Starting salaries of 135 college graduates who have taken a statistics course have a mean of $42,650. Suppose the distribution of this population is approximately normal and has a standard deviation of $8,988. Using a 93% confidence level, find both of the following:
(NOTE: Do not use commas nor dollar signs in your answers.)
(a) The margin of error:
(b) The confidence interval for the mean μ:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the margin error is [tex]1415.62189[/tex] and the confidence interval for the mean is [tex](41234.38,44065.62)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size [tex]n=135[/tex]

Sample mean [tex]\bar{x}=\$42,650[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]\sigma =\$8,988[/tex]

Confidence level is [tex]93\%[/tex]

(a)  

The margin error [tex]=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

 [tex]\because \alpha =1-[/tex]confidence level

     [tex]\Rightarrow \alpha=1-93\%=1-0.93[/tex]

     [tex]\Rightarrow \alpha=0.07\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{2}=0.035[/tex]

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=Z_{0.035}=1.83[/tex] from the [tex]z-[/tex]table

Now, the margin error[tex]=1.83\times \frac{8988}{\sqrt{135}}[/tex]

   [tex]=1415.62189[/tex]

(b)

The confidence interval for the mean [tex]\mu\\[/tex] :

    [tex](\bar{x}-\text{margin error},\bar{x}+\text{margin error})[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow (\bar{x}-1415.62189,\bar{x}+1415.62189)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow (42650-1415.62189,42650+1415.62189)\\\Rightarrow (41234.38,44065.62)[/tex]

How to graph 5a-6b=18

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a = \frac{ - 6}{5} b + \frac{18}{5} [/tex][tex]b = \frac{ - 5}{6} a + 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for a .

[tex]5a+6b=18[/tex]

Step 1: Add -6b to both sides.

[tex]5a+6b+−6b=18+−6b[/tex]

[tex]5a=−6b+18[/tex]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

[tex] \frac{5a}{5} = \frac{ - 6b + 18}{5} [/tex][tex]a = \frac{ - 6}{5} b + \frac{18}{5} [/tex]

Let's solve for b.

[tex]5a+6b=18[/tex]

Step 1: Add -5a to both sides.

[tex]5a+6b+−5a=18+−5a[/tex]

[tex]6b=−5a+18[/tex]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 6.

[tex] \frac{6b}{6} = \frac{ - 5a + 18}{6} [/tex][tex]b = \frac{ - 5}{6} a + 3[/tex]Hope it is helpful....

Lexi is hiking a trail that is 7.5 miles long. She stops to take a break after hiking 3.8 miles of the trail. Which equation can be used to find how many miles, m, Lexi has left to hike

Answers

Answer:

7.5 - 3.8 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be used to determine the number of miles (m) Lexi has left to hike will be m + 3.8 = 7.5.

What is subtraction?

It simply implies subtracting something from an entity, group, location, etc. Subtracting from a collection or a list of ways is known as subtraction.

Lexi is hiking a trail that is 7.5 miles long. She stops to take a break after hiking 3.8 miles of the trail.

Then the equation can be used to determine the number of miles (m) Lexi has left to hike will be

Let m be the number of miles left. Then we have

m + 3.8 = 7.5

Subtract 3.8 on both sides, then we have

m = 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, it has an area of 96

So lets find the multiplication pair that equals 96.

10 x 10 = 100        NO

6 x 16 = 96           YES

8 x 12 = 96           YES

Now we have two equations: 8 x 12 and 6 x 16

Perimeter of 40 means:

2(a+b) = 40

Lets input the two equations:

2(8+12) = 2 x 20 = 40

2(6+16) = 2 x 22 = 44

So the dimensions that works is 8 x 12

Which detail in the text best reflects the central idea of the passage? Dictatorships by Hal Marcovitz (excerpt from The Rise of Julius Caesar) Sulla was a brutal and relentless dictator. But one enemy who escaped his wrath was Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar was born in 100 BCE to a wealthy family. As a nephew of Sullas opponent Marius, Caesar found himself on Sullas list of enemies. No doubt he too would have been killed, but his family intervened, and Sulla reluctantly spared his life. Next, Sulla ordered Caesar to divorce his wife. Caesar refused and fled the city. He joined a Roman army campaigning in Turkey and did not return until after Sullas death in 78 BCE. After returning to Rome, Caesar involved himself in the political intrigues of the republic and began his rise to power. His chief adversary was Sullas son-in-law, the powerful general Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, known familiarly as Pompey. Instead of directly challenging Pompey, Caesar decided to bide his time. He struck an alliance with Pompey, who convinced the Senate to place Caesar in command of a Roman army. Under Caesar, the Romans conquered areas of modern France and Britain, as well as other parts of Europe. It was a campaign that would make Caesar an enormously heroic figure among the Roman people. As Caesar made his way back to Rome, the Senate ordered him to disband his army. Caesar refused. Instead, on January 10 in 49 BCE, Caesar led his army in an attack on Rome. As his army crossed the Rubicon River to reenter Italy, Caesar is said to have remarked, Let the dice fly high! Caesars ploy was not much of a gamble. His army easily swept aside his enemies, including his one-time ally, Pompey. Caesar marched into the city and declared himself dictator. After another four years of warfare in which he pursued his enemies across Europe and Africa, Caesar returned to Rome. He found the once-defiant senate now willing to bow down to his authoritarian power. The Roman senators elected Caesar dictator for 1. Choose the missing word.
