Sam computed a 95% confidence interval for μ from a specific random sample. His confidence interval was 10.1 < μ < 12.2. H

e claims that the probability that μ is in this interval is 0.95. What is wrong with his claim?
A) Either μ is in the interval or it is not. Therefore, the probability that μ is in this interval is 0.95 or 0.05.
B) A probability can not be assigned to the event of μ falling in this interval.
C) Either μ is in the interval or it is not. Therefore, the probability that μ is in this interval is 0 or 1.
D) The probability that μ is in this interval is 0.05.

Answer: C) Either μ is in the interval or it is not. Therefore, the probability that μ is in this interval is 0 or 1.

Step-by-step explanation: A 95% <u>Confidence</u> <u>interval</u> shows that there is a 95% confidence that the true parameter is between the lower and upper limits.

A CI is not a probability that the true parameter is in between the interval. The true parameter is either in the interval or not.

So, probability of falling between the limits is 0 (no chance of being in this interval) or 1 (100% possibility of being in this interval).

Then, "either μ is in the interval or it is not. therefore, the probability that μ is in this interval is 0 or 1." is correct.

Phoebe, Andy and Polly share £270.
Stella [2.4K]
*Given
Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe,  - <span>£270
</span>    Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total <span>£270. Thus, 
</span>
                  B + A + L  = <span>£270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as
  
                  B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                  A = 2L</span>                           (EQUATION 2)
<span>
4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly, 

                 B = 3A
                 B = 3 x (2L)
                 B = 6L                            </span>(EQUATION 3)<span>

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only. 

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes, 

                  6L + 2L + L = </span><span>£270
</span>                                9L = <span>£270
</span>                                  L = <span>£30

So, Polly has </span><span>£30. 

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively. 
</span>
                  A = 2L                           
                  A = 2(£30)
                  A = £60

Andy has £60

                  B = 6L                         
                  B = 6(£30)
                  B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.
