AARP reported on a study conducted to learn how long it takes individuals to prepare their federal income tax return (AARP Bulle

tin, April 2008). The data contained in the WEBfile named TaxReturn are consistent with the study results. These data provide the time in hours required for 40 individuals to complete their federal income tax returns. Using past years' data, the population standard deviation can be assumed known with σ = 11 hours.What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean time it takes an individual to complete a federal income tax return? Round your answer to one decimal place.____ to ___ hoursReturn Preparation Time(Hours)35.330.537.426.513.049.928.844.061.60.540.534.947.936.624.139.847.818.536.639.214.537.340.549.345.528.319.55.652.641.445.339.033.729.414.540.133.736.95.633.7

Answer:

Confidence interval: (30.1,36.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

35.3,30.5,37.4,26.5,13.0,49.9,28.8,44.0,61.6,0.5,40.5,34.9,47.9,36.6,24.1,39.8,47.8,18.5,36.6,39.2,14.5,37.3,40.5,49.3,45.5,28.3,19.5,5.6,52.6,41.4,45.3,39.0,33.7,29.4,14.5,40.1,33.7,36.9,5.6,33.7

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1339.9}{40} = 33.5

S.D = 11(given)

n = 40

Confidence interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

33.5 \pm 1.96(\frac{11}{\sqrt{40}} ) = 6.34 \pm 3.4 = (30.1,36.9)

What’s the answer and how did you get it? i’m confused
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you should put the gh with gh, 2  is equivalent to 2 (so the 2 disappeared) and you only have 8-7=1 plus 2=3.

A family of 17 are trying to get back to their island for Christmas when disaster strikes – their ship hits a rock and will sink
wlad13 [49]
Answer: 13

Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.

First trip:

5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.

So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.

Second trip:

In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.

When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.

This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 +  5 = 13

A cable company charges $35 for basic subscription and $4 per premium channel. Write a function rule that represents the money c
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

c = 4x + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine c = cost

$35 is base price so you add that to whatever else you spend.

Let x = number of channels you buy. ($4/CHANNEL)

so cost is equal to $4*channels plus 35

Therefore

c = 4x+35
