For many important processes that occur in the body, direct measurement of characteristics of the process is not possible. In many cases, however, we can measure a biomarker, a biochemical substance that is relatively easy to measure and is associated with the process of interest. Bone turnover is the net effect of two processes: the breaking down of old bone, called resorption, and the building of new bone, called formation. A biomarker for bone formation measured was osteocalcin (OC), measured in the blood. The units are nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). For the 31 subjects in the study the mean was 33.4 ng/ml. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be 19.6 ng/ml. Required:
Give the margin of error and find a 95% confidence interval for the mean TRAP amount in young women represented by this sample.

The margin of error is  

The 95% confidence interval is    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  =  31

     The mean is  

      The standard deviation is  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

=>  

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

=>  

=>  

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

=>

=>  

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

the correct answer is d

hope this
