Suppose that the numbers of residents in zip codes are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. The numbers of residents of 50 randomly sampled zip codes are used to estimate the mean of the population. What t-score should be used to find the 99% confidence interval for the population mean?

Step-by-step explanation:

The required t score would be determined from the t distribution table. In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.

df = n - 1 = 50 - 1 = 49

Since confidence level = 99% = 0.99, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

the area to the right of z0.005 is 0.005 and the area to the left of z0.005 is 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Looking at the t distribution table,

t score = 2.678

answer: haha (: i’ll go see what it is

step-by-step explanation:

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
