Think I know the answer, but can someone please confirm...
Find the value of a that corresponds to a confidence level of 84%.
Answer: 0.16???
We'll need to know rather more about what that "a" is supposed to be - but I don't think your answer is correct. Whatever "a" is, the answer is unlikely to be just 1-0.84, which I suspect is how you've calculated it.
Sorry, I didn't use the symbol
Find the value á that corresponds to a confidence level of 84%
possible answers are 0.16, 16, .84 and 0.016
I still don't understand what "a" or "á" is supposed to represent here. Can you define it please?
A is the symbol used, its not coming through when I type the question. I am not sure what the symbol a is suppose to represent either. I will send my professor an email, hopefully she can provide clarification on this question. Thanks for trying to help me...
To find the value of "a" that corresponds to a confidence level of 84%, we need to use the concept of the z-score or standard score. The z-score is a measure of how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. The z-score is typically used in hypothesis testing and determining confidence intervals in statistics.
In this case, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to a confidence level of 84%. A confidence level of 84% means that the area under the standard normal distribution curve between the mean and the z-score is 0.84.
To find this z-score, we can use a standard normal distribution table or a statistical calculator. Using a table, locate the value of 0.84 in the body of the table. The corresponding z-score for a cumulative area of 0.84 is approximately 1.036.
Therefore, the value of "a" that corresponds to a confidence level of 84% is 1.036.
Please note that this assumes we are working with a standard normal distribution. If the distribution is not standard, you may need additional information to determine the value of "a".
