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.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of the cakes is 60 divided by 4 which is 15. That goes to Helen

20 go to Sue

so far, he has given away 35 cakes out of the 60

18. Find the inverse of {(4, -1), (3, -2), (6, 9), (8, 5)}.
nadezda [96]
An inverse function will simply reverse the coordinate pairs of the original function.  If f(x)=(x,y), f^-(x)=(y,x).

So 18 is H

...

If f(x)=y=3x-4, to find the inverse function, solve for x, and then reverse the labels as seen below...

y=3x-4

y+4=3x

(y+4)/3=x so the inverse function is:

y=(x+4)/3
