$3.3048-1.83\frac{0.132}{\sqrt{10}}=3.2284$

$3.3048 +1.83\frac{0.132}{\sqrt{10}}=3.3812$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (3.2284;3.3812)

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

Data: 3.087 3.131 3.241 3.241 3.270 3.353 3.400 3.411 3.437 3.477

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 $\bar X=3.3048$

The sample deviation calculated s=0.132

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

df=n-1=10-1=9

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.83$

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

$3.3048-1.83\frac{0.132}{\sqrt{10}}=3.2284$

$3.3048 +1.83\frac{0.132}{\sqrt{10}}=3.3812$

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (3.2284;3.3812)

answer: x = 3 + √11 and x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11 and x = 3 - √11
