Answer:

College students' annual earnings is betweeen $2,514.33 and $3,907.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first, let´s introduce the formula that we need to use in order to find out the lower and higher limit of the interval.

HigherLimit=Average+Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

LowerLimit=Average-Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

Now, the only problem here is to find Z(alpha/2), so, let´s define that. Alpha is the remeining area of the normal distribution curve that is out of the limit, in other words, in this case, we need the 98% confidence interval, that means that 2% of the probs are going to be out of the range, therefore, this 2% is alpha. Since we need that the same area is removed from the left and right side of the uniform distribution curve, we need to find the value of Z in the uniform curve distribution table for 1% (that is 2%/2) and due to symmetry, we can now find the values of the interval (this means that we need the value of Z for 0.99, that is 2.33). Now, let´s find out the lower and higher limit of this interval.

HigherLimit=3,211+(2.33)\frac{897}{\sqrt{9} }=3,907.67

LowerLimit=3,211-(2.33)\frac{897}{\sqrt{9} }=2,514.33

So, the college students´annual earnings are between $2,514.33 and $3,907.67 with 98% of confidence.

15.09 ÷ 0.01 = ?<br> 267.4 ÷ 1/10 = ?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Dividing by a fraction is multiplying by the reciprocal

15.09/1/100=15.09*100=1509

267.4/1/10=267.4*10=2674

A bird leaves its nest and travels 18 miles per hour downwind for x hours. On the return trip, the bird travels 3 miles per hour
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

distance down wind

d - 6 = distance back

time = distance ÷ speed

x = d/20

x = (d - 6)/(16)

so d/20 = (d - 6)/16. Cross multiply

20d - 120 = 16d

-120 = -4d

30 = d so the whole trip assuming the bird gets back to the starting point is 60 miles
