Answer: Choice B</h3>
No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.
====================================================
Explanation:
The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol
which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.
The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8
We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2
Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.
Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
Answer:1 and 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, let's see the given: 20/16
So, we can take out 16 from the top to make it 1 4/16
Now, we can simplify that by dividing the top and bottom by 2: 1 2/8
We can simplify that again to get 1 1/4
So the answer is 1 and 1/4
Answer:
x = 8.45
Step-by-step explanation:
5.4 + 0.2x = 7.09
Subtract 5.4 from both sides to leave 0.2x alone
0.2x = 1.69
Divide by 0.2 on both sides to isolate x
x = 1.69/0.2
x = 8.45
Answer:
y = 2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1(2) - 1 = 1
2(2) - 1 = 3
3(2) - 1 = 5
4(2) - 1 = 7
1 hour and a half. Every half hour is a quarter. So 3 half hours = 1 hours and a half. Hope this helps!
