An educational psychologist wishes to know the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute. She wants to make an est

imate at the 80% level of confidence. For a sample of 840 third graders, the mean words per minute read was 40.6. Assume a population standard deviation of 4.1. Construct the confidence interval for the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute is between 40.4 wpm and 40.8 wpm.

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{1-0.8}{2} = 0.1

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 1-0.1 = 0.99, so z = 1.28

Now, find 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 = 1.28*\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{840}} = 0.2

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 40.6 - 0.2 = 40.4 words per minute.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 40.6 + 0.2 = 40.8 words per minute.

The 80% confidence interval for the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute is between 40.4 wpm and 40.8 wpm.

Answer: I believe the answer is O passing materials in blood to cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The thin walls of the capillaries allow oxygen and nutrients to pass from the blood into tissues and allow waste products to pass from tissues into the blood.

More info: Capillaries

Capillaries - Enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues. They are the smallest and thinnest of the blood vessels in the body and also the most common. Capillaries connect to arterioles on one end and venules on the other.
