Answer: the tuition in 2020 is $502300

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual tuition at a specific college was $20,500 in 2000, and $45,4120 in 2018. Let us assume that the rate of increase is linear. Therefore, the fees in increasing in an arithmetic progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = $20500

The fee in 2018 is the 19th term of the sequence. Therefore,

T19 = $45,4120

n = 19

Therefore,

454120 = 20500 + (19 - 1) d

454120 - 20500 = 19d

18d = 433620

d = 24090

Therefore, an

equation that can be used to find the tuition y for x years after 2000 is

y = 20500 + 24090(x - 1)

Therefore, at 2020,

n = 21

y = 20500 + 24090(21 - 1)

y = 20500 + 481800

y = $502300

9.4 The heights of a random sample of 50 college stu- dents showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a stan- dard deviation of 6.9
gladu [14]

Answer:  a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean height  = 174.5 cm

Standard deviation = 6.9 cm

n = 50

we need to find the 98% confidence interval.

So, z = 2.326

(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean height of all college students.

x\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=(174.5\pm 2.326\times \dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}})\\\\=(174.5+2.26,174.5-2.26)\\\\=(176.76,172.24)

(b) What can we assert with 98% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the mean height of all college students to be 174.5 centime- ters?

Error would be

\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\dfrac{6.9}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=0.976

Hence, a) (176.76,172.24), b) 0.976.

16 yards will cost $199.84 assuming there is no tax. We know this because

12.49 X 16 = 199.84

Write an equation of the line passing through the points (3,8) and (-2,-22)
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

y=6x+8 or y=6x-22

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

to find the slope use the equation m = y2-y1 over x2-x1

-22 - 8 / -2 - 3 = -30 / -5 = 6

6 is your slope and for the y-intercept you can choose whichever y-intercept to put into the equation.
