Atest for the level of potassium in the blood is not perfectly precise. moreover, the actual level of potassium in a person's blood varies slightly from day to day. suppose that repeated measurements for the same person on different days vary normally with sigma equals 0.02.

a) julie's potassium level is measured once. the result is x-bar = 3.4. give a 90% confidence interval for her mean potassium level.

Thank you for posting your question here at . I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Below is the solution:

(a) x bar = 3.
n = 1
std = 0.2
z value = 1.645

3 plus/minus 1.645 (0.2/(sqrt1))

Interval = [3.07, 3.73]

How would you like us to answer that question?

Like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
