A statistician selected a sample of 16 accounts receivable and determined the mean of the sample to be $5,000 with a standard de

viation of $400. He reported that the sample information indicated the mean of the population ranges from $4,739.80 to $5,260.20. He neglected to report what confidence level he had used. Based on the above information, determine the confidence level that was used. Assume the population has a normal distribution.

Answer:

The confidence level that was used is 0.25% .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that mean of the selected sample of 16 accounts is $5,000 and a standard deviation of $400.

It has also been reported that the sample information indicated the mean of the population ranges from $4,739.80 to $5,260.20. This represents the Confidence Interval for population mean.

<em>But we have to find that at what confidence level this information about range of population men has been stated.</em>

Since we know that Confidence Interval for population mean is given by :

   <em>C.I. for population mean = Sample mean(xbar) </em>\pm<em> z value * </em>\frac{Standard    deviation}{\sqrt{n} }<em />

i.e.,<em>if we have 95% C.I. = xbar </em>\pm<em> 1.96 * </em>\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }<em> .</em>

So, our Confidence Interval for population is written as :

 [$4,739.80 , $5,260.20] = $5000 \pm z value * \frac{400}{\sqrt{16} }

 $5000 - z value * 100 = $4739.80    { Solving these we get Z value = 2.602}

 $5000 + z value * 100 = $5260.20

In z table we find that at value of 2.60 the probability is 0.99534 so subtracting this from 1 we get confidence level for one tail i.e.0.5%(approx).

Therefore, for two tail Confidence level will be 0.5%/2 = 0.25% .

CAN SOMEONE PLSSS HELP WITH 27 , 28,29!
djverab [1.8K]
The area for 27 is 64cm^2.

For the mean, you add up all the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are. So you would do 45+96+100+39+50 and divide it by 5. So your mean is 66.

Now for 29.
For when n=5 is 8
For when n=8 is 14
For when n=14 is 26

Hope this helps!

Match the solid figure to the appropriate formula.
AlekseyPX

1. L \cdot A=\pi r l        -       Cone

2. V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}         -        Sphere

3. T \cdot A=2 \pi r h+2 \pi r^{2} - Cylinder

4. V=\frac{1}{3} B h         -        Pyramid

5. L . A=p h         -        Prism

Solution:

1. L \cdot A=\pi r l

Lateral surface area of cone = \pi r l

where r is the radius of the cone and l is the slant height of the cone.

2. V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Volume of sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

where r is the radius of the sphere.

3. T \cdot A=2 \pi r h+2 \pi r^{2}

Total surface area of cylinder = 2 \pi r h+2 \pi r^{2}

where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

4. V=\frac{1}{3} B h

Volume of pyramid = \frac{1}{3} B h

where B is the base area of the pyramid and h is the height of the pyramid.

5. L . A=p h

Lateral surface area of prism = p h

where p is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism.
