Confidence Intervals

Dr Patton is a professor of English. Recently he counted the number of misspelled words in a group of student essay. For his class of 40 students, the mean number of misspelled words was 6.05 and the standard deviation 2.44 per essay. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of misspelled words in the population o ...continues

Estimations

Describe the method used to estimate the sum, difference, product, or quotient. Then describe a better method and revise the estimate. 1) 362 - 118 ≈ 400 - 100 = 300 2) 19 x 2 ≈ 20 x 0 = 0 3) 148 + 138 ≈ 100 + 100 = 200 4) 305 ÷ 16 ≈ 300 ÷ 20 = 15

Estimates

Writing: You want to know whether 5 hours is enough time to read a book for class. To be sure you finish, should your estimate of the number of pages you can read per hour be high or low? Explain the reasoning.

You are mailing 19 packages. It costs between $9 and $12 to mail each package. Estimate the total cost. Explain the method.

Short Response: You are mailing 19 packages. It costs between $9 and $12 to mail each package. Estimate the total cost. Explain the method.

Estimates: Which estimate should give a high estimate? Which estimate should give a low estimate?

Suppose you estimate the quotient 472 ÷ 58 using 500 ÷ 50 and using 420 ÷ 60. Which estimate should give a high estimate? Which estimate should give a low estimate? Explain the reasoning.
