Answer:
Confidence interval for the mean consumption of milk per week among males over age 25 in 85% confidence level is (2.8≤μ≤3.0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Consumption of milk among males over age 25 can be found using the formula:
M± where M is the <em>sample mean</em>, z is the corresponding <em>z-score for 85% confidence level</em>, s is the <em>population standard deviation</em>, N is the <em>sample size</em>.
In this sample, mean of milk consumption per week among males over age 25 is 2.9 liters. Corresponding z-score for 85% confidence interval is 1.440. standard deviation of the sample is 1.1. And sample size is 513. When we put these numbers in the formula, we got:
2.9± =2.9±0.07
3 because Negative numbers equal less than 0. See the number line attached below. In the number line, all the negative numbers are on the left of the zero and all the positive numbers are on the right of the 0.
Continent X would be 6120000
Continent Y would be 5480000
Continent X is larger
It is 640000 or 6.4x20^5 is greater
So theres more than one answer so either 13 over 4 or 14 over 4
