Answer from: alejachico2

98% Confidence interval: (4.144 ,4.498)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

4.751, 4.373, 4.177, 4.676, 4.425, 4.228, 4.125, 4.251, 3.951, 4.192, 4.291, 4.414

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where x_i are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{51.854}{12} = 4.321$

Sum of squares of differences = 0.5602

$s = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.5602}{11}} = 0.226$

98% Confidence interval:

$\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 11 and}~\alpha_{0.02} = \pm 2.718$

$4.321 \pm 2.718(\frac{0.226}{\sqrt{12}} ) = 4.321 \pm 0.1773 = (4.144 ,4.498)$

Answer from: haily13

98% confidence interval for the mean rate = [4.1437 , 4.4983]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the interest rates (annual percentage rates) for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage from a sample of lenders in Macon, Georgia for one day ;

4.751, 4.373, 4.177, 4.676, 4.425, 4.228, 4.125, 4.251, 3.951, 4.192, 4.291, 4.414

Now, Firstly we will find Mean of above data, Xbar ;

Mean, Xbar = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$ = $\frac{4.751 +4.373+ 4.177+ 4.676+ 4.425+ 4.228+ 4.125 +4.251 +3.951 +4.192+ 4.291 +4.414}{12}$ = 4.321

Standard deviation, s = $\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X-Xbar)^{2} }{n-1} }$ = 0.226

Now, the pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the mean rate is;

P.Q. = $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }}$ ~ t_n_-_1

where, Xbar = sample mean

s = sample standard deviation

n = sample size = 12

So, 98% confidence interval for the mean rate, $\mu$ is ;

P(-2.718 < t_1_1 < 2.718) = 0.98

P(-2.718 < $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }}$ < 2.718) = 0.98

P(Xbar - 2.718 * ${\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }}$ < $\mu$ < Xbar + 2.718 * ${\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }}$ ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [Xbar - 2.718 * ${\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }}$ , Xbar + 2.718 * ${\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }}$ ]

= [4.321 - 2.718 * ${\frac{0.226}{\sqrt{12} }}$ , 4.321 + 2.718 * ${\frac{0.226}{\sqrt{12} }}$ ]

= [4.1437 , 4.4983]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the mean rate = [4.1437 , 4.4983]

Answer from: Quest

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
