Suppose that the researchers wanted to estimate the mean reaction time to within 6 msec with 95% confidence. Using the sample st

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (509.592;550.308)

b) n=523 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

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".

$\bar X=530$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean

s=70 represent the sample standard deviation

n=48 represent the sample size (variable of interest)

Confidence =95% or 0.995

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The degrees of freedom are df=n-1=48-1=47

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,47)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.01$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$530-2.01\frac{70}{\sqrt{48}}=509.692$

$530+2.01\frac{70}{\sqrt{48}}=550.308$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (509.592;550.308)

Part b

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

Assuming that $\hat \sigma =s$

And on this case we have that ME =6msec, and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval is provided, $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.96(70)}{6})^2 =522.88 \approx 523$

So the answer for this case would be n=523 rounded up to the nearest integer

The following table shows the salary of 7 people in an office last year.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

a. £24,714.29

b. £16,833.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of mean income is given below:-

Mean income = Total addition of salaries ÷ Number of workers

= £9,500 + £25,000 + £13,250 + £72,000 + £12,750 + £29,500 + £11,000

= £173,000 ÷ 7

= £24,714.29

Now,

the Mean income excluding Deva's salary:

= Formula of Mean income

= Total addition of salaries excluding Deva salary ÷ Number of workers

= (£9,500 + £25,000 + £13,250 + £12,750 + £29,500 + £11,000) ÷ 6

= £101,000 ÷ 6

= £16,833.33

Rectangle ABCD with coordinates A(1,1), B(4,1), C(4,2) and D(1,2) dilates with respect to the origin to give rectangle A’B’C’D’.

Delvig [45]

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the distance AB with the formula for calculate the distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Then, substituting the coordinates of the points A(1,1) and B(4,1), you get:

$AB=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(1-1)^2}=3$

You know that A'B'=6, then the scale factor of dilation can be calculated with:

$k=\frac{A'B'}{AB}$

Substituting values, you get:

$k=\frac{6}{3}\\\\k=2$

This matches with the option C.
