Answer:

Sample mean = 7.1

Margin of error = 0.465

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± zE

Where;

x¯ is sample mean

z is critical value at confidence level

E is margin of error.

z for 99% Cl is 2.58

We are told the CI is 5.9 to 8.3.

Thus;

5.9 = x¯ - 2.58E - - - - (1)

8.3 = x¯ + 2.58E - - - - (2)

Add both equations together to get;

14.2 = 2x¯

x¯ = 14.2/2

x¯ = 7.1

Put 7.1 for x¯ in eq 1 to get;

5.9 = 7.1 - 2.58E

7.1 - 5.9 = 2.58E

E = 1.2/2.58

E = 0.465

If 75 percent of the employees of a certain company take a winter vacation, 40 percent take a winter and a summer vacation, and
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of employees that took Winter vacation = 75%

The number of employees that took Both winter and summer vacation = 40%

The number that took Neither = 20

The total number of employees (%) =Winter + Summer - Both + Neither = 100%

75%+ Summer - 40%+ 20%= 100%

Solving for Summer = 45%

Now we are interested in the employees that took summer but not winter = Summer only = Summer - Both(i.e. summer overlap with winter) = 45%-40%= 5%

All you have to do is divide each one by its other number.  For example, 5.60 for 8 is the same as one for 0.70.  We accomplish this by dividing the 5.60 by 8.
So...
0.70
0.80
0.90
0.75
The first choice is the lowest.
