Ceiling Function is the least integer that is greater than or equal to x.
1.29 can go into 38.7 30 times, Your answer is 30.
A. The point estimate of μ1 − μ2 is calculated using the value of x1 - x2, therefore:
μ1 − μ2 = x1 – x2 =
7.82 – 5.99
μ1 − μ2 = 1.83
B. The formula for
confidence interval is given as:
Confidence interval
= (x1 –x2) ± z σ
where z is a value
taken from the standard distribution tables at 99% confidence interval, z =
2.58
and σ is calculated
using the formula:
σ = sqrt [(σ1^2 /
n1) + (σ2^2 / n2)]
σ = sqrt [(2.35^2 /
18) + (3.17^2 / 15)]
σ = 0.988297
Going back to the
confidence interval:
Confidence interval
= 1.83 ± (2.58) (0.988297)
Confidence interval
= 1.83 ± 2.55
Confidence interval
= -0.72, 4.38
the difference from 40000 to the future value in 2020, namely 5 years later is simply the yield or interest amount.
C is the answer !!!!!!!!!
