A study was done to determine the average number of homes that a homeowner owns in his or her lifetime. For the 50 homeowners su

rveyed, the sample average was 5.1 and the sample standard deviation was 3.8. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 50 - 1 = 49

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 49 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0096

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0096\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.1

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.1 - 1.1 = 4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.1 + 1.1 = 6.2.

The 95% confidence interval for the true average number of homes that a person owns in his or her lifetime is (4,6.2).

<span>an equation for the line in​ point-slope form and general form is :
y = ax+b   a : </span>slope  ; the <span>Passing through (x' ; y')
</span>y' = ax'+b 
y-y' =a(x-x')      and : x' =2   y' = - 1
calculate a :
let :  y = ax+b .....(D)
   ....<span>3y-x=7</span>....(D') or  y = (1/3)x+7/3
.(D) perpendicular to(D') : slope (D) × slope (D') = -1 

 slope (D') = 1/3
slop(D)×(1/3) = -1
slope (D) = -3
equation for the line    :   y-y' =a(x-x') 
y+1 =(-3) (x-2)
