A researcher records the repair cost for 8 randomly selected washers. A sample mean of $60.46 and standard deviation of $18.36 a

re subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

The critical value is T = 1.895.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution.

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 = 8 - 1 = 6

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.895, which is the critical value.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.895\frac{18.36}{\sqrt{8}} = 12.301

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 60.46 - 12.301 = $48.159

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 60.46 + 12.301 = $72.761

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The package weighs 21.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 dollars + T(0.60 tax per pound) divided by 15.40( the full cost of the shipment)

15.40 divided by 0.60 = 25.6

25.6 - 4 = 21.6

11000 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 12% for 21 years. Find the total amount in the compound interest account
marishachu [46]

\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$11000\\
r=rate\to 12\%\to \frac{12}{100}\dotfill &0.12\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{semiannually, thus twice}
\end{array}\dotfill &2\\
t=years\dotfill &21
\end{cases}


\bf A=11000\left(1+\frac{0.12}{2}\right)^{2\cdot 21}\implies A=11000(1.06)^{42}\implies A\approx 127127.359416
