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)

Consider one of the following questions, and write about it:
Alik [6]

Answer:

b. Should prison inmates be offered the opportunity to earn high school or

college degrees, receive job training, and prepare for a future, productive

life outside of prison?

I believe prison inmates should be offered the opportunity to study or receive job training because those opportunities could make a change in their life outside of prison. Their futures could be better just because they got the opportunity to use the time in prison to educate themselves. Education is never wrong and also it is also beneficial for the rest of the society if the prison inmates are productive outside of prison and they do not continue committing crimes.

Explanation:

 In this exercise, you have to select one of the questions and then write about it. I chose to write about question "b". It is important to give your opinion on the question you choose to answer but also inform yourself so what you answer makes sense and is related to the reality of prison inmates and society.

compare the effectiveness of the U.S. government in meeting the needs of citizens to that of another form of government.
jenyasd209 [6]

No two governments, past or present, are exactly the same.

However, it is possible to examine the similarities and differences among political and economic systems and categorize different forms of government. One simple way to categorize governments is to divide them into democratic and authoritarian political systems.

Democracies

Many countries today claim to be democracies, but if the citizens are not involved in government and politics, they are democratic in name only. Some governments are more democratic than others, but systems cannot be considered truly democratic unless the meet certain criteria:
