According to a recent survey, the population distribution of number of years of education for self-employed individuals in a c

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) X: number of years of education

b) Sample mean = 13.5, Sample standard deviation = 0.4

c) Sample mean = 13.5, Sample standard deviation = 0.2

d) Decrease the sample standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 13.5 years

Standard deviation,σ = 2.8 years

a) random variable X

X: number of years of education

Central limit theorem:

If large random samples are drawn from population with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , then the distribution of sample mean will be normally distributed with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

b) mean and the standard for a random sample of size 49

$\mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 13.5\\\\\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{49}} = 0.4$

c) mean and the standard for a random sample of size 196

$\mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 13.5\\\\\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{196}} = 0.2$

d) Effect of increasing n

As the sample size increases, the standard error that is the sample standard deviation decreases. Thus, quadrupling sample size will half the standard deviation.

The ability to find a job after graduation is very important to GSU students as it is to the students at most colleges and unive

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: (0.8468, 0.8764)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

$\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

, where $\hat{p}$ = sample proportion.

z* = Critical value

n= Sample size.

Let p be the true proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation.

Given : Sample size = 3597

Number of students believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation= 3099

Then, $\hat{p}=\dfrac{3099}{3597}\approx0.8616$

We know that , Critical value for 99% confidence interval = z*=2.576 (By z-table)

The 99 % confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation will be

$0.8616\pm(2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8616(1-0.8616)}{3597}}$

$0.8616\pm (2.576)\sqrt{0.0000331513594662}$

$\approx0.8616\pm0.0148\\\\=(0.8616-0.0148,\ 0.8616+0.0148)=(0.8468,\ 0.8764)$

Hence, the 99 % confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation. = (0.8468, 0.8764)

The value of the solid’s surface area is equal to the value of the solid’s

Katen [24]

Answer:

1. x = 15 in

2. x = 8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given:

length = 10 in

width = 3 in

height = x in

surface area of the rectangular prism = its volume

Required:

Value of x

Area = 2(wl + hl + hw)

Volume = l*w*h

Therefore:

2(3*10 + x*10 + x*3) = 10*3*x

2(30 + 10x + 3x) = 30x

2(30 + 13x) = 30x

60 + 26x = 30x

Subtract 26x from both sides

60 + 26x - 26x = 30x - 26x

60 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

60/4 = 4x/4

15 = x

x = 15 in

2. Given:

length = 8 m

width = 4 m

height = x m

surface area of the rectangular prism = its volume

Required:

Value of x

Area = 2(wl + hl + hw)

Volume = l*w*h

Therefore:

2(4*8 + x*8 + x*4) = 8*4*x

2(32 + 8x + 4x) = 32x

2(32 + 12x) = 32x

64 + 24x = 32x

Subtract 24x from both sides

64 + 24x - 24x = 32x - 24x

64 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

64/8 = 8x/8

8 = x

x = 8 m

What is the equation of a line that passes through point R(−4, −3) and has a slope of 7?

Ymorist [56]

M = 7 is the given slope
(x,y) = (-4,-3) is the given point

Turn to slope-intercept form and use these values to find b

y = mx+b
-3 = 7(-4)+b ... plug in the given values
-3 = -28+b
-3+28 = -28+b+28
25 = b
b = 25

since we know that m = 7 and b = 25, the equation y = mx+b turns into y = 7x+25

The final answer is choice A

izzy orders gloves for the 36 players on the teams combined. Izzy estimates that 10% of the players are left handed so he orders

Alja [10]

Answer:

It will not be enough as it should have been 4 left handed gloves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Izzy estimates 10% of the players are left handed so he orders 3 left handed gloves will not be enough because of the following:

10% of 36 is 3.6

36 * 10 / 100 = 3.6

Therefore taking the estimation 3.6 is equal 4
