It is known that the highest weekly average price for gasoline in California during 2005 was $3.15 per gallon and the lowest wee

kly average price for gasoline in California during 2005 was $2.56. Use this information to estimate the standard deviation of the weekly average price for gasoline in California during 2005. The standard deviation is ($3.15-2.56) / 6. I was wondering why you divide by 6?

Answer:

$0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we apply the Range rule for estimating Standard deviation.

By the Range Rule:

Standard Deviation

Highest weekly average price for gasoline= $3.15 per gallon.

Lowest weekly average price for gasoline =$2.56 per gallon.

Therefore:

\text{Standard Deviation}\approx \dfrac{3.15-2.56}{4} \\=\dfrac{0.59}{4} \\\\=\$0.15 $(correct to the nearest cent).

The standard deviation of the weekly average price for gasoline is approximately $0.15.

NOTE: You divide by 4 not 6.

maksim [4K]
The sample size of the confidence interval test of a proportion is considered appropriately large if np and n(1 - p) > 5.

<span>Given that Arthur is conducting a study on the preferred study options of students from East County College and that 25% of those surveyed preferred studying abroad. Thus, p = 25% = 0.25 and 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

np = 32(0.25) = 8

n(1 - p) = 32(0.75) = 24

Thus, the sample size is appropriately large.

The margin of error is given by:

</span>\pm z_{ \alpha /2} \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }
<span>
The </span>z_{ \alpha /2} for 95% confidence interval is 1.96

Thus, the margin of error is given by:

\pm1.96 \sqrt{ \frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{32} } =\pm1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.25(0.75)}{32}}  \\  \\ =\pm1.96 \sqrt{ \frac{0.1875}{32} } =\pm1.96 \sqrt{0.005859375}  \\  \\ =\pm1.96(0.0765)=\pm0.15

Therefore, the statement that holds true is "a<span>s the sample size is appropriately large, the margin of error is ±0.15".</span>
