An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of times real estate agents show a home. A sample of 23 home

s recently sold in the Buffalo, New York, area revealed the mean number of times a home was shown was 24 and the standard deviation of the sample was 9 people.
a. What is the margin of error for a 98% confidence interval?

b.What is the 98% confidence interval for the population mean?

Using the t-distribution, it is found that:

a. The <u>margin of error</u> is of 4.7 homes.

b. The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.3, 28.7).

The information given in the text is:

  • Sample mean of \overline{x} = 24.
  • Sample standard deviation of s = 9.
  • Sample size of n = 23.

We are given the <u>standard deviation for the sample</u>, which is why the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm M

The margin of error is:

M = t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Item a:

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed <u>98% confidence interval</u>, with 23 - 1 = <u>22 df</u>, is t = 2.508.

Then, the <em>margin of error</em> is:

M = t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.508\frac{9}{\sqrt{23}} = 4.7

Item b:

The interval is:

\overline{x} - M = 24 - 4.7 = 19.3

\overline{x} + M = 24 + 4.7 = 28.7

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.3, 28.7).

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -9) −6,−12)?
Fed [463]

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Therefore,

slope = (-12-(-9))/(-6-(-9))

= -3/3

=-1

Ten experts rated a newly developed chocolate chip cookie on a scale of 1 to 50. Their ratings were:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is

34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32, 36, 38, 40

We need to find the mean deviation of the given data.

Number of observations, n = 10

Mean of the data is

Mean=\dfrac{\sum x}{n}

Mean=\dfrac{34+35+41+28+26+29+32+36+38+40}{10}

Mean=\dfrac{339}{10}

Mean=33.9

Formula for mean deviation is

\text{Mean deviation}=\dfrac{\sum |x-mean|}{n}

\sum |x-mean|=|34-33.9|+|35-33.9|+|41-33.9|+|28-33.9|+|26-33.9|+|29-33.9|+ |32-33.9|+|36-33.9|+|38-33.9|+|40-33.9|=41.2

\text{Mean deviation}=\dfrac{41.2}{10}

\text{Mean deviation}=4.12

The mean deviation of the ratings is 4.12.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Write an equation where the variable is divided by a number, and a solution is -4/5
MrMuchimi

Answer:

x/-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide by 5 and the denominator will be 5 meaning x would have to be 4.

Make sure your 5 is negative so the whole equation also ends up negative. x/-5=-4/5
