The standard deviation for actuary salaries has a standard deviation of $36,730 . You collect a simple random sample of n=36 sal

aries and find that x bar = $111,000 . Use this information for both parts. Part 1: What is the lower limit of this 95% confidence interval? (Round to the nearest whole number)

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 111000, \sigma = 36730, n = 36

Hence, the lower bound of the interval is:

\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 111000 - 1.96\frac{36730}{\sqrt{36}} = 99002

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

Two sets of equatic expressions are shown below in various forms: Line 1: x2 + 3x + 2 (x + 1)(x + 2) (x + 1.5)2 − 0.25 Line 2: x
kherson [118]

Answer:  The correct line is

\textup{Line 1 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given the following two sets of quadratic expressions in various forms:

\textup{Line 1: }x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25,\\\\\textup{Line 2 :}x^2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)=(x+2.5)^2+6.25.

We are to select one of the lines from above that represent three equivalent expressions.

We can see that there are three different forms of a quadratic expression in each of the lines:

First one is the simplified form, second is the factorised form and third one is the vertex form.

So, to check which line is correct, we need to calculate the factorised form and the vertex form from the simplified form.

We have

\textup{Line 1: }\\\\x^2+3x+2\\\\=x^2+2x+x+2\\\\=x(x+2)+1(x+2)\\\\=(x+1)(x+2),

and

x^2+3x+2\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times 1.5+(1.5)^2-(1.5)^2+2\\\\=(x+1.5)^2-2.25+2\\\\=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.

So,

\textup{Line 1 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2-0.25.

Thus, Line 1 contains three equivalent expressions.

Now,

\textup{Line 2: }\\\\x^2+5x+6\\\\=x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\=x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\=(x+2)(x+3),

and

x^2+5x+6\\\\=x^2+2\times x\times 2.5+(2.5)^2-(2.5)^2+6\\\\=(x+2.5)^2-6.25+6\\\\=(x+2.5)^2-0.25\neq (x+2.5)^2+6.25.

So,

\textup{Line 2 :}x^2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)=(x+1.5)^2+6.25.

Thus, Line 2 does not contain three equivalent expressions.

Hence, Line 1 is correct.

Anyone I need help with this problem plss
Nady [450]

Answer:

About 1.23 standard deviation above the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we have here, we need to calculate the difference between the given value and the mean and divide by the standard deviation

That would be through calculating the z score as follows;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

where x is the given value

z-score = (87-71)/13 = 1.23

Since the score is bigger than the mean, the correct choice here is that the score is about 1.23 standard deviation above the mean
