Total coins in the jar = 50. Number of coins with a value less than $0.05 = 20 (the pennies). ... Probability of picking a penny = 20/50 = 40%. ... 'Odds' = 3 to 2 against it.

Given that a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all adult males in Idaho measured in inches was [62.532, 76.478]. Us
grigory [225]

Answer:

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n represent the sample size  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505
