<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.

====================================================

Explanation:

The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol \mu which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.

The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8

We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2

Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.

Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.

Anna wants to take fitness classes. She compares two gyms to determine which would be the best deal for her. Fit Fast charges a
mestny [16]
Fit Fast: a set feet per class => y = Ax

Stepping Up: a monthly fee plus an additioal fee per class => h = Bx + C

You can discard the second and the fourth systems because  they do not have the form established from the statement.

The first system produce an obvious result given that is represents an option that is always better than the other 5.5x will be lower than 7.5x + 10 for any positive value of x, and so there is no need to make any comparission.

The third system is

y = 7.5x and y = 5.5x + 10 which need to be solved to determine when one rate is more convenient than the other.

Answer: y = 7.5x and y = 5..5x + 10
