You measure 34 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 33 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 10.9 ounces. Based on this, what is the maximal margin of error associated with a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight

The maximal margin of error associated with a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight is 4.81 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

So

The maximal margin of error associated with a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight is 4.81 ounces

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
