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)

Let x be the length of each row.
Denver can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings leftover.
Total number of seeds he has = 3x+2 Denver can plant 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty.
Total number of seeds he has = 4x-3 Using (i) and (ii), we get= 3x+2=4x-3

Isolate variable terms: 2+3=4x-3

Explain how 4/10÷2 and 4/10×1/2 both equal 2/10.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you are taking (4/10) and dividing it by 2.  you have a fraction over a fraction.  if you remember what you do to the top part of the equation you do to the bottom.  so we want to get rid of dividing by 2.  (multiple by the reciprocal)  the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2.  that will cancel out the bottom part of the equation but what you do to the bottom you have to do to the top.  so,  (4/10) * 1/2 is the same as (4/10) divided by 2. hope that makes sense.  it's much easier to write out then type math...
