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.

Which of the following can be represented by the expression 2 ➗ (1/3)? a. Faye has 2 yards of twine and uses (1/3) yard to tie a
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: C. She is dividing the entire length into shorter lengths.

The rest of the question would be "How many pieces will she get?"

Step-by-step explanation:

A would be a subtraction problem UNLESS it goes on to ask "how many 1/3 yard pieces can she cut?"

It's a subtraction problem if it's about "how many yards are left?"

B is just backwards and makes no sense with the expression given.

A series of equal quarterly payments of $10,000 for 15 years is equivalent to what future worth amount at an interest rate of 6%
kogti [31]

Answer:

  $976,578.71

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the deposits are made at the <em>beginning</em> of each quarter. The quarterly interest rate is 6%/4 = 1.5%. The number of quarterly payments is 15×4 = 60. The future value of an annuity due is ...

  A = P(1+r)((1+r)^n -1)/r

where r is the quarterly interest rate, n is the number of payments, and P is the payment amount.

  A = $10000(1.015)(1.015^60 -1)/.015 ≈ $976,578.71

The future value is $976,578.71.

Point D is the center of the given circle.What is the measure of arc AC?
malfutka [58]
∠ABC is an inscribed angle.
In a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.  m∠ABC = 48°  ⇒
measure of arc AC = 2*m∠ABC = 2 * 48 = 96°.
