A study shows that, over the course of a lifetime, the average salary of college graduates is greater than the average salary of

people with only a high school diploma. The results were published claiming that graduating from college ensures you will make more money over the course of your lifetime. What is the problem with reporting results this way?

Answer: The word "ensures" implies that it is certain.

In the case of the study, they simply found that the average salary is greater for college graduates. This doesn't mean that in every case the college graduate makes more money.

The problem is the word "ensures". Our study doesn't show certainty only a general pattern.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a study shows that, over the course of a lifetime, the average salary of college graduates is greater than the average salary of people with only a high school diploma.

The results were published claiming that graduating from college ensures you will make more money over the course of your lifetime.

Only means should not be compared. variances of each sample should be ascertained and test for comparison of two means to be done to conclude that one mean is greater than the other.

Hence here problem is correlation and causality.

Use the intermediate value theorem to prove that there is a positive number c such that c2 = 2.
schepotkina [342]

So lets try to prove it,

So let's consider the function f(x) = x^2.

Since f(x) is a polynomial, then it is continuous on the interval (- infinity, + infinity).

Using the Intermediate Value Theorem,

it would be enough to show that at some point a f(x) is less than 2 and at some point b f(x) is greater than 2. For example, let a = 0 and b = 3.

Therefore, f(0) = 0, which is less than 2, and f(3) = 9, which is greater than 2. Applying IVT to f(x) = x^2 on the interval [0,3}.

Is subtraction of decimals associative? If not, give a counter example.
Masteriza [31]
Associative property is only applied to addition and multiplication. Thus, it can't be applied to subtraction. This property is manifested when you get the same answer no matter where you put the parenthesis. Example of associative property is:

(50 + 2) + (92 + 6) = 52+98 = 150
50 + (2+92) + 6 = 50 + 94 + 6 = 150

Here is the counter example for the subtraction of decimals:

(3.45 - 8.92) - (1.9 - 7.3) = -5.47 - ⁻5.4 = -0.07
3.45 - (8.92 - 1.9) - 7.3 = 3.45 - 7.02 - 1.9 = -5.47
As you can see, the answers are not the same.
