The average annual cost (including tuition, room, board, books and fees) to attend a public college takes nearly a third of the

annual income of a typical family with college-age children (Money, April 2012). At private colleges, the average annual cost is equal to about 60% of the typical family's income. The following random samples show the annual cost of attending private and public colleges. Data are in thousands of dollars.Private Colleges 52.8 30.6 43.2 45.8 45.0 37.8 33.3 50.5 44.0 42.0 Public Colleges 20.3 22.8 22.0 25.8 28.2 18.5 15.6 25.6 24.1 14.4 28.5 21.8 a. Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation for private and public colleges. Round your answers to two decimal places.

S2 =
b. What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means? Round your answer to one decimal place.
Interpret this value in terms of the annual cost of attending private and public colleges.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For private colleges,

Mean = (52.8 + 30.6 + 43.2 + 45.8 + 45.0 + 37.8 + 33.3 + 50.5 + 44.0 + 42.0)/10 = 42.5

x1 = 42.5 × 1000 = 42500

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n = 10

Summation(x - mean)² = (52.8 - 42.5)^2 + (30.6 - 42.5)^2 + (43.2 - 42.5)^2 + (45.8 - 42.5)^2 + (45.0 - 52.5)^2 + (37.8 - 42.5)^2 + (33.3 - 42.5)^2 + (50.5 - 42.5)^2 + (44.0 - 42.5)^2 + (42.0 - 52.5)^2 = 598.56

standard deviation = √(598.56/10 = 7.74

s1 = 7.74 × 1000 = 7740

For public colleges,

Mean = (20.3 + 22.8 + 22.0 + 25.8 + 28.2 + 18.5 + 15.6 + 25.6 + 24.1 + 14.4 28.5 + 21.8)/12 = 22.3

x2 = 22.3 × 1000 = 22300

n2 = 12

Summation(x - mean)² = (20.3 - 22.3)^2 + (22.8 - 22.3)^2 + (22 - 22.3)^2 + (25.8 - 22.3)^2 + (28.2 - 22.3)^2 + (18.5 - 22.3)^2 + (15.6 - 22.3)^2 + (25.6 - 22.3)^2 + (24.1 - 22.3)^2 + (14.4 - 22.3)^2 + (28.5 - 22.3)^2 + (21.8 - 22.3)^2 = 225.96

standard deviation = √(225.96/12 = 4.34

s2 = 4.34 × 1000 = 4340

b) The point estimate is the difference between the sample means

Point estimate = 42500 - 22300 = 20200

The best guess for the difference in population mean annual cost of attending private and public colleges is $20200. The range of the value is determined by the margin of error.

c) Confidence interval = point estimate ± margin of error

Margin of error = z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Where z is the test score for 95% confidence level from the t distribution table. To find the test score, we would first find degree of freedom, df

df = (n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (10 - 1) + (12 - 1) = 20

From the t distribution table,

z = 2.086

Margin of error = 2.086√(7.74²/10 + 4.34²/12) = 4.84

4.84 × 1000 = 4840

Confidence interval = 20200 ± 4840

Using the Addition Method, find the value of x in the
allochka39001 [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=2------------1

-3x+5y=5-----------2

adding 1 and 2 we get

7y=7

y=1

and from (1),we get

3x+2×1=2

3x=0

x=0 is the required value of x.

If m(-12) =0 is the result of M(x) using the reminder theorem then what do -12 and 0 represent?
lions [1.4K]

Suppose we wish to determine whether or not two given polynomials with complex coefficients have a common root. Given two first-degree polynomials a0 + a1x and b0 + b1x, we seek a single value of x such that

Solving each of these equations for x we get x = -a0/a1 and x = -b0/b1 respectively, so in order for both equations to be satisfied simultaneously we must have a0/a1 = b0/b1, which can also be written as a0b1 - a1b0 = 0. Formally we can regard this system as two linear equations in the two quantities x0 and x1, and write them in matrix form as

Hence a non-trivial solution requires the vanishing of the determinant of the coefficient matrix, which again gives a0b1 - a1b0 = 0.

Now consider two polynomials of degree 2. In this case we seek a single value of x such that
