Answer:
The correct option is (b).
Step-by-step explanation:
The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:
The confidence interval for population mean can be computed using either the <em>z</em>-interval or <em>t</em>-interval.
The <em>t</em>-interval is used if the following conditions are satisfied:
For computing a (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean , it is necessary for the population to normally distributed if the sample selected is small, i.e.<em>n</em> < 30, because only then the sampling distribution of sample mean will be approximated by the normal distribution.
In this case the sample size is, <em>n</em> = 28 < 30.
Also it is provided that the systolic blood pressure is known to have a skewed distribution.
Since the sample is small and the population is not normally distributed, the sampling distribution of sample mean will not be approximated by the normal distribution.
Thus, no conclusion can be drawn from the 90% confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure.
The correct option is (b).
Answer:
He will have $276.10 available towards the down payment for his motorcycle
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound interest formula is given by:
Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.
In this problem, we have that:
Compounded quarterly, so n = 12/4 = 3.
We have to find A.
