Determine 9) used to construct a confidenice intervalL Assume that Qcres A) Use the t-distribution. B) Cannot use normal distribution or C) Use normal distribution.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-
1) option A) +/- 1.88

2) option C) 1.73

=> Z*sigma/sqrt(n) = 1.645*11.5/sqrt(120) = 1.7269

3) option A) ($142,$158)

=> X +/- Z*s/sqrt(n) = 150 +/- 1.645*36/sqrt(60) = (142.354 , 157.645)

4) option A) 82

=> n = (Z*sigma/E)^2 = (2.58*14/4)^2 = 81.54 = 82

5) option C) 2.131

6) option C) 1.78

=> M = 1.833*3.1/sqrt(10) = 1.7969 = 1.78

7) option B) (628.5,661.5)

=> x +/- t*s/sqrt(n) = 645 +/- 2.131*31/sqrt(16) = (628.485 , 661.515)

8) option C) use the t-distribution

9) option C) Use normal distribution
