A random sample of 8 recent college graduates found that starting salaries for architects in New York City had a mean of $42,653

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)

-7x - 2y = 19<br> 4x + y = -12<br> Solve the system
nalin [4]

-7x - 2y = 19

4x + y = -12

Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)

-7x - 2y = 19

8x + 2y = -76

Add equations together

x = -52

Plug x value into an equation

4(-52) + y = -12

Solve for y

-208 + y = -12

y = 196

Hope this helps! ;)

I need help!!! I’ll mark you brainliest<br> This is timed!!
devlian [24]

Answer:

Using the inverse composition rule you know that if (fog)=x and (gof)=x then the functions are inverses.

( g o f ) = ( 7 x + 1 ) − 1 7  this will result in (gof)=x ( f o g) = 7 x − 1 7 +1 = x − 1 + 1 =x

graphically you can check this if it seems that the functions are reflected over the line x=y.

Enter the equation of the circle described below.<br> Center (5,2), radius = 3
Arada [10]

Answer:

(x - 5)² + (y - 2)² = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r the radius

Here (h, k ) = (5, 2 ) and r = 3 , then

(x - 5)² + (y - 2)² = 3² , that is

(x - 5)² + (y - 2)² = 9
