A fitness center is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of days per week that Americans who are

members of a fitness club go to their fitness center. Records of 219 members were looked at and their mean number of visits per week was 2.4 and the standard deviation was 2.9. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
A. The sampling distribution follows a _______ distribution.
B. With 90% confidence the population mean number of visits per week is between _____ and ______ visits.
C. If many groups of 220 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About ________ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about__________ percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

Answer:

A. Normal

B. Between 2.078 and 2.722 visits.

C. About 90 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about 10 percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

Question A:

By the Central Limit Theorem, normal.

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{2.9}{\sqrt{219}} = 0.322

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.4 - 0.322 = 2.078 visits

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.4 + 0.322 = 2.722 visits.

Between 2.078 and 2.722 visits.

Question c:

90% confidence level, so 90% will contain the true population mean, 100 - 90 = 10% wont.

About 90 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about 10 percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

Y ( x + w ) = c ( x + z )
ycow [4]

The formula for x in terms of other terms in the equation is; x = (cz-yw)/(y-c).

<h3>What is the formular for x in term of other terms in the equation?</h3>

According to the task content, it follows that the variable X is to be made the subject of the formula;

Hence, it follows that;

y ( x + w ) = c ( x + z )

yx +yw = cx +cz

x(y-c) = (cz-yw)

x = (cz-yw)/(y-c)

Remarks: The complete question requires that x be made the subject of the formula.
