this to a chance or a probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steven earns in 4 hours -$23.00

he earns in 6 hours-$34.50

there fore in 10 hours -23.00+34.50=$57.50

in 20 hours -57.50+57.50=$115

and in 4 hours-$23.00+115.00=138.00$

then he earn $138.00 one day

Point A is located at (2, 6), and point M is located at (−1, 8). If point M is the midpoint of segment AB, find the location of
Viefleur [7K]

ANSWER:

d. (−4, 10)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The midpoint has the following definition:

\left(x_m,y_m\right)=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

We can calculate point B, using the following equations obtained taking into account the above:

\begin{gathered} x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} \\  \\ -1=\frac{2+x_2}{2} \\  \\ x_2+2=-2 \\  \\ x_2=-2-2=-4 \\  \\  \\ y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \\  \\ 8=\frac{6+y_2}{2} \\  \\ y_2+6=16 \\  \\ y_2=16-6=10 \\  \\ \text{ Therefore, point B is located at \lparen-4, 10\rparen} \end{gathered}

The correct answer is: d. (−4, 10)
