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 value of X. Then find the measure of each labeled angle.
wariber [46]
Both angles WILL have the same measure.

So,

3x-10= x+40 (you have to set the equations equal to one another)


Now, add 10 to both sides.

3x=x+50

Subtract x on both sides.

2x=50

Divide both sides by 2.

x=25

Now, plug in x.

(25 +40)= 65

(3(25)-10)= 65

x equals 25 and both angles are equal to 65. Or "B".

I hope this helps!

Determine if the two figures are congruent and explain your answer using transformations.
Maslowich

The coordinate A(-1, 1) reflected over y-axis is (1, 1) is the coordinate of E, hence the two figures are congruent

  • The given figures are quadrilaterals, in order to determine whether they are similar, we need to check if they are reflections of each other.

  • For the Quadrilateral ABCD, the coordinate of A is at A(-1, 1)  and for the Quadrilateral DEFG, the coordinate of E is at E(1, 1).

  • Note that if an object is reflected over the y-axis the transformation is (x, y)->(-x, y)

  • We need to check whether if we reflect the coordinate A over the y-axis we will get coordinate E

Since the coordinate A(-1, 1) reflected over y-axis is (1, 1) is the coordinate of E, hence the two figures are congruent
