A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, “About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknig

ht?” The mean response of the 463 students was = 118 minutes with a standard deviation of 65 minutes in the population of all first-year students at this university. Create a 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students. Assume all necessary assumptions and conditions apply given the large sample size. Interpret your interval in context.

Answer:  (110.22, 125.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

\mu\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size = 463

\mu=118\text{ minutes}

\sigma=65\text{ minutes}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=\pm2.576

We assume that the population is normally distributed.

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

118\ \pm\ 2.576\times\dfrac{65}{\sqrt{463}} \\\\\approx118\pm7.78=(118-7.78\ ,\ 118+7.78)=(110.22,\ 125.78)

Hence, 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students = (110.22, 125.78)

In the figure, VW || YZ. Find the value of x, and the measure of YA and WA.
svetoff [14.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

because VW || YZ, the 2 triangles are similar.

this is given by the rules of equal angles of intersecting lines with parallel lines. Z to V and Y to W would be such intersecting lines.

and therefore, the angle at W is the angle at Y, the angle at V is the angle at Z. and therefore both angles at A are equal.

so, for similar triangles the scaling factor between corresponding pairs of sides is the same for all sides.

e.g. the same scaling factor that converts 7.2 to 12, converts then also x to x+4.

7.2 × f = 12

f = 12/7.2 = 12/ 72/10 = 120/72 = 10/6 = 5/3

x × 5/3 = x + 4

5x = 3x + 12

2x = 12

x = 6

A to Y = x = 6

W to A = x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
