Rent and other associated housing costs, such as utilities, are an important part of the estimated costs of attendance at colleg

e. A group of researchers at the BYU Off-Campus Housing department want to estimate the mean monthly rent that unmarried BYU students paid during winter 2018. During March 2018, they randomly sampled 314 BYU students and found that on average, students paid $346 for rent with a standard deviation of $86. The plot of the sample data showed no extreme skewness or outliers. Calculate a 96% confidence interval estimate for the mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in winter 2018.

Answer:

96% confidence interval estimate for the mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in winter 2018 is  [335.89 , 356.10].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of researchers at the BYU Off-Campus Housing department want to estimate the mean monthly rent that unmarried BYU students paid during winter 2018.

During March 2018, they randomly sampled 314 BYU students and found that on average, students paid $346 for rent with a standard deviation of $86.

So, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the average age is given by;

           P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = average rent paid by 314 BYU students = $346

            s = sample standard deviation = $86

            n = sample of students = 314

            \mu = population mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students

So, 96% confidence interval for the population mean monthly rent, \mu is ;

P(-2.082 < t_3_1_3 < 2.082) = 0.96

P(-2.082 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.082) = 0.96

P( -2.082 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.082 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.96

P( \bar X -2.082 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X +2.082 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.96

96% confidence interval for \mu = [ \bar X -2.082 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X +2.082 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                                = [ 346 -2.082 \times {\frac{86}{\sqrt{314} } } , 346 +2.082 \times {\frac{86}{\sqrt{314} } } ]

                                                = [335.89 , 356.10]

Therefore, 96% confidence interval estimate for the mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in winter 2018 is [335.89 , 356.10].

harina [27]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the number in exponential form with the base of 2:

{2}^{x - 3}  =  {2}^{ - 3}

Since the bases are the same, set the exponents equals.

x - 3 =  - 3

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

x = 0

A square patio has an area of 200 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?
Jlenok [28]
Area (square)=side²
therefore:
side²=200 feet²
side=√(200 feet²)=14.142 feet≈14.1 feet.

solution: side of square=14.1 feet.
