1/3 is the answer. 4/12 and that simplifies to 1/3

There are 4 boys and 12 students in total. It would be 4/12, but if it was to be simplified, it would be 1/3. The probability of a boy being selected is 1/3.

Complete Question

From a random sample of size 18, a researcher states that (11.1, 15.7) inches is a 90% confidence interval for mu, the mean length of bass caught in a small lake. A normal distribution was assumed. Using the 90% confidence interval obtain:

a. A point estimate of \mu and its 90% margin of error.

b. A 95% confidence interval for \mu.

Answer:

a

\= x  = 13.4   .   E = 2.3

b

10.7 <  \mu < 16.1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n = 18

  The 90% confidence interval is  (11.1, 15.7)

Generally the point estimate of  \mu is mathematically  evaluated  as

       \= x  = \frac{11.1 + 15.7 }{2}

=>    \= x  = 13.4

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated  as

     E = \frac{15.7 - 11.1}{2 }

=> E = 2.3

  From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.10

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the equation for the lower limit of the confidence interval is  

      \= x  -  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{s}{\sqrt{18} } = 11.1

=> 13.4   -  0.3877 s  = 11.1

=>  s = 5.932

  From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>    E =  1.96 *  \frac{5.932}{\sqrt{18} }

=>    E =  2.7      

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E

=>    13.4  -  2.7  <  \mu < 13.4  +   2.7

=>    10.7 <  \mu < 16.1
