The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 business travelers is selected and each traveler is asked to provide a rating for the Miami International Airport. The ratings obtained from the sample of 50 business travelers follow.

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean rating is (5.73, 6.95).

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sample:

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=6.34.

The sample size is N=50.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

The t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 49 degrees of freedom is t=2.01.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (5.73, 6.95).

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
