Banking fees have received much attention during the recent economic recession as banks look for ways to recover from the crisis

. A sample of 41 customers paid an average fee of ​$12.22 per month on their​ interest-bearing checking accounts. Assume the population standard deviation is ​$1.86. Complete parts a and b below.
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average fee for the population.
b. What is the margin of error for this interval?

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval to estimate the average fee for the population is between $11.65 and $12.79

b) $0.57

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{1.86}{\sqrt{41}} = 0.57

So the answer for b) is $0.57.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 12.22 - 0.57 = $11.65

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 12.22 + 0.57 = $12.79

The 95% confidence interval to estimate the average fee for the population is between $11.65 and $12.79

PSYCHO15rus [73]

In general, you're calculating the magnitude of average velocity. In fact, speed is a vector, and as such it also has a direction and orientation.

So, if you compute the average speed, you're assuming that you went directly from point A to point B, which is basically never the case.

If, instead, you actually moved on a straight line from point A to point B, then the two quantities are the same.

4(x−5) <br> 2<br> =36<br><br> can i please get an answer to this
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

19/2 or 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−5)(2)=36

8x+−40=36(Distribute)

8x−40=36

Step 2: Add 40 to both sides.

8x−40+40=36+40

8x=76

Step 3: Divide both sides by 8.

8x/8=76/8

x=19/2
