Answer from: Dolphin56

$15.46-2.998\frac{0.307}{\sqrt{8}}=15.13$

$15.46+2.998\frac{0.307}{\sqrt{8}}=15.79$

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (15.13;15.79)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

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

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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

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

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=15.46$

The sample deviation calculated s=0.307

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.01,7)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.998$

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

$15.46-2.998\frac{0.307}{\sqrt{8}}=15.13$

$15.46+2.998\frac{0.307}{\sqrt{8}}=15.79$

So on this case the 98% confidence interval would be given by (15.13;15.79)

Answer from: Quest

the final price would be 29.6925

step-by-step explanation:

39.59 minus 25% equals 29.6925

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation: the answer is 27. first multiply .32 by 25 which equals 8. then add 8 to 25 which gives you 33. then you subtract that from 6 since she gave 6 to her brother.
