A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 280 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel

chains. There were 177 responses. The average time these 177 general managers had spent with their current company was 12.39 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.7 years.)
(a) Find the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years
(b) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years
(c) In general, increasing the confidence level the margin of error (width) of the confidence interval.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

we have the following data:

Point estimate = sample mean = \ bar x = 12.39

Population standard deviation = \ sigma = 3.7

Sample size = n = 177

a) the margin of error with a 90% confidence interval

α = 1 - 90%

alpha = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10

alpha / 2 = 0.05

Z \ alpha / 2 = Z0.05 = 1,645

Margin of error = E = Z \ alpha / 2 * (\ sigma / \ sqrtn)

we replace:

E = 1.645 * (3.7 / \ sqrt177)

Outcome:

E = 0.46

b) margin of error with a 99% confidence interval

α = 1-99%

alpha = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

alpha / 2 = 0.005

Z \ alpha / 2 = Z0.005 = 2,576

Margin of error = E = Z \ alpha / 2 * (\ sigma / \ sqrtn)

we replace:

E = 2,576 * (3.7 / \ sqrt177)

Outcome:

E = 0.72

c) A larger confidence interval value will increase the margin of error.

Find the area of a square with apothem 9 in. Round to the nearest whole number.
Lynna [10]
The apothem is the line from the center of the polygon (square) to the midpoint of a side.

So, if the apothem is 9in, the length of the side is 2 * 9in = 18 in.

And, the area of the square is (length of the side)^2 = (18 in)^2 = 324 in^2

Answer: 324 n^2

The tape diagram shows that there are 155 155155 poems in a collection. A tape diagram with one tape split into 6 equal parts. T
madam [21]

The percentages in this problem are defined as follows:

  • 155 poems: 100% of 155 poems.
  • 31 poems: 20% of 155 poems.
  • 186 poems: 120% of 155 poems.

<h3>How to calculate the percentages?</h3>

A percentage is calculated as the division of the number of desired outcomes by the number of total outcomes, which is then multiplied by 100% to convert the proportion to a percentage.

From the tape diagram given at the end of the answer, the total number of outcomes is given as follows:

155 poems.

Hence the percentage of 155 poems is of:

155/155 x 100% = 100%.

The percentage of 31 poems is of:

31/155 x 100% = 20%.

The percentage of 186 poems is of:

186/155 x 100% = 120%.

<h3>Missing Information</h3>

The tape diagram is given by the image shown at the end of the answer.

What is 3,130,649 rounded to the nearest hundred ?
Readme [11.4K]


When you need to round a number. First you need to look at the placement number that the question is asking to round to the nearest. In this case it's the nearest hundred.

3,130,<u>6</u>49 the 6 is in the hundreds place. Now look to the number to the right of that number 3,130,6<u>4</u>9 that's the number that tells you if you will round up or down. If the number is 5 or more you round up, if it's less than 5 you round down.

In this case the 4 is less than 5 so you round down.

So your answer would be <u>3,130,600</u><u />

Hope this helps. :)
