The personnel department of a large corporation wants to estimate the family dental expenses of its employees to determine the f

easibility of providing a dental insurance plan. A random sample of 12 employees reveals the following family dental expenses (in dollars): 115 370 250 593 540 225 117 425 318 182 275 228 Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average family dental expenses for all employees in this corporation. Place your LOWER limit, in dollars rounded to 1 decimal place, in the first blank. Do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. For example, 123.4 would be a legitimate entry. Place your UPPER limit, in dollars rounded to 1 decimal place, in the second blank. Do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. For example, 567.8 would be a legitimate entry.

Answer:

CI(95%): [205,5;400.8]dolars

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So you need to construct a confidence interval for the average family dental expenses (μ) using the sample given in the problem. To estimate it you need to first choose a statistic. For this small sample, considering that the variable has a normal distribution (I made a quick Shapiro Wilks test, with p-value 0.3234, you can assume normality) the best statistic to use is the Student's t-test.

t= [x(bar)-μ]/S/√n ≈ t₍ₙ₋₁₎

The formula for the confidence interval to estimate the mean is

x(bar)±t_{n-1; 1-\alpha/2}* (S/√n)

<u>The critical value is from a t-distribution with 11 degrees of freedom </u>

±t_{n-1; 1-\alpha/2} = t_{11; 0.975} = 2.201

<em> >remember since it's two-tailed, to get the right critical value you have to divide α by 2. So in the text, you received a confidence level of 1-α=0.95 so α=0.05 then α/2=0.025 and 1-α/2=0.975</em>

To construct the interval, you need to first calculate the sample mean and the standard derivation.

<u>Sample</u>

115; 370; 250; 593; 540; 225; 117; 425; 318; 182; 275; 228

n= 12

∑xi = 3638 ∑xi² = 1362670

<u>Sample mean</u>

x(bar): (∑xi)/n = 3638/12 = 303.17 dolars

<u>Standard derivation</u>

S²= 1/n-1*[∑xi²- (∑xi)²/n] = 1/11 * [1362670-((3638)²/12)] = 23614.47 dolars²

S= 153.67 dolars

<u>Confidence interval (95%)</u>

303.17± 2.201* (153.67/√12)

N is inversely proportional to t and when t is 36 ,N is176 .
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

N is inversely proportional to t, therefore:

N ∝ 1/t

Let k be the constant of proportionality, hence we can replace the relationship by:

N = k/t

Given that when t is 36, N is 176. Therefore we can find the value of k:

176 = k / 36

k = 176 * 36 = 6336

N = 6336/t

Also let us find N when t = 6. This is done by substituting t = 6 into the equation and simplifying:

N = 6336/6

N = 1056

For every $5 tent saved, his his dad will contribute $2 to his saving account. How much will Trent have to put into the account
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

  $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Trent contributes 5/(5+2) = 5/7 of the amount in his account. For an amount of $56, he must contribute ...

  (5/7)×$56 = $40

Trent will have to put $40 into the account before he can buy a $56 skateboard.

A rectangular tank measuring 50 cm x 30 cm x 60 cm was completely filled with water. 1 5 of the water in the tank was transferre
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

<em>72,000cm³</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the rectangular tank = Length *  Width * Height

Given

Length = 50cm

Width = 30cm

Height = 60cm

Get the volume:

Volume = 50*30*60

Volume = 90,000cm³

Hence the volume of the rectangular tank is 90,000cm³.

If 1/5 of the volume of water was transferred to another tank, the volume transferred will be:

Amount transferred = 1/5 * 90,000

Amount transferred = 18000cm³

Amount left in the tank = 90,000 - 18,000

<em>Amount of water left in the tank = 72,000cm³</em>
