A consumer rights advocate wants to determine the lifetime of a certain type of tablet computer. She randomly selects a sample of 29 of these tablets, and calculates the mean and standard deviation to be

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A consumer rights advocate wants to determine the lifetime of a certain type of tablet computer. She randomly selects a sample of 29 of these tablets, and calculates the mean and standard deviation to be x = 6.7 years and s = 2.3 years. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean lifetime (in years) of this type of tablet.

Solution:

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard deviation = 2.3

n = number of samples = 29

x = 6.7

From the information given, the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is small, hence, we would use the t distribution to find the t score

In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.

df = n - 1 = 29 - 1 = 28

Since confidence level = 95% = 0.95, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

the area to the right of z0.025 is 0.025 and the area to the left of z0.025 is 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at the t distribution table,

t = 2.048

Margin of error = 2.048 × 2.3/√29

= 0.87

the lower limit of this confidence interval is

6.7 - 0.87 = 5.83

the upper limit of this confidence interval is

6.7 + 0.87 = 7.57

Therefore, we are 95% confident that true mean lifetime of a certain type of tablet computer lies between 5.83 years and 7.57 years

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse

where did you get them? if you picked from the grass, is is probably poisonous.
