Answer:
(B) The correct interpretation of this interval is that 90% of the students in the population should have their scores improve by between 72.3 and 91.4 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval is the range the true values fall in under a given <em>confidence level</em>.
Confidence level states the probability that a random chosen sample performs the surveyed characteristic in the range of confidence interval. Thus,
90% confidence interval means that there is 90% probability that the statistic (in this case SAT score improvement) of a member of the population falls in the confidence interval.
It's A, increased by a factor of 6.
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 13/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line will be a negative reciprocal. When you rewrite 2x-7=8 into slope-intercept form, you get y=2x-8. The negative reciprocal of the slope 2x is -1/2x. There is only one option with this slope. If you're still not sure then you can use a graphing calculator to check this. An online one would be desmos
Answer:
x = 26
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 17)° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles in a straight line)
Solve for x
5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180
Collect like terms
5x + 3x - 17 - 11 = 180
8x - 28 = 180
Add 28 to both sides
8x = 180 + 28
8x = 208
Divide both sides by 8
x = 208/8
x = 26
Also:
(2y + 5)° + 90° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles on a straight line)
Plug in the value of x and solve for y
2y + 5 + 90 + 3(26) - 11 = 180
2y + 5 + 90 + 78 - 11 = 180
Collect like terms
2y + 162 = 180
Subtract 162 from both sides
2y = 180 - 162
2y = 18
y = 9 (dividing both sides by 2)
