A human resource manager for a large company takes a random sample of 60 employees from the company database. Based on the sampl

e she calculates a 95% confidence interval for the mean time of employment for all employees to be 8.7 to 15.2 years. Which of the following will provide a more informative (i.e., narrower) confidence interval than the 95% confidence interval?
A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)
B. Using a 99% confidence level (instead of 95%)
C. Using a sample size of 40 employees (instead of 60)

Answer:

A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)

D. Using a sample size of 90 employees (instead of 60)

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by:

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The higher the margin of error, the less precise the confidence interval is.

We have:

A 95% confidence interval, with a sample of 60.

We want to make it more precise:

Two options, decrease z(decrease the confidence level), or increase n(increase the sample size).

So the correct options are:

A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)

D. Using a sample size of 90 employees (instead of 60)

Second = 8\ blocks east

Determine the shortest possible distance

To better explain my solution, I've added an attachment that illustrates her movement.

Using the attachment as a point of reference, the shortest distance is calculated by calculating the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem.

So, we have:

x^2 = 6^2 + 8^2

x^2 = 36 + 64

x^2 =100

Take positive square root of both sides

x = \sqrt{ 100

x = 10

Q1. Find the measure of angle 1. Show your work.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

1. 110°

2. 139°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 180° in a triangle

180 - 40 - 30 = 110°

2. 180° in a triangle

angles on a straight line add up to 180°

180 - 64 - 75 = 41°

180 - 41 = 139°

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y =-1\3
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Hello!

If a you want to find an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line, we must know that if two lines are parallel, then their slope will <em>always</em> have to be equal.

This means that the new equation must have a slope of -1/3.

Also, you would need to substitute the given point (6, 8) into the equation with the slope: -1/3 as well. Following these steps allows you to find the equation of line.

y = -1/3x + b (6, 5)

5 = -1/3(6) + b

5 = -2 + b (add 2 to both sides)

7 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -1/3x + 7.
