Answer:

The sample mean is

b.3.55

The margin of error is

0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Deep explanation about a confidence interval

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*215 = 353.675

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 6.4 - 0.3944 = 6.01 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 6.4 + 0.3944 = 6.74 hours.

In this problem:

The deep explanation is not that important.

We just have to recognize that the interval has a lower end and an upper end. The distance from both the upper and the lower end to the mean is M. This means that the sample mean is the halfway point between the lower end and the upper end.

The margin of error is the distance of these two points(lower and upper end) to the mean.

In our interval

Lower end: 3.23

Upper end: 3.87

Sample mean

M = \frac{3.23 + 3.87}{2} = 3.55

So the correct answer is:

b.3.55

The margin of error is

3.87 - 3.55 = 3.55 - 3.23 = 0.32

Answer:

<em>D</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:On Saturdays. Eve earns $14. per hour for yard work and charges an extra amount for supplies/gas money to get there. Look at the table. Choose the linear function f Eve can use to determine her pay, where x is in hours and f(x) is her pay in dollars.

Answer: <em>The answer would be D because she gets payed $14 and hour so you would plug the hours she work into the letter x</em><em>.</em>

Answer:

  1. g(x) = 2|x|
  2. g(x) = -2|x|
  3. g(x) = -2|x| -3
  4. g(x) = -2|x-1| -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Vertical stretch is accomplished by multiplying the function value by the stretch factor. When |x| is stretched by a factor of 2, the stretched function is ...

  g(x) = 2|x|

__

2) Reflection over the x-axis means each y-value is replaced by its opposite. This is accomplished by multiplying the function value by -1.

  g(x) = -2|x|

__

3) As you know from when you plot a point on a graph, shifting it down 3 units subtracts 3 from the y-value.

  g(x) = -2|x| -3

__

4) A right-shift by k units means the argument of the function is replaced by x-k. We want a right shift of 1 unit, so ...

  g(x) = -2|x -1| -3
