Private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses. Much o

f tis moeny is put int a fund called an endowment, and the college spends only the interest earned by the fund. A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars): 60.2, 47.0, 235.1, 490.0, 122.6, 177.5, 95.4, and 222.0. Summary statistics yield X-bar (aka the mean)= 180.975 and S = 143.042.
a.) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean endowment of all the private colleges in the United States assuming a normal distribution for the endowments.

b.) Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean endowment of all the private colleges in the United States assuming a normal distribution for the endowments.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses

A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars)

Mean = 180.975 and std dev s = 143.042

Assuming a normal distribution we have 95% critical value is 1.96 and 99% critical value is 2.58

a) 95% Conf interval = Mean ±1.96* std error

=(180.975-1.96(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} } ,180.975+1.96(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} })\\= (81.851, 280.098)

Since sample size is very small confidence interval is wider.

b) 99% Conf interval = Mean ±2.58* std error

=(180.975-2.58(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} } ,180.975+2.58(\frac{143.042}{\sqrt{8} })\\= (50.50,311.45)

Since sample size is very small confidence interval is wider.

3x-6y=6 in function notation
JulijaS [17]
Subtract 3x from both sides:

-6y = -3x + 6

divide both sides by -6 to get y by itself:

y = 1/2x - 1

function notation is rewriting y as a function:

f(x) = 1/2x -1

The circumference of a circle is 3.14 inches. Find the radius of the circle in inches. Round to the nearest whole number. Justif
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is:

pi * d

3.14 = 3.14*d

1 = d

Since the radius is 1/2 of diameter, r = 0.5

The altitude above sea level of an airplane just after taking off from an airport on a high plateau is given by the linear funct
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Slope, m = 1100

y-intercept,c = 2491                                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

y(x) = 1100x + 2491

The above gives the altitude of the airplane above the sea level in feet(y) after x minutes since the take off.

Comparing the above equation, to a general linear equation, we have,

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Comparing we get,

Slope, m = 1100

y-intercept,c = 2491

Interpretation:

  • The slope of equation tells us about the rate of change of function with unit increase in value of x. Thus, the altitude of airplane increases 1100 feet when the time increases by 1 minute.
  • The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Thus, the altitude of airplane is 2491 feet when the airplane has not taken off.
