Suppose you are interested in determining if the average amount of money that students spend on food at your university per day

is greater than $30. You randomly choose 25 students from your campus and calculate that the mean amount of money spent per day is $18.01 with a standard deviation of $2.22. What is the standard error of the mean?

Answer:

<u>The standard error of the mean is 0.444</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for solving the question:

Size of the sample = 25

Mean amount of money spent per day = US$ 18.01

Standard deviation  =  US$ 2.22

2. For finding the standard error of the mean, we use the following formula:

Standard error = Standard deviation / √Size of the sample

Standard error = 2.22 / √25

Standard error = 2.22 / 5

<u>Standard error = 0.444</u>

3. Interpretation of the standard error:

The standard error is "the standard deviation of the population of values of a sample statistic in a repeated sampling or its estimate".

Thus, the potential for error in the reported result is not more than ± 0.444 (68% confidence) or no more than 1.96 times the standard error (0.444) = ± 0.87 (at 95% confidence).

1.Give one number that makes the inequality x + 7 &gt; 20 true

1. Any number above 13 works. Why? Because 20-7=13, and to be greater than 20, you must add a number larger than 13.

Examples: 14+7 > 20, 30+7 > 20, 100+7 > 20

2. Any number below 25/3 (which is also 8.3 with a repeating 3) works. Why? Because 25/3=8.3 with a repeating 3, and to remain less than 25, you must multiply by a number less than 8.3 with a repeating 3.

Examples: 3(8) < 25, 3(5) < 25, 3(0) < 25

3. 4 buses. 1 bus will hold 60 students, 2 will hold 120, 3 will hold 180, and 4 will hold 240. The question is trying to trick you into putting now 3.3333333333... buses because that's what 200/60 is, but there is no such thing as a third of a bus. So you need at least 4 buses. (There will be an extra 40 spaces for passengers on the 4th bus, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 200/60 and got 3.3 with a repeating 3. You must round to the higher whole number. Rounding down to 3 buses leaves you with 20 students without a bus.

4. 19 boxes. 18 boxes will only hold 288 candies. The question is trying to trick you into putting down 18.75 boxes because that's what 300/16 is, but there is no such thing as 75% of a box. So you need at least 19 boxes. (There will be an extra 4 spaces for candies in the 19th box, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 300/16 and got 18.75. You must round to the higher whole <span>number. Rounding down to 18 boxes leaves you with 12 candies without a box.</span>

Can someone help me find this arc, please.​
alexira [117]

Answer:

Arc AC = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Postulate:

The measure of an arc will ALWAYS be equal to the measure of the central angle of the circle.

The angle of arc AC is marked with a square.

That square mark means it is 90°.

So the arc would also measure 90°.

Cheers
