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].

In order to apply the law of sines to find the length of the side of a triangle, it is enough to know which of the following?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

We must have two angles and a side.

A is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

For any triangle ABC,  the law of sine is given by

\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}

From this formula it is clear that in order to find the length of the side of the triangle, we must have two angles and a side.

Let us understand this by assuming that we need to find a (length of the side). From the formula, we have

\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}\\\\a=\frac{b\sin A}{\sin B}

Thus, to find the length a, we must have b, sin A and sin B.

Hence, o find the length of the side of the triangle, we must have two angles and a side.

How can you quickly determine the number of roots a polynomial will have by looking at the equation?
Goryan [66]
First, you need to get delta which is b squared minus 4ac. If delta is higher than cero, the polynomial has two solutions, if it is less, the polynomial has no real solutions and if it is the same, it has one solution.
