A random sample of 8 recent college graduates found that starting salaries for computer scientists had a mean of $85000 and a st

andard deviation of $15000. There are no outliers in the sample data set. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average starting salary of all computer scientists in gainesville.

Answer:

(72460, 97540)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The sample size, n = 8

- The sample parameters of normal distributed data:

                     mean u = $85000

                     standard deviation s.d = $15000

Find:-

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average starting salary of all computer scientists in gainesville.

Solution:-

- A random variable (X) denotes average starting salary of all computer scientists in gainesville has a sample normally distribution as follows:

                              X ~ N ( $85000 , $15000^2 )

- The general formulation for CI for known standard deviation with significance α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05:

                    ( u - Z_a/2*(s.d/√n) < X < u + Z_a/2*(s.d/√n) )

- The Z_a/2 = Z_0.025 = 1.96:

                    ( 85,000 - 1.96*(15,000/√8) < X < 85,000 + 1.96*(15,000/√8) )

                    (72460, 97540)

Looking at the two quadratic functions below (1 &amp; 2), answer the following questions.
algol [13]
Part A:

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that parabola (2) is stretched horizontally by a factor of 13 which is greater than 1. This means that parabola (2) is further away from the x-axis than parabola (1). (i.e. parabola (2) is more 'vertical' than parabola (1).

Therefore, parabola (1) is wider than parabola (2).



Part B:

A parabola open up when the coefficient of the quadratic term (the squared term) is positive and opens down when the coefficient of the quadratic term is negative.

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive for parabola (2) and negative for parabola (1), therefore, the parabola that will open down is parabola (1).



Part C:

For any function, f(x), the graph of the function is moved p places to the left when p is added to x (i.e. f(x + p)) and moves p places to the right when p is subtracted from x (i.e. f(x - p)).

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that in parabola (1), 12 is added to x, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 12 places to the left while in parabola (2), 4 is subtracted from x, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 4 places to the right.

Therefore, the parabola that would be furthest left on the x-axis is parabola (1).



Part D:

For any function, f(x), the graph of the function is moved q places up when q is added to the function (i.e. f(x) + q) and moves q places down when q is subtracted from the function (i.e. f(x) - q).

Given parabola (1) to be f(x) =-(x+12)^2 -6, and parabola (2) to be f(x)=13(x-4)^2+1

Notice that in parabola (2), 1 is added to the function, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 1 place up while in parabola (1), 6 is subtracted from the function, which means that the graph of the parent function is shifted 6 places down.

Therefore, the parabola that would be highest on the y-axis is parabola (2).

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form 7x + 9y = 9
shtirl [24]

Answer:

y = -7/9 x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 9y = 9

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 7x from each side

7x -7x+ 9y =-7x+ 9

9y = -7x+9

Divide each side by 9

9y/9 = -7/9 x +9/9

y = -7/9 x +1

The  slope is -7/9 and the y intercept is 1
