Solution

The correct sequence in finding the length of the confidence interval is C. III,I,II,IV,V.

Here's why:

III. Write the given data: This is the first step because you need to know what data you are working with. In this case, the mean average price is ₱800, the standard deviation is ₱75, and the sample size is 160 pairs of shoes.

I. Compute for the margin of error: The margin of error is calculated using the standard deviation and the sample size. It gives you the range in which the true population mean is likely to be.

II. Compute for the upper and lower limit of the confidence interval: Once you have the margin of error, you can calculate the upper and lower limits of the confidence interval by adding and subtracting the margin of error from the sample mean.

IV. Write the confidence interval: After calculating the upper and lower limits, you can write the confidence interval.

V. Compute for the length of the confidence interval: The length of the confidence interval is the difference between the upper and lower limits.

Compute the margin of error at a 95% confidence level. (Round final answer to 2 decimal places.)

To estimate the average study hours of all students taking QM at Dawson College using the given data set, we need to calculate the margin of error (ME) and the confidence interval bounds at the 90% confidence level. Given: - Sample size (\( n \)) = 53- Mean (\( \bar{x} \)) = 5.434- Standard deviation (\( s \)) = 2.422### Step-by-Step Calculation: #### e) Margin of Error (ME) at the 90% confidence level: 1. **Find the critical value (z\(_{\alpha/2}\)) for a 90% confidence level:** - For a 90% confidence level, \(\alpha = 0.10\), so \(\alpha/2 = 0.05\). - The critical value (z\(_{\alpha/2}\)) for 90% confidence is approximately 1.645. 2. **Calculate the standard error (SE):** \[ SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{2.422}{\sqrt{53}} \approx 0.332 \] 3. **Calculate the margin of error (ME):** \[ ME = z_{\alpha/2} \times SE = 1.645 \times 0.332 \approx 0.546 \] #### f) Lower Bound (LB) at the 90% confidence level: \[ LB = \bar{x} - ME = 5.434 - 0.546 \approx 4.888\] #### g) Upper Bound (UB) at the 90% confidence level: \[ UB = \bar{x} + ME = 5.434 + 0.546 \approx 5.980\] ### Summary of Results: - **Margin of Error (ME):** 0.546- **Lower Bound (LB):** 4.888- **Upper Bound (UB):** 5.980These calculations provide the 90% confidence interval for the average study hours of all students ta

(c)For the mileage values in this sample, 36.4 thousand miles is more extreme than 25.3 thousand miles is, that is, 36.4 is farther from the sample mean mileage than 25.3 is. How would the 90% confidence interval for the mean used selling price when the mileage is 36.4 thousand miles compare to the 90% confidence interval for the mean used selling price when the mileage is 25.3 thousand miles? The intervals would be identical. The interval computed from a mileage of 36.4 thousand miles would be narrower and have a different center. The interval computed from a mileage of 36.4 thousand miles would be wider but have the same center. The interval computed from a mileage of 36.4 thousand miles would be narrower but have the same center. The interval computed from a mileage of 36.4 thousand miles would be wider and have a different center.
