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.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (12,-8) and (-9,-11)
Sauron [17]
Answer: 1/7


Explanation:

1. Use the formula, y2-y1/x2-x1
Plug in the points, (12, -8) and (-9, -11) into the formula.
Point (12, -8): 12 is the X1 and -8 is the y1.
Point (-9, -11): -9 is the X2 and -11 is the y2
So, -11--8/-9-12

2. -11--8/-9-12= -3/-21= 1/7

I hope this helps!!

Answer:

5x^2  -3x  +9

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract, line up the common terms.  I add a 0 term to keep the terms in line.

5x^2  + 0x  +7

- (0x^2 +3x-  2 )

------------------------


Distribute the negative sign.

5x^2  + 0x  +7

- 0x^2 -3x  + 2

------------------------

5x^2  -3x  +9

A sequence is defined by the formula f(n+1)=f(n)-3. If f(4)=22, what is f(1)?
Vlad [161]
<h3>Answer: Choice C) 31</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

The recursive rule

f(n+1)=f(n)-3

can be rearranged to

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

after adding 3 to both sides

----------------

Now let's say we plug in n = 3

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(3) = f(3+1)+3

f(3) = f(4)+3

f(3) = 22+3

f(3) = 25

Repeat for n = 2

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(2) = f(2+1)+3

f(2) = f(3)+3

f(2) = 25+3

f(2) = 28

Each time we keep adding 3 to get the previous term (since the original recursive rule says to subtract 3 to get the next term; we just go backwards of what the instructions say).

Lastly, we can find that f(1) = f(2)+3 = 28+3 = 31 making the answer to be choice C.
