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).

Need help ASAP Question 1 of 10

Answer:

4(x - 9)^2 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal shift to the right by 9 changes x^2 to (x - 9)^2.

A vertical shift down by 1 changes - 16 to -17.

Therefore, the new equation is:

4(x - 9)^2 - 17
