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

What is 0.26 x 4.3?????????????????
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 1.118

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor x Factor = Product

0.26(Factor) x 4.3(Factor) = 1.118(Product)

To check your work, divide the product by one of the factors and the result you should get is the other factor.

1.118(Product) ÷ 4.3(Factor) = 0.26(Factor)

-or-

1.118(Product) ÷ 0.26(Factor) = 4.3(Factor)

To show work:

     .26

<u>    x4.3</u>

   .078

<u>+1.040</u>

  1.118

6+b/b is an integer number. find all possible integer values of b​
Andrei [34K]

Step-by-step explanation:

(6+b)/b = x (= an integer number)

6 + b = bx (= still an integer number)

6 = bx - b = b(x - 1) (= still an integer number)

b = 6/(x - 1) (= still an integer number)

now for b to be integer, (x-1) must be a factor of 6 (6 must be divisible by x-1 with 0 remainder).

and integer includes negative numbers too.

the factors of 6 are therefore

1, 2, 3, 6, -1, -2, -3, -6

so, b can be 6/±1 = ±6

b can be 6/±2 = ±3

b can be 6/±3 = ±2

b can be 6/±6 = ±1

so, all possible values for b are also the listed factors of 6 :

-6, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 6

A baseball player has a batting average of 0.260. Suppose that you observe successive at-bats of the player and note for each at
Georgia [21]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.278.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that a player has a batting average = 0.260

Probability of success = 0.260

Probability of failure = 1-0.260 = 0.74

Number of times at bat = 4

Probability that the player will get two or more hits in his next four times at bat is given by

P(X\geq 2)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)\\\\P(X\geq 2)=^4C_2(0.26)^2(0.74)^2+^4C_3(0.26)^3(0.74+^4C_4(0.26)^4\\\\P(X\geq 2)=0.278

Hence, our required probability is 0.278.
