The National Center for Educational Statistics surveyed 5400 college graduates about the lengths of time required to earn their

bachelors degrees. The mean is 5.4 years and the standard deviation is 1.9 years. Based on this sample, construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean time required by all college graduates

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean time required by all college graduates is between 5.36 years and 5.44 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645*\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{4500}} = 0.04

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.4 - 0.04 = 5.36 years.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.4 + 0.04 = 5.44 years.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean time required by all college graduates is between 5.36 years and 5.44 years.

EMERGENCY A speeding ticket costs $80 plus $10 for each mile per hour over the speed limit the violator was traveling. How much
Basile [38]

Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

Fine calculated per mile = $10

Fine calculated for 'm' mile = 10 * m  = 10m

Cost paid by violator = 80 + 10m

m = 12 miles

Cost paid by the violator = 80 + 10*12

                                         = 80 + 120

                                         = $ 200

Solve the inequality.<br> 5(w - 3) &lt; 5w + 20
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

-15 < 20

Step-by-step explanation:

5(w - 3) < 5w + 20

Distribute;

5w - 15 < 5w + 20

Subtract 5w from both sides;

-15 < 20

What are the steps to solve for: 1/5(x+5)=1/4(x-3)+1
andrew11 [14]
Step 1. Simplify \frac{1}{5} (x+5) to \frac{x+5}{5}

\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 2. Simplify \frac{x+5}{5} to 1+ \frac{x}{5}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1

Step 3. Simplify \frac{1}{4} (x-3) to \frac{x-3}{4}

1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}

Step 5. Multiply both sides by 20 (the LCM of 5,4)

4x=5(x-3)

Step 6. Expand

4x=5x-15

Step 7. Subtract 5x from both sides

4x-5x=-15

Step 8. Simplify 4x-5x to -x

-x=-15

Step 9. Multiply both sides by -1

x=15

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)
