Answer: (11.95, 14.11)

Explanation:

Let x be a random variable that represent the number of years of education.

Given: Sample size : n= 26

Sample mean : \overline{x}=13.03

Sample standard deviation : s = 3.22

Significance level : \alpha=100\%-90\%=10\%=0.1

Degree of freedom: df = n-1 = 25

Critical t-value for \alpha=0.1 and df = 25 will be

t_{\alpha/2, df}=t_{0.05,25}=1.7081

90% confidence interval for mean:

\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2,df}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=13.03\pm (1.7081)\dfrac{3.22}{\sqrt{26}}\\\\=13.03\pm  (1.7081)\dfrac{3.22}{5.09902}\\\\=13.03\pm 1.08\\\\=(13.03-1.08,\ 13.03+1.08)\\\\ =(11.95,\ 14.11)

A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of years of education = (11.95, 14.11)

Which feature from the early 1600s is still important to modern science?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The Scientific Revolution was a series of events that marked the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The Scientific Revolution took place in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. While its dates are debated, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) is often cited as marking the beginning of the Scientific Revolution.

Three ways to preserve ourselves from bad deeds happening in the community​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

  1. Corruption is not only about bribes
  2. Power of the people
  3. Cut the red tape
  4. It’s not 1999

Explanation:

1. Corruption is not only about bribes: People especially the poor get hurt when resources are wasted. That’s why it is so important to understand the different kinds of corruption to develop smart responses.  

 

2. Power of the people: Create pathways that give citizens relevant tools to engage and participate in their governments – identify priorities,  problems and find solutions.

 

3. Cut the red tape: Bring together formal and informal processes (this means working with the government as well as  non-governmental groups) to change behavior and monitor progress.

4. It’s not 1999: Use the power of technology to build dynamic and continuous exchanges between key stakeholders: government, citizens, business, civil society groups, media, academia etc.
