One of the authors came across an article (USA Today, 2008) that said that on average Americans have visited 16 states in the Un

ited States. In a survey of 50 students in her introductory statistics class, she found the average number of states the students had visited to be 9.48 and the standard deviation to be 7.13. The data were not strongly skewed.​1. Identify the observational unit for this study.a. studentsb. Americansc. number of states2.

Answer:

1. a. Students

2. d. number of U.S. states visited, quantitative

3. a. H o: mu = 16, Ha: mu ≠ 16

4. (7.46,11.50)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The researcher is interested in finding out the average number of states in US that the students have visited.

The unit that is being observed to arrive at that conclusion is the Students. The observational unit for this study is  a. Students.

2. The variable of interest from the information above is the number of U.S. states visited. The observations recorded for this variable are in numbers which are numeric in nature. This implies that the variable is quantitative in nature.

Therefore, the answe  is d. number of U.S. states visited, quantitative

3. To test whether the average number of states all students at the author’s school have visited,

The null hypothesis (H o) is always given as the negation statement/null of what we wish to test.

So, we wish to test that the average is different from 16. Therefore, the null would be that the average is 16.

Answer  is a. H o: mu = 16, Ha: mu ≠ 16

4. A  95% confidence interval for the average number of states all students at the author’s school have visited can be calculated using the formula:

x  bar + or - 2 √s/n

=9.48 + or - 2 × 7.13/ √50

= (7.46,11.50)

The 95% confidence interval for the average number of states all students at the author’s school have visited is (7.46,11.50). The average falls betw 7.64 and 11.50.

The required inequality is 3x + 2y > 390 and two possibilities is given by (100,45) and (80,75).

Student Council is selling t-shirts and hats for $21 and $14, respectively. The club needs to raise at least $2730.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

Inequality can be define as the relation of equation contains the symbol of ( ≤, ≥, <, >) instead of equal sign in an equation.

Let x for the number of t-shirts and y for the number of hats.

Now,
equation for to raise at least $2730.
21x + 14y > 2730
3x + 2y > 390

Two possibility can be caroled out from the graph i,e.  (100,45) and (80,75).

Thus, the required inequality is 3x + 2y > 390 and two possibilities is given by (100,45) and (80,75).
