The admissions officer at a small college compares the scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for the school's in-state an

d out-of-state applicants. A random sample of 18 in-state applicants results in a SAT scoring mean of 1150 with a standard deviation of 36. A random sample of 12 out-of-state applicants results in a SAT scoring mean of 1113 with a standard deviation of 54. Using this data, find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the scoring mean for in-state applicants and out-of-state applicants. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.
Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have two different samples, hence, to obtain the confidence interval, we use the relation for the confidence interval for two sample means ;

(x1 - x2) ± Margin of error

Where, (x1 - x2) = point estimate of the sample mean, this is the difference in mean of the two samples.

From the question ;

x1 = 1150 ; x2 = 1113

Hence, the point estimate is : (1150 - 1113) = 37

What does l-8l + l8l = this mean?
Viktor [21]
The |x| operator means 'absolute value' or the positive value of the negative values. To help this make sense, here's a visual representation:
|-8| = 8

But,
|8| = 8

Do you see what I mean? BTW, your answer will just be 8 + 8 or 16.

Going to the movies costs 9.50 per person. what is the slope of the line that models this situation, if x represents number of p
Pani-rosa [81]
 the cost is proportional to the number of people because a constant value 9.50 exists where each measure of the number of people multiplied by this constant gives the corresponding measure in y

Ella takes 1 3/5 hours to complete a painting. Holly takes 3/4 of the time that Ella takes. How long will Holly take to complete
Misha Larkins [42]
1. you have to figure out what 3/4 of Ella's time is.
1 \frac{3}{5}  =  \frac{8}{5}
(You find that out by multiplying 5x1. Then add 3.)
2. Convert the fractions into decimals. (This will help make it easier when dividing.)
\frac{8}{5}  = 8 \div 5 = 1.6
\frac{3}{4}  = 3 \div 4 = .75
3. Next you are going to divide 1.6 by .75
1.6 \div .75 = 2.13
4. Now multiple 2.13 by 5.
2.13 \times 5 = 10.65
Answer is 10

What is the length of the line segment with end points (5, -7) and (5, 11)​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<h2>18</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have the points (5, -7) and (5, 11). Substitute:

d=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(11-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{0^2+18^2}=\sqrt{18^2}=18
