A family is relocating from St. Louis, Missouri, to California. Due to an increasing inventory of houses in St. Louis, it is tak

ing longer than before to sell a house. The wife is concerned and wants to know when it is optimal to put their house on the market. Her realtor friend informs them that the last 29 houses that sold in their neighborhood took an average time of 230 days to sell. The realtor also tells them that based on her prior experience, the population standard deviation is 35 days.
a. What assumption regarding the population is necessary for making an interval estimate of the population mean?
Assume that the population has a normal distribution.
Assume that the population has a uniform distribution.
b. Construct a 90% confidence interval of the mean sale time for all homes in the neighborhood.

Answer:

a. Assume that the population has a normal distribution.

b. The 90% confidence interval of the mean sale time for all homes in the neighborhood is between 219.31 days and 240.69 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to assume normality.

Question b:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645\frac{35}{\sqrt{29}} = 10.69

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 230 - 10.69 = 219.31 days.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 230 + 10.69 = 240.69 days.

The 90% confidence interval of the mean sale time for all homes in the neighborhood is between 219.31 days and 240.69 days.

frez [133]

Answer:

I think 10.5 would be the unit price and 10lbs of potatoes and 2lbs of tomatoes would cost less

Step-by-step explanation:

since tomatoes cost 2 times more I decided to act as he only bought potatoes and in that case he would have bought 22lbs of potatoes so I divided 16.50 by 22 and got .75 then I multiplied it by 10 and got 7.5 as well as multiplied .75 by two to get the price of the tomatoes then I added 7.5+3 to get 10.5
