ASK YOUR TEACHER An article reported that for a sample of 42 kitchens with gas cooking appliances monitored during a one-week pe

riod, the sample mean CO2 level (ppm) was 654.16, and the sample standard deviation was 165.23. (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average CO2 level in the population of all homes from which the sample was selected. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

654.16-2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=602.66    

654.16+2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=705.66    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (602.66;705.66)

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=654.16 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=165.23 represent the sample standard deviation

n=42 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=42-1=41

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: "=-T.INV(0.025,41)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.02

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

654.16-2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=602.66    

654.16+2.02\frac{165.23}{\sqrt{42}}=705.66    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (602.66;705.66)

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Option 3 is right

z37 is between 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable which represents the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work

X is normal (N(29,3.6)

WE have to find Z score for X

Z =\frac{x-29}{3.6}

=2.22

i.e. 37 is 2.22 std deviations from the mean.

In other words, z37 is between 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.
