SurveyMonkey is a popular website for hosting online surveys and from time to time they will also create surveys based on a subj

ect they are interested in answering questions about. Given the widespread adoption of dating sites and apps, they wanted to learn how people feel about them. It was found that out of 400 responses, 100 have used or are currently using online dating services. The average age of those that were using online dating services was 35 years old with a sample standard deviation of 12 years. What distribution should you use to compute a confidence interval for the average age of people using online dating services

Answer:

So we use the t-distribution to compute a confidence interval for the average age of people using online dating services

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for a mean.

We have to decide between the t-distribution and the z-distribution.

T-distribution: We use the sample standard deviation.

Z-distribution: We use the population standard deviation.

In this problem:

The average age of those that were using online dating services was 35 years old with a sample standard deviation of 12 years.

So we use the t-distribution to compute a confidence interval for the average age of people using online dating services

One of your peers claims that boys do better in math classes than girls. Together you run two independent simple random samples
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To test if boys are better in math classes than girls two random samples were taken:

Sample 1

X₁: score of a boy in calculus

n₁= 15

X[bar]₁= 82.3%

S₁= 5.6%

Sample 2

X₂: Score in the calculus of a girl

n₂= 12

X[bar]₂= 81.2%

S₂= 6.7%

To estimate per CI the difference between the mean percentage that boys obtained in calculus and the mean percentage that girls obtained in calculus, you need that both variables of interest come from normal populations.

To be able to use a pooled variance t-test you have to also assume that the population variances, although unknown, are equal.

Then you can calculate the interval as:

[(X[bar]_1-X[bar_2) ± t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2} * Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} }]

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{14*(5.6^2)+11*(6.7^2)}{15+12-2} }= 6.108= 6.11

t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{15+12-2;1-0.05}= t_{25;0.95}= 1.708

[(82.3-81.2) ± 1.708* (6.11*\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{12}  }]

[-2.94; 5.14]

Using a 90% confidence level you'd expect the interval [-2.94; 5.14] to contain the true value of the difference between the average percentage obtained in calculus by boys and the average percentage obtained in calculus by girls.

I hope this helps!

No work need to be shown.

This problem is quite simple, but it may seem tricky at first. 
y is a function of x, so replace y with f(x)
You get f(x) = 2x - 4
D is your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

write an equation of the line that passes through -3,0 and has a slope of 6 put your answer in standard form
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b, m being the slope

y=6 times -3

since there isn't a y intercept, you can't really put it in standard form unless I missed a step.

y= -9

What is the slope of the line with equation <br>-3x+6y=12
notka56 [123]

Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b, in which m = slope

Isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 3x to both sides

-3x (+3x) + 6y = (+3x) + 12

6y = 3x + 12

Fully isolate the y. Divide 6 from both sides (and to all terms)

(6y)/6 = (3x + 12)/6

y = (3x)/6 + (12)/6

Simplify

y = (1/2)x + 2

y = 0.5x + 2 is your equation.

The slope is direclty left of the x (or the m variable). In this case, it is 0.5

0.5 is your answer (or 1/2 if wanted in fraction form)

Please help!!! If the first 4 terms of a geometric sequence are...
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

c.) aₙ = 5 × 4ⁿ⁻¹

Explanation:

Geometric sequence: aₙ = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹

where 'a' resembles first term of a sequence, 'r' is the common difference.

Here sequence: 5, 20, 80, 320,...

First term (a) = 5

Common difference (d) = second term ÷ first term = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Hence putting into equation: aₙ = 5(4)ⁿ⁻¹
