and a standard deviation of $9,114. There are no outliers in the sample data set. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average starting salary of all architects in the city.
A. (35222.41, 50083.59)
B. (34506.12, 50799.88)
C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Answer:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

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 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

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 = 1.96*\frac{9114}{\sqrt{8}} = 6315.68

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42653 - 6315.68 = 36337.32.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42653 + 6315.68 = 48968.68.

So the correct answer is:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

What is the approximate positive value of the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of p(x)=5x^2-3 and q(x)=2x+1
Advocard [28]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 1.117

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the two equations:

p(x) = 5x² - 3

q(x) = 2x + 1

On the graph below, the positive point of intersection is at (1.117, 3.233).

Positive x-value = 1.117.

9/20 

A percentage is the same as showing a number over 100 and if we multiply 20 by 5 we get 100.  So if we multiply 9 by 5 we get 45, giving us 45/100 which can be shown as 45%.

As a decimal, well if we say 100% equals 1.0, then 45% equals 0.45

In the freshman class, 62% of the students take math, 49% take science, and 38% take both science and math. what percentage take
antoniya [11.8K]

we are given

62% of the students take math

so,

n(M)=62

49% take science

n(S)=49

38% take both science and math

n(M∩S)=38

now, we can use union formula

n(M∪S)=n(M)+n(S) -n(M∩S)

now, we can plug values

and we get

n(M∪S)=62+49 -38

n(M∪S)=73

so,

the percentage takes at least one science or math course is 73%..........Answer

Combine like terms, perform the operations with the coefficients of the variable, then write the variable.

10r - 5r + 3r - 8r

= 5r + 3r - 8r

= 8r - 8r

= 0
