The average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog is $1,843 (US News and World Report, September 9,

2013). The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used. Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with σ ? = $255. a. What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval of the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for this breed (to 2 decimals)? b. The DATAfile Setters contains data collected from fifty owners of Irish Setters on the cost of the first year of owning and caring for their dogs. Use these data sets to compute the sample mean (to 2 decimals). Using this sample, what is the 95% confidence interval for the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for an Irish Red and White Setter (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

a. Error is 0.14

b. between 1913.68 to 1772.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Requirement a)

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results.

Given,

Size of the sample n = 50

We know, At 95% confidence interval,

The margin of error,

= 0.98/√n  

= 0.98/√50

= 0.98/7.07

= 0.13859 ~ 0.14

So the margin of error at 95% confidence level is 0.14.

Requirement b)

Given,

Standard deviation σ = 255

Population mean z = 1814

Size of the sample n = 50

We know, At 95% confidence interval,

(z-µ)/(σ/√n)  < Z_0.05

= - Z_0.05 < (z-µ)/(σ/√n) < Z_0.05

= - 1.96 * σ/√n < (z-µ)/(σ/√n)*  σ/√n  < 1.96 * σ/√n  [ in two tail Z test the value of Z_0.05 is 1.96 ]

= - 1.96 * 255/√50 < Z-µ <  1.96 * 255/√50

= -70.6828 < Z-µ < 70.6828

= 70.6828 > µ - Z > -70.6828

= 70.6828 + Z > µ > -70.6828 + Z

= 70.6828 + 1814 > µ > -70.6828 + 1814

=1913.68 > µ > 1772.32

So, the sample mean would be between 1913.68 to 1772.32.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

90%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are going to find out the percent of the car that do not have 4 wheel drive, you take the total amount of car that passed though the stoplight which is 100% . You take this 100% and then subtract the 10% to get the final answer 90%. 90% of the cars do not have 4 wheel drive.

your parents are buying a house for 187 500 they have a good credit rating are making a 20% down payment and expect to pay $1,57
bogdanovich [222]
For the answer to the question above, $187,500 is a cost of a house. 20%, or $37,500 is the down payment. The loan amount would be $187,500 - $37,500 = $150,000. If we assume the annual rate of the loan is 4.65% Then the monthly rate would be 4.65%/12 = 0.3875% If the loan is $150,000, the interest is 0.3875% The interest for the first month is $150,000 * 0.3875% = $581.25. You stated that their payment is $1,575. So the amount that pays off the loan is $1,575 - $581.25 = $993.75. At the end of the month, they owe $150,000 - $993.75 = $149,006.25 and for the second month, the amount of the payment that goes towards interest is $149,006.25 * 0.3875% = $577.40. and the amount that goes towards the loan is $997.60.

At the end of the second month, they owe $148,008.65. Regarding they realized income, we recommend a monthly loan payment not to exceed 28% of the monthly income.
So if a payment of $1,575 is 28% of Gross,
Then it must be
: $1,575 = 0.28*Gross. Gross = $5,625 monthly.
About $67,500 annually. About $33.75 an hour.

In Lixue's garden, the green pepper plants grew 5 inches in 34 month. At this rate, how many feet can they grow in one month? (L
grin007 [14]

Answer:

22/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In Lixue's garden, the green pepper plants grew 5 inches in 3/4 month.

We need to find how many feet can they grow in one month.

Let 5 inches = 5 1/2 feet

It means,

The growth in 3/4 month = 5 inches = 11/2 feet

Growth in 1 month = \dfrac{\dfrac{11}{2}}{\dfrac{3}{4}}=\dfrac{22}{3} feet

So, it will grow 22/3 feet in a month.
