The World Health Organization is planning a study of the average weight gain of Europeans in the last 5 years. Scientists from t

he WHO plan on taking a SRS of 100 Europeans and calculating a 95% confidence interval of the average weight gain μ of all Europeans. The WHO changed their minds and now plans on calculating a 90% confidence interval from the sample they will select. Explain to the WHO the impact of changing their confidence level from 95% to 90%.
Their confidence interval would be less likely to capture the sample mean.

They would decrease the margin of error of their confidence interval if they calculated a 90% rather than a 95% confidence interval.

The probability of selecting a sample which doesn't capture the true value of μ would be 10% rather than 5% if they decide to calculate a 90% confidence interval rather than a 95% confidence interval from the sample they will select

Answer:

The probability of selecting a sample which doesn't capture the true value of μ would be 10% rather than 5% if they decide to calculate a 90% confidence interval rather than a 95% confidence interval from the sample they will select.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is the last statement, but first, let's look at the other statements:

<em>Their confidence interval would be less likely to capture the </em><em>sample </em><em>mean.</em>

This statement is not correct because the <em>confidence </em>of a confidence interval gives us the probability of capturing the true value of the population mean.

<em>They would </em><em>decrease </em><em>the margin of error of their confidence interval if they calculated a 90% rather than a 95% confidence interval.</em>

If we want more confidence we must establish more precision, which means more error. In other words if the confidence increases so does the error for a fixed sample size. The second statement is false.

<em>The probability of selecting a sample which doesn't capture the true value of μ would be 10% rather than 5% if they decide to calculate a 90% confidence interval rather than a 95% confidence interval from the sample they will select.</em>

As stated before the <em>confidence </em>of a confidence interval is the probability that the interval contains the true value of μ. Therefore, if we increase the confidence from 95% to 90% then this probability also increases. A 90% confidence means that there's a 10% probability of not containing the true mean. Likely, a 95% confidence means that there's a 5% probability of not containig the true mean. The third statement is true.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (6, 13)
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The slope is \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (0, 4) and (6, 13)

We want to find the slope of the line containing these two points

Slope (m) is the steepness of the line. When calculating from two points, you use the equation \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

Although we have what we need to find the slope, let's label the values of the points to avoid confusion and mistakes.

x_1=0\\y_1=4\\x_2=6\\y_2=13

Substitute these values into the equation

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{13-4}{6-0}

Subtract

m=\frac{9}{6}

Simplify

m=\frac{3}{2}

The slope of the line is 3/2

Hope this helps!

An open-top rectangular box with square base is to be made from 100 square feet of material, as shown.
-Dominant- [34]

The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³

<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>

Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).

Let h be the height of the box.

The surface area of the box is;

S = b² + 4bh

We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;

b² + 4bh = 100

h = (100 - b²)/4b

Volume of the box in terms of b will be;

V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b

V(b) = 25b - b³/4

The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;

dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4

25 - 3b²/4 = 0

√(100/3) = b

b = 5.77 ft

Thus;

h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)

h = 2.8885 ft

Thus;

Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885

Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³
