"How much do students pay, on average, for textbooks during the first semester in college? From a random sample of 400 students

the mean cost was found to be $357.75 ,and the sample standard deviation was $37.89. Assuming that the population is normally distributed, find the margin of error of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Compute the confidence interval and describe in words what it means."

Answer: The margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sample size = 400

Mean = $357.75

Standard deviation = $37.89

At 95% confidence level, z = 1.96

We first find the margin of error.

Margin of error is given by

z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1.96\times \dfrac{37.89}{\sqrt{400}}\\\\=3.71

95% confidence interval would be

\bar{x}\pm \text{margin of error}\\\\=357.75\pm 3.71\\\\=(357.75-3.71,357.75+3.71)\\\\=(354.04,361.46)

Hence, the margin of error = 3.71, confidence interval = (354.04, 361.46) and it means that mean cost is lies within the confidence interval.

Please help me with this. What is the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 5x-2y=11?
kari74 [83]
The slope of a line parallel to another line must have the same slope as the other line. So therefore, we just want to first find the slope of this line.

To do this, we can switch it to slope intercept form, which is y = mx + b.

-2y = -5x + 11

Notice that the y doesn't have a variable next to it in slope intercept form. This means you have to divide all the sides to -2 to cancel out that -2.

-2y = -5x + 11
/-2     /-2     /-2

y = 5/2x + 11/-2

Since in the equation, y = mx + b, the number in the position of m = the slope, we know that 5/2 is the slope.

So therefore, the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 5x - 2y = 11 must be 5/2.
