We are given a circle with center O.

We can see that we have a radius OB of given circle.

OC and OE are another two radii.

EC is a diameter of the circle.

<em>Diameter is the segment that cut the circle at two points and passes through center.</em>

AB is a tangent of the given circle.

<em>A tangent is a segment that cut a circle at one point only.</em>

But the chord is GD.

<em>A chord of a circle is the segment that cut a circle at two points.</em>

<h3>Therefore, a chord in circle O is GD.</h3><h3 />

GD is the chord here.

A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle.

Answer:

$2.64-2.14\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{15}}=1.911$

$2.64+2.14\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{15}}=3.369$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (1.911;3.37)

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".

$\bar X=2.64$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.32 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 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:

$df=n-1=15-1=14$

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(0.025,14)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.14$
