In a survey, 24 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $42 and standard deviation of $2. Construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 24 - 1 = 23

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 23 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.5

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.5\frac{2}{\sqrt{24}} = 1.02[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42 - 1.02 = $40.98.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.02 = $43.02.

The 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent on their child's last birthday gift is between $40.98 and $43.02.

Answers

Answer:

Online Poll

We can conclude that

c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample responses received from the poll = 941,434

Proportion of voters for Clay Aiken = 55%

Computed proportion of voters for the other 5 contestants = 45% (100% - 55%)

This gives an average of 7.5% (45%/5) for the other 5 contestants.

Therefore, the conclusion is that "most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants" in the American Idol contest.

Answer:

(−14.850850 ; 0.565135)

Step-by-step explanation:

Xd ± Tcritical * Sd/√n

Population 1 :30 35 23 22 28 39 21

Population 2 : 45 49 15 34 20 49 36

d = -15,-14,8,-12,8,-10,-15

The admission fee at amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults on a certain day 355 ppl entered the park and the admission fees collected a total 970,000 dollars how many children and how many adults were admitted?

Answers

Answer:

180 children and 175 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be that the amount of children who visited the park that day was x, the rest was adults. It means the quantity of adults equals 355-x.

The payment from the children is 1.5*x (because each children payed 1.5 dollars, the amount of money from children is the fee from one child multiplied by the quantity of children). The money earned by the park's owners from adults are equal to the fee from one adult multiplied by the quantity  4* (355-x)= 1420 -4x

If we add the money from chilren and adults we get the summary profit of park (it is equal to 970 dollars)

1.5x+ 1420-4x= 970

1420-2.5x= 970

x=180- children

355-180=175adults

c = 175

Step-by-step explanation:

When the height of a right triangle is shown this way (at right angles with the hypotenuse, It can be found by using the way the hypotenuse is broken up. The following proportion works.

576/x = x / 49          Cross multiply

x^2 = 576 * 49

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(576*49)

x = 24 * 7

x = 168

But that's not what you want (although it is close).

What you want is the hypotenuse to the small lower triangle

c = ?

a = 49

b = 168

c^2 =  49^2 + 168^2

c^2 = 2401 + 28224

c^2 = 30625

c = sqrt(30625)

c = 175

Blair & Rosen (B&R) plc is a U.K. based brokerage firm that specializes In building investment portfolios designed to meet the specific needs of its clients who are mostly private investors willing to invest their r savings in stocks and shares. One client who contacted B&R recently has a maximum of $500,000 to invest. The company`s investment advisor has decided to recommend the portfolio consisting of two investment funds: An internet fund where the companies are all active in internet businesses of one kind or another and the blue-chip fund which is more conservative and traditional. The internet fund has a projected annual return over the next few years of 12 %, while the blue-chip fund has a projected annual return of 9%. The investment advisor has decided that at most, $350,000 of the client`s funds should be invested in the internet fund. B&R services include risk rating for each investment alternative. The internet fund which is more risky of the two alternatives has a risk rating of 6 for every thousand dollar invested while the blue-chip fund has a risk rating of 4 per thousand dollar invested. So, for example, if $10000 is invested in each of the two investments funds, B&R risk rating for the portfolio would be 6(10) + 4(10)= 100. Finally B&R has developed a questionnaire to measure each client`s risk tolerance. Based on the responses, each client is classified as conservative, moderate or aggressive investor. The questionnaire results have classified the current client as a moderate investor. B&R recommends that a client who`s a moderate investor limit his or her portfolio to a maximum risk rating of 240.
