There are two types of mechanical waves: Transverse and Longitudinal. Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. They have two parts: the crest, which is the highest point; and the trough, which is the lowest point. Longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave. They have two parts: compressions, areas where particles of the medium are close together; and refractions, areas where those particles are far apart. Mechanical waves need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. They look like a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. Examples are UV, Radio, and light. I hope that helps!

kvasek [131]

Answer

given,

SAT is 500 with a standard deviation of 100.

a sample of 400 students whose family income was between $70,000 and $80,000 had an average verbal SAT score of 511.

sample mean = \dfrac{standard\ deviation}{\sqrt{n}}

                      = \dfrac{100}{\sqrt{400}}

                      = 5

95% confidence level is achieved within +/- 1.960 standard deviations.

1.960 standard deviations  x  5 is equal to +/- 9.8

confidence interval = 511 - 9.8   ---  511 + 9.8

                                = 501.2-----520.8
