Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

An educational psychologist wishes to know the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute.

Answer: 208.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the minimum sample size is given by :-

n= (\dfrac{z^*\times \sigma}{E})^2                                    (1)

, where z* = critical z-value (two tailed).                                                                      

\sigma = Standard deviation ( from prior study ) and E = Margin of error.

As per given , we have

Margin of error : E= 0.29

Confidence level = 85%

Significance level =\alpha=1-0.85=0.15

Using z-table , the critical value (two -tailed)=z^*=z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.15/2}=z_{0.075}=1.439

As per previous study , Variance =\sigma^2=8.41

\sigma=\sqrt{8.41}=2.9

Now, the required minimum sample size = n= (\dfrac{(1.439)\times (2.9)}{0.29})^2   [Substitute the values in formula (1)]

n=(14.39)^2

n=207.0721\approx208  [ Round to the next integer]

Hence, the minimum number of third graders that must be included in a sample = 208.
