Answer:

$x=45$ °

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle shown in the figure is known as an external angle.

Also, <u>in a regular polygon (like the regular octagon) the sum of all the exterior angles is the same regardless of the number of sides of the figure</u>:

$360$ °

And to find the measure of a single external angle (such as the angle $x$ shown in the figure) we must <u>divide 360 ° by the number of sides n:</u>

$\frac{360}{n}$

and for the regular octagon, since it has 8 sides:

$n=8$

so the value of x is:

$x=\frac{360}{n}\\ \\x=\frac{360}{8}\\ \\x=45$ °

the measure of angle x is 45° which is the second option

An SRS of 350 high school seniors gained an average of x¯=21 points in their second attempt at the SAT Mathematics exam. Assume

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a) $21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

b) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

c) $ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

d) D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

$\bar X=21$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=52$ represent the population standard deviation

n=350 represent the sample size

99% confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$21-2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=13.83$

$21+2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=28.17$

So on this case the 99% confidence interval would be given by (13.83;28.17)

Part b

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{350}}=7.17$

Part c

The margin of error is given by:

$ME=2.58\frac{52}{\sqrt{100}}=13.42$

Part d

As we can see when we reduce the sample size we increase the margin of error so the best option for this case is:

D. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same.

Assuming all other requirements are met, which of the following taxpayers do NOT qualify for the 2021 Earned Income Tax Credit?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Based on the information given, the person who doesn't qualify for the income tax credit will be A. Ivy, age 22, is single with no dependents. She is not a dependent of another person. She has wages of $6,500 and an investment income of $11,150.

It should be noted that the earned income tax credit is important as it helps low-income workers get a tax break.

From the options given, Ivy is the taxpayer that does not qualify for the 2021 Earned Income Tax Credit. This is because she's not a dependent of another person.
