Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- We are to investigate the confidence interval of 95% for the population mean of walking times from Fretwell Building to the college of education building.
- The survey team took a sample of size n = 24 students and obtained the following results:
Sample mean ( x^ ) = 12.3 mins
Sample standard deviation ( s ) = 3.2 mins
- The sample taken was random and independent. We can assume normality of the sample.
- First we compute the critical value for the statistics.
- The z-distribution is a function of two inputs as follows:
- Significance Level ( α / 2 ) = ( 1 - CI ) / 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025
Compute: z-critical = z_0.025 = +/- 1.96
- The confidence interval for the population mean ( u ) of walking times is given below:
[ x^ - z-critical*s / √n , x^ + z-critical*s / √n ]
Answer: [ 12.3 - 1.96*3.2 / √24 , 12.3 + 1.96*3.2 / √24 ]
Yes 5/6 is smaller than 3/5
Keep in mind the the word "percent" translates to "for each 100." 25% can be read as "25 for each 100," which has the fractional representation

and the decimal representation 0.25. All of these representations are just different ways of writing the same value.
Note too that the fraction

can be reduced to

, so what the question is really asking is: 1/4 of what number is 9?
Well, if we know that 1/4 of the number is 9, we can easily find how large the whole number is by finding all 4/4 of it (the <em>whole</em> number)<em /><em />, or 4 x 9, which multiplies out to
36.
