Answer:
Should be D.
I don't know why it won't let me respond with under 20 characters.
Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97. But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,
μ = 97
Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions. This means the standard deviation of the average x is
σ = 17/√n
We want to be 95% certain
97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5
By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that
μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ
Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve
2σ = 5
2 (17/√n) = 5
√n = 2 (17/5)
n = (34/5)² = 46.24
We better round up.
Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean
Hey there!
If we use pemdas:
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplicatiom
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtractiom
We know we have to evaluate the exponent first. Two to the rid power is equal to 8. Therefore, we have:
2 - 4/2 + 8
Next, we do the division. -4/2 = -2, so we have:
2-2 + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8
Hope this helps!
#9 is yes because 12 is double 6. 6+6=12 I don't know #10. Sorry!
