The average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog is $1,843 (US News and World Report, September 9, 2013). The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used. Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with σ = $255. 1770 1902

(A) The margin of error = 70.68.

(B) 95% confidence interval for the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for an Irish Red and White Setter is [$1766.16, $1907.52].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog is $1,843 (US News and World Report, September 9, 2013). A sample of 50 will be used.

Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with σ = $255.

Let $\mu$ = population mean cost = $1,843

$\sigma$ = population standard devaition = $255

n = sample size = 50

(A) The Margin of error formula for a 95% confidence interval of the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for this breed is given by;

The margin of error = $Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

Here, $\alpha$ = level of significance = 1 - 0.95 = 5%

And the critical value of z at 2.5% ( $\frac{0.05}{2}$ ) level of significance is given as 1.96.

So, margin of error = $1.96 \times \frac{255}{\sqrt{50} }$ = 70.68.

(B) We are given with the data collected from fifty owners of Irish Setters on the cost of the first year of owning and caring for their dogs below;

1902, 2042, 1936, 1817, 1504, 1572, 1532, 1907, 1882, 2153, 1945, 1335, 2006, 1516, 1839, 1739, 1456, 1958, 1934, 2094, 1739, 1434, 1667, 1679, 1736, 1670, 1770, 2052, 1379, 1939, 1854, 1913, 2163, 1737, 1888, 1737, 2230, 2131, 1813, 2118, 1978, 2166, 1482, 1700, 1679, 2060, 1683, 1850, 2232, 2294.

Firstly, we have to calculate the mean of this above data, i.e;

Sample Mean, $\bar X$ = $\frac{\sum X_i}{n}$ = $\frac{91842}{50}$ = 1836.84

95% confidence interval for the mean cost ( $\mu$ ) of the first year of owning and caring for an Irish Red and White Setter is given by;

= $\bar X \pm \text{Margin of error}$

= [1836.84 - 70.68 , 1836.84 + 70.68]

= [1766.16 , 1907.52]

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the mean cost of the first year of owning and caring for an Irish Red and White Setter is [$1766.16 , $1907.52].

The magnitude, m, of an earthquake is defined to be m=log l/s, where i is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and s is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. what is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 1,000 times more intense than a standard earthquake? use a calculator. round your answer to the nearest tenth.
