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.

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities? {x+y<12 y≥x−4
RSB [31]

Answer: The graph in the bottom right-hand corner

(see figure 4 in the attached images below)

===========================================

Explanation:

Let's start off by graphing x+y < 1. The boundary equation is x+y = 1 since we simply change the inequality sign to an equal sign. Solve for y to get x+y = 1 turning into y = -x+1. This line goes through (0,1) and (1,0). The boundary line is a dashed line due to the fact that there is no "or equal to" in the original inequality sign. So x+y < 1 turns into y < -x+1 and we shade below the dashed line. The "less than" means "shade below" when y is fully isolated like this. See figure 1 in the attached images below.

Let's graph 2y >= x-4. Start off by dividing everything by 2 to get y >= (1/2)x-2. The boundary line is y = (1/2)x-2 which goes through the two points (0,-2) and (4,0). The boundary line is solid. We shade above the boundary line. Check out figure 2 in the attached images below.

After we graph each individual inequality, we then combine the two regions on one graph. See figure 3 below. The red and blue shaded areas in figure 3 overlap to get the purple shaded area you see in figure 4, which is the final answer. Any point in this purple region will satisfy both inequalities at the same time. The solution point cannot be on the dashed line but it can be on the solid line as long as the solid line is bordering the shaded purple region. Figure 4 matches up perfectly with the bottom right corner in your answer choices.

Given that f(x) =
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Answer is b or 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is that you will just plug in all the answers in x and the answer has to match 15.

So...

2(10) - 5 = 15

15 = 15

This is true so the answer is 10.
