Answer: 24.67 ≤ μ ≤ 27.33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given: n = 81 students, Sample mean (x bar) = 26 and sample standard deviation (s) = 6.

Since the population standard deviation in unknown we use the student t distribution to estimate the mean. The mean is estimated as follows:

X bar - t (∝/2, n-1) x s/sqrt n ≤ μ ≤ X bar + t (∝/2, n-1) x s/sqrt n

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 81 - 1 = 80

∝ = 100 - 95 = 5% = 0.05   thus ∝/2 = 0.025

From the t distribution t (0.025,80) = 1.990

Substituting into the formula:

26 - 1.990 x 6/sqrt 81 ≤ μ ≤ 26 + 1.990 x 6/sqrt 81

24.67 ≤ μ ≤ 27.33

Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

      5c – 20 ≤ 15c + 10

<=> 5c - 15c ≤ 20 + 10

<=>-10c ≤ 30

<=> c ≥ -3

Evaluate quantity the square root of 36 times 3 squared minus the cube root of negative 64 end quantity divided by 2 squared.
abruzzese [7]

\cfrac{\sqrt{36}\cdot 3^2-\sqrt[3]{-64}}{2^2}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{6^2}\cdot 3^2-\sqrt[3]{(-4)^3}}{2^2}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 3^2-(-4)}{2^2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{6\cdot 9-(-4)}{4}\implies \cfrac{54-(-4)}{4}\implies \cfrac{54+4}{4}\implies \cfrac{58}{4}

notice, PEMDAS

groups first, then Exponents, then Multiplication and Division from left-to-right, then Addition and Subtraction from left-to-right last.
