A sample of students from an introductory psychology class were polled regarding the number of hours they spent studying for the

last exam. All students anonymously submitted the number of hours on a 3 by 5 card. There were 24 individuals in the one section of the course polled. The data was used to make inferences regarding the other students taking the course. There data are below:
4.5 22 7 14.5 9 9 3.5 8 11 7.5 18 20 7.5
9 10.5 15 19 2.5 5 9 8.5 14 20 8

Answer:

8.68,13.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hint- First we have to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sample and then applying formula for confidence interval we can get the values.

Mean of the sample is,

\mu=\dfrac{\sum _{i=1}^{24}a_i}{24}=\dfrac{262}{24}=10.92

Standard deviation of the sample is,

\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum _{i=1}^{24}\left(x_i-10.92\right)^2}{24-1}}=5.6

The confidence interval will be,

=\mu \pm Z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Here,

Z for 95% confidence interval is 1.96, and n is sample size which is 24.

Putting the values,

=10.92 \pm 1.96\cdot \dfrac{5.6}{\sqrt{24}}

=10.92 \pm 2.24

=8.68,13.16

Confidence interval is used to express the degree of uncertainty associated with a sample.

95% confidence interval means that if we used the same sampling method to select different samples and calculate an interval, we would expect the true population parameter to fall within the interval for 95% of the time.

Age If you add Natalie's age and Fred's age, the result is 40. If you add Fred's age to 4 times
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Fred is 28 yrs old. Nathalie is 12yrs old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nathalie's age be x

Let Fred's age be a

x+a=40 yrs•••••1

4x+a=76yrs•••••2

a=40-x

Substitute a for 40-x in equation (2)

4x+40-x=76

3x=76-40

3x=36

x=12

a=40-12

a=28

mr_godi [17]
With the information given, we can set up the following system of equations:

x + y = 895
x - y = 177

x represents how many songs Jennie has, and y represents how many songs Diamond has.

HELP PLEASE! whats the height and base??
ddd [48]

Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the bottom left triangle = 4x3/2 = 6

Bottom right = 6x3/2 = 9

Top right = 3x4/2 = 6

Top left = 6x3/2 = 9

6+9+6+9 = 30

Each square unit is 4

So the answer should be 30/4 = 7.5

Hope this is correct

Can someone help me with E please I don’t know what operation to use

The first question asks who sold more rolls. So start with figuring out how many Christie sold.
5 total - 1 2/3 left = 3 1/3 sold
you can convert the numbers to improper fractions with the same denominator. Like this:
5 x (3/3) - (3+2)/3
15/3 - 5/3 = 10/3
10/3 = 3 1/3

So now we know Christie sold more because 3 1/3 dozen is more than 2 1/2 dozen.

The part asks how many more.. Subtract the amounts the two girls sold.

3 1/3 - 2 1/2
10/3 x (2/2) - 5/2 x (3/3)
20/6 - 15/6 = 5/6

Christie sold 5/6 dozen more rolls. A dozen is 12 rolls so if you wanted to go further you just multiply 12 x 5/6 = 10 rolls
