Answer: 95% confidence interval = 20,000 ± 2.12\times\frac{1500}{\sqrt{17} }

( 19228.736 , 20771.263 ) OR ( 19229 , 20771 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size(n) = 17

Sample mean = 20000

Sample standard deviation = 1,500

5% confidence

∴ \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.025

Degree of freedom (d_{f}) = n-1 = 16

∵ Critical value at ( 0.025 , 16 ) = 2.12

∴ 95% confidence interval = mean ± Z_{c}\times\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

Critical value  at 95% confidence interval = 20,000 ± 2.12\times\frac{1500}{\sqrt{17} }

( 19228.736 , 20771.263 ) OR ( 19229 , 20771 )

c) 150

Step-by-step explanation:

a) P(green) = ⅕

Expected no. = 300 × ⅕

= 60

b) total = 300

P(purple) = 72/300

= 6/25 = 0.24

c) P(blue) = 45/300

= 3/20 = 0.15

Expected no.: 1000 × 0.15

= 150
