Answer:

The number of business students that must be randomly selected to estimate the mean monthly earnings of business students at one college is 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean is:

 CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error for this interval is:

 MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>σ</em> = $569

MOE = $140

Confidence level = 95%

<em>α</em> = 5%

Compute the critical value of <em>z</em> for <em>α</em> = 5% as follows:

 z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}  

       n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma}{MOE}]^{2}

          =[\frac{1.96\times 569}{140}]^{2}\\\\=63.457156\\\\\approx 64

Thus, the number of business students that must be randomly selected to estimate the mean monthly earnings of business students at one college is 64.

(-2,-1)(-1,2)(0,3)(1,4)(2,5) A: Function B: Not a function​
kupik [55]

Answer:

This answer is a function because there are no repeating x values. It is okay if there are repeating y values, the x values are the problem. This one has no repeats though so it is a function!

Question
leva [86]

Answer:

1800 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation here to represent the exponential growth in Terry's bank account.

y = 1600(1.04)^x

We can plug in 3 for x since x is the # of years the account is receiving compound interest on.

y = 1600(1.04)^3

1.04^3 = 1.124864\\1.124864*1600= 1800
