Using the t-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the average price of a home of this size in Newberry is of (142886, 196914), given by option D.

In this problem, we have the standard deviation for the sample, thus, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The sample mean is $\overline{x} = 169900$ .The sample standard deviation is s = 21756

.The sample size is n = 5

First, we find the number of degrees of freedom, which is the sample size subtracted by 1, so df = 5 - 1 = 4.

Then, we find the critical value for the 95% confidence interval with 4 df, which looking at the t-table or using a calculator is given by t = 2.7765.

The margin of error is:

$M = t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this case:

$M = 2.7765\frac{21756}{\sqrt{5}} = 27014$

The confidence interval is:

$\overline{x} \pm M$

Then

$\overline{x} - M = 169900 - 27014 = 142,886$ .

$\overline{x} + M = 169900 + 27014 = 196,914$ .

Thus, the correct option is D. (142886, 196914).

Answer from: bks53

D. (142886, 196914).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this question, we would use t score instead of z score. The reason is because, our sample size is small.

The formula for Confidence Interval =

C.I = Mean ± t score × standard deviation/√n

n = 5 samples

Degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 5 - 1 = 4

The t score for a 95% confidence interval with degrees of freedom 5 is : 2.776

Hence,

Confidence Interval =

169,900 ± 2.776 × 21,756/√5

169,900 ± 2.776 × 9.7295789837

169, 900 ± 27009.311259

Confidence Interval

169,900 - 27009

= 142886

169, 900 + 27009.311259

= 196914

Hence, the confidence interval = (142886, 196914)

Option D is the correct answer

Answer from: Quest

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
