Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on the children's birthday gift is between $45.77 and $48.23.

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, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7396

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.7396\frac{3}{\sqrt{18}} = 1.23

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 47 - 1.23 = $45.77

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 47 + 1.23 = $48.23

The 90% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on the children's birthday gift is between $45.77 and $48.23.

A collection of dimes and quarters is worth $6.50. There are 35 coins in all. How many dimes are there. Work it out with two equ
zimovet [89]
D + q = 35....d = 35 - q
0.10d + 0.25q = 6.50

0.10(35 - q) + 0.25q = 6.50
3.50 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 6.50
-0.10q + 0.25q = 6.50 - 3.50
0.15q = 3
q = 3 / 0.15
q = 20 <=== 20 quarters

d + q = 35
d + 20 = 35
d = 35 - 20
d = 15 <=== 15 dimes
