Question
Finding the confidence interval at either 90%, 95% or 99% for the mean given the mean and standard deviation of a sample. The population variance is not given and so the t test has to be used. Various scenarios are included.
-
Question
Differentiate the function $f(x)=(a + b x)^m e ^ {n x}$ using the product rule. Find $g(x)$ such that $f^{\prime}(x)= (a + b x)^{m-1} e ^ {n x}g(x)$.
