Answer:

a)

CI = ( 1.2718, 8.0614 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

b)

CI = ( -2.2296, 3.0296 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

c)

CI = ( 0.2962, 4.4538 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Variance σ² = 9

so standard deviation σ = √9 = 3

with 95% confidence interval in each case. thus, The Z value for 95% confidence is Z = 1.96

Null Hypotheses  H₀ : μ = 2

Now

a)  (8,1,5)

sample mean x" = (8+1+5)  / 3 = 14/3 = 4.6666

n = 3

Confidence Interval CI = x" ± ( z × σ/√n )

CI = 4.6666 ± ( 1.96 × 3/√3 )

CI = 4.6666 ± 3.3948

so CI = ( 1.2718, 8.0614 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

b)  (8,1,5,-4,-8)  

sample mean X" =  (8 +1 + 5 - 4 - 8)  / 5 = 2 / 5 = 0.4

n = 5  

Confidence Interval CI = x" ± ( z × σ/√n )

CI = 0.4 ± ( 1.96 × 3/√5 )

CI = 0.4 ± 2.6296

so CI = ( -2.2296, 3.0296 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

c)  (8,1,5,-4,-8,4,8,5)

sample mean x" = (8 + 1 + 5 - 4 - 8 + 4 + 8 + 5)   / 8 = 19 / 8 = 2.375

n = 8

Confidence Interval CI = x" ± ( z × σ/√n )

CI = 2.375 ± ( 1.96 × 3/√8 )

CI = 2.375 ± 2.0788

so CI = ( 0.2962, 4.4538 )

Since value 2 is contained within Confidence Interval, fail to Reject H₀

____ [38]

Answer:each student will sell 9 balloons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balloons sold by the six groups at the carnival is 162. There are 3 students in each group. This means that the total number of students in the six groups would be 6 × 3 = 18 students.

If each student sells the same number of balloons, then it means that the number of balloons that each student sells will be

162/18 = 9
