Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate:. (a) find the critical value t Subscript alpha divided by 2 tα/2,
(b) find the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by 2 zα/2, or
(c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies. Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: n equals = 236, x overbar x equals = 30.3 hg, s equals = 7.2 hg. The confidence level is 95%.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. t Subscript alpha divided by 2 tα/2 equals = nothing (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
B. z Subscript alpha divided by 2 zα/2 equals = nothing (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
C. Neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.

B. z Subscript alpha divided by 2 zα/2 = 1.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that we want to construct a confidence interval. For this, the summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls:

n = 236, = 30.3 hg, s = 7.2 hg. The confidence level is 95%.

As we can clearly see here that the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is also very large.

It has been stated that when the population standard deviation is unknown, we should use t-distribution but since the sample size is very large so we can use z distribution also as it is stated that at very large samples; the t-distribution corresponds to the z-distribution.

Here, = level of significance = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 or 5%

          = 0.025 or 2.5%

So, the value of in the z table is given as 1.96 with a 2.5% level of significance.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !

i believe the answer is d.

hope it you! : d
