Answer: Our required probability is 0.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of seventh grade student s= 21

Number of eight grade students = 14

Number of ninth grade students = 7

Total number of boys and girls = 42

Probability of an eigthth grader winning the competition would be

\dfrac{14}{42}\\\\=\dfra{1}{3}\\\\=0.3333333..................\\\\\approx 0.34

Hence, our required probability is 0.34.

P(8th grader winning) = 14/42...reduces to 1/3

simulate this by using a number generator with numbers 1 - 6.....with 1 - 3 representing 7th graders, 4 and 5 representing 8th graders, and 6 representing 9th graders

Solve the equation for y: x + 2y = 7​
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

y = (7 - x) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You isolate the y by subtracting the x

2y = 7 - x

and then you divide by two to get the answer to y

(7 - x) / 2

In a survey sample of 83 respondents, the mean number of hours worked per week is 39.04, with a standard deviation of 11.51. Cal
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Given that,

Sample size= 83

Mean number= 39.04

Standard deviation= 11.51

We know the critical t-value for  95% confidence interval which is equal to 1.989.

We also know the formula for confidence interval,

CI=( mean number - critical t-value*standard deviation/(sample size)^(1/2), mean number + critical t-value*standard deviation/(sample size)^(1/2))

So, we have

CI= (39.04 - 1.989*11.51/83^(1/2), 39.04 + 1.989*11.51/83^(1/2)

CI= (39.04 - 2.513,39.04 + 2.513)

CI= (36.527,41.553)

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for these data is (36.527,41.553), and this result interpret that the true value for this survey sample lie in the interval (36.527,41.553).
