Answer #1

Solution :

Given that,

a = 25

b = 35

P(x < c) = (c - a) / (b - a)

P(x < 32.5) = (32.5 - 25) / (35 - 25)

P(x < 32.5) = 0.75

    A gasoline station owner wanted to estimate the mean number of gallons sold per customer. He selected a random sample of 60 customers and found a mean of 8.6, with a Standard Deviation of 2.3. What would be the 95% Confidence Interval for his sampling? 8.6 +/- 1.96 (2.3/sq rt 60) = 8.6 +/- 1.96 (2.3/7.75) = 8.6 +/- 0.58 = 8.02 to 9.18 So there is a 95% probability that the true mean of gallons purchased would be between...
