Answer: Choice B</h3>
No, this is not a plausible value for the population mean, because 5 is not within the 95% confidence interval.
====================================================
Explanation:
The greek letter mu is the population mean. It has the symbol
which looks like the letter 'u' but with a tail at the front or left side.
The question is asking if mu = 5 is plausible if the researcher found the 95% confidence interval to be 5.2 < mu < 7.8
We see that 5 is <u>not</u> in that interval. It's a bit to the left of 5.2
Since mu = 5 is not in the interval, it's not a plausible value for the population mean.
Have we ruled it out with 100% confidence? No. Such a thing is not possible. There's always room for (slight) error. The researcher would need to do a census to be fully confident; however, such practices are very time consuming and expensive. This is the main reason why statistics is important to try to estimate the population with a sample.
The answer is D. The roots are just where the line crosses the y axis.
Yes, it is possible. For example, let's say that point A is (0,4) and there's a reflection over the y-axis, then point A would still be (0,4).
Answer: $15.94
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r be your rate you get paid per hour normally. Let's set up this equation.
(30 * r) + 4(1.5 * r) = 573.83
30r + 6r = 573.83
36r = 573.83
r = 15.94 (rounded)
You get paid $15.94 hourly.
