Answer: Choice B</h3>
No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.
====================================================
Explanation:
The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol
which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.
The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8
We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2
Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.
Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There is an error in the question. The table does not show two linear functions. y₁ is a linear function, but y₂ is not a straight line. It makes a bend at (-6,1).
Line 1 goes through (-12,-3) and (0,5).
slope = (5-(-3))/(0-(-12)) = 2/3
y-intercept = 5
y₁ = (2/3)x + 5
Line 2 goes through (-12,-2) and (-6,1).
slope = (1-(-2))/(-6-(-12)) = 1/2
y₂ = (1/2)x + 4
(2/3)x + 5 = (1/2)x + 4
x = -6
y = (2/3)x + 5 = 1
Solution: (-6,1)
First, add -5 to -14:
-3x < -9
Then, just divide!:
x < 3
Hopefully that helped! :)
The first would be 4,000 and the second would be 400
