The manager of a grocery store has selected a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 customers to check out was 3.0 minutes. It is known that the standard deviation of the checkout time is 1 minute. Refer to Exhibit 8-2. If the confidence coefficient is reduced to .80, the standard error of the mean .

The standard error of the mean remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The standard error (S.E) of the mean with is independent of confidence coefficient.

The margin of error

This explains the claim that as the confidence coefficient reduces, the z-value also reduces, so as the Margin of error (E) but the standard error will always remain unchanged.  

i.e.

From the question;

sample size n = 100

standard deviation = 1

mean = 3.0

The standard error (S.E) of the mean

= 0.1

So, if the confidence coefficient is reduced to 0.80, the standard error of the mean remains unchanged.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
