Probability-and-statistics/621464: Interpret a 99% confidence interval of (5.355, 5.445) for a population mean.
A nursing school wants to estimate the true mean annual income of its alumni. It randomly samples 200 of its alumni. The mean annual income was $55,200 with a standard deviation of $1,500. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean annual income of the nursing school alumni. Write a statement about the confidence level and the interval you find.
An auditor wants to estimate what proportion of a bank's commercial loan files are incomplete. The auditor randomly samples 80 files and finds 12 are incomplete. Using a 95% confidence interval, estimate the true proportion of incomplete files for ALL the bank's commercial loans. Write a statement about the confidence level and the interval you find.

Hi,
Note: Bell shaped Curve showing placement of z = 0, z = ±1, 2, 3
Left or Right of z = 0 being 50% of the area under the standard normal curve...
The area under a normal curve = 1

As to: A set of data is normally distributed with a mean of 85 and SD of 4.59
x = 90
z = (90-85)/4.59 = 1.089
Exel function NORMSDIST(1.089) = .862 , 86.2% to the left and 13.8% to the right

As:a normal distribution with mu = 25 and sigma = 9, if z = -2,
then z = (x -25)/9 = -2, and x = -18 + 25 = 7

Hi,
Which of the following lines is equidistant fro the points
(3,8) and
(9,6) m = 2/-6 = -1/3 and y = (-1/3)x + 9
any line parallel to above line would be equidistant from these points.
D. y = (-1/3)x would be, same slopes m = (-1/3)

Hi,
A student randomly guesses on a 10 question true/false exam. Minimum threshold for a B grade is 80%.
Find the probablility the student gets at least a B on the exam.
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is:
P = nCx* p%5Ex%2Aq%5E%28n-x%29 where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.
In this case p & q are = 1/2 or .5
nCx = n%21%2F%28x%21%28n-x%29%21%29
P(x≥ 8) = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)
P(8) = 10C8(.5)^8(.5)^2 = 45(.5)^8(.5)^2 = .044
P(9) = 10C9(.5)^9(.5)^1 =10(.5)^9(.5)^1 = .01
P(10) = 10C10(.5)^10(.5)^0 =1*(.5)^10(.5)^0 = .001
P(x≥ 8) = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) = .055

For graphing:
2nd step: Which direction does the Parabola Open?
y = a(x-h)^2 + k is the general form of a parabola opening Up or Down, a = 1 > 0, parabola opens Up
3rd Step: what is the Line of symmetry: x = -1
Plotting Vertex and y-intercept and putting in the line of symmetry,
allows us to determine the graph
