Answer:

98% confidence interval for the average age of all students is [24.302 , 25.698]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 36 students at a community college showed an average age of 25 years.

Also, assuming that the ages of all students at the college are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.8 years.

So, the pivotal quantity for 98% confidence interval for the average age is given by;

             P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample average age = 25 years

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 1.8 years

            n = sample of students = 36

            \mu = population average age

So, 98% confidence interval for the average age, \mu is ;

P(-2.3263 < N(0,1) < 2.3263) = 0.98

P(-2.3263 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.3263) = 0.98

P( -2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.98

P( \bar X - 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < \bar X +2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.98

98% confidence interval for \mu = [ \bar X - 2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } , \bar X +2.3263 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                                  = [ 25 - 2.3263 \times {\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{36} } , 25 + 2.3263 \times {\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{36} } ]

                                                  = [24.302 , 25.698]

Therefore, 98% confidence interval for the average age of all students at this college is [24.302 , 25.698].

Find x value for the point that splits segment co in halt point c is located at 4) and point D is located at (3,7)
VLD [36.1K]
Okay to split a segment in half you just need to find the midpoint of the two endpoints.  Mathematically this is just the average of the coordinates of the endpoints which is:

mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

Which in this case is:

mp=((-2+3)/2, (4+7)/2)

mp=(1/2, 11/2)

mp=(0.5, 5.5)

So the x-coordinate by itself is just 0.5, or answer c.
