Suppose that a random sample of 10 adults has a mean score of 62 on a standardized personality test, with a standard deviation o

f 4 . (A higher score indicates a more personable participant.) If we assume that scores on this test are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval.

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

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{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

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 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

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 = 1.645*\frac{4}{\sqrt{10}} = 2.08

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 62 - 2.08 = 59.92

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 62 + 2.08 = 64.08.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test is between 59.92 and 64.08. The lower end is 59.92, and the upper end is 64.08.

Please help, im stressed and under a time limit .
Shalnov [3]

n=9

Step-by-step explanation:

6^10 = 60466176

6^-4 0.00077160493

60466176  x 0.00077160493 = 46655.9994998 , which is the numerator

6^-5 = 0.00012860082

6^2 = 36

0.00012860082  x 36 = 0.00462962952

46655.9994998  / 0.00462962952 = 10077696

6^9 = 10077696

Therefore, n=9

Central limit theorem works because if the sample size is sufficiently large, then the theory assumes the majority of the observ
olga_2 [115]

Answer: normally distributed and will have a mean that will be approximately equal to the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation: The central limit theorem tries to show that regardless to the variables in a statistical distribution,the sample mean will tend toward approximating the mean of the population for sufficiently large sample size, a sample size or observations that are greater than or equal to 30 is sufficiently large enough.

The theorem helps to understand that as the sample size increases the chances of getting a sample mean that is approximately Equal to the population mean will be high, and the variance will continue to reduce.
