B. 175.6 -13.9 O C. 175.6 + 13.9
OD. (161.7.189.5)


Sagot :

According to the confidence interval given, the non-equivalent expression is:

A. [tex]161.7 \pm 13.9[/tex]

The interval given is:

[tex]161.7 \leq \mu \leq 189.5[/tex]

Which can also be written as: (161.7.189.5)

The point estimate is the halfway point of the interval, hence:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{161.7 + 189.5}{2} = 175.6[/tex]

The margin of error is half the difference of the bounds, hence:

[tex]M = \frac{189.5 - 161.7}{2} = 13.9[/tex]

According to the point estimate and to the margin of error, the interval can also be written as:

[tex]175.6 - 13.9 \leq \mu \leq 175.6 + 13.9[/tex]

[tex]175.6 \pm 13.9[/tex]

Hence, the only expression which is non-equivalent is:

A. [tex]161.7 \pm 13.9[/tex]
