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.

A recent survey of
Serga [27]

Answer:

The total number of students in a survey is 300.

Let the number of junior male(JM) be x and the number of senior males(SM) be y.

Let the number of junior female(JF) be p and the number of senior males(SF) be q.

It is given that there are 160 males, 80 junior females, 130 seniors.

Since number of males are 160. So the number of females are,

300-160=140

Since number of junior females is 80.

JF+SF=140\\80+SF=140\\SF=60

Since number of seniors are 130.

SM+SF=130\\SM+60=130\\SM=70

Since number of males is 160.

JM+SM=160\\JM+70=160\\JM=90

Therefore, the table and venn diagram is shown below.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The probability that you would choose lemon-lime and then orange is 3/11 =.273.  

Step-by-step explanation:

These are 'dependent events', which mean that your the event is affected by previous events.  So, because you have eleven total bottles (five lemon-lime and six orange) and you do not replace the first bottle, that would only leave you with ten bottles remaining.  The probability that you will pick the lemon-lime on the first choice is 5/11 because all of the bottles are there.  However, your second choice will only include ten total bottles since you already took one.  The probability that you would choose orange would be 6/10.  When you multiply these two fractions and reduce to simplest form, you get 3/11.
