Complete Question

A 95% confidence interval of 19.3 months to 47.5 months has been found for the mean duration of? imprisonment, ??,of political prisoners of a certain country with chronic PTSD.

a. Determine the margin of error, E.

b. Explain the meaning of E in this context in terms of the accuracy of the estimate.

c. Find the sample size required to have a margin of error of 13 months and a 99% confidence level.? (Use 38 months. for standard deviation )

d. Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean duration of? imprisonment, ??, if a sample of the size determined in part? (c) has a mean of 36.5 months.

E = 14.1

In this context E tell us that the true mean will lie within E = 14.1 of the sample mean

n =57

$23.514 < \mu < 49.486$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering question a

From the question we are told that

The upper limit is U = 47.5 months

The lower limit is L = 19.3 months

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{U - L }{2}$

=> $E = \frac{ 47.5 - 19.3 }{2}$

=> E = 14.1

Considering question b

In this context E tell us that the true mean will lie within E = 14.1 of the sample mean

Considering question c

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [ \frac{ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \sigma }}{ E} ]^2$

Here E is given as E = 13

Given that the confidence level is 99% then the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 )\%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

From the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.01 }{2} } = 2.58$

$n = [ \frac{2.58 * 38}{13}]^2$

=> n =57

Considering question d

From the question

The sample mean is $\= x = 36.5$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{n}$

=> $E = 2.58 * \frac{38 }{57}$

=> E = 12.986

Generally the 99% confidence interval for mean distribution is mathematically represented as

$36.5 - 12.986 < \mu < 36.5 + 12.986$

=> $23.514 < \mu < 49.486$

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

it would be see because your formula is f(x)=6x, so 6 times 1 is 6 and you go on and the best answer is c.

49 points me! it's a multiple choice, but still show your work so i know you're right. you so so

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
