A random sample of 10 observations was selected from a normal population distribution. The sample mean and sample standard deviations were 20 and 3.2, respectively. A 95% prediction interval for a single observation selected from the same population is

18.0167≤x≤21.9833

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

sample size n = 10

standard deviation s = 3.2

Sample mean = 20

z-score at 95% = 1.96

Confidence Interval = x ± z×s/√n

Confidence Interval = 20 ± 1.96×3.2/√10

Confidence Interval = 20 ± (1.96×3.2/3.16)

Confidence Interval = 20 ± (1.96×1.0119)

Confidence Interval = 20 ±  1.9833

CI = {20-1.9833, 20+1.9833}

CI = {18.0167, 21.9833}

Hence the required confidence interval is 18.0167≤x≤21.9833

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

the first term is 6.

the common difference d = ?

when you find d, replace n with 7 and d with the common difference to find your answer.
