Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0518

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

n = 27, s = 21.4. So

M = 2.0518\frac{21.4}{\sqrt{27}}

M = 8.45

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

A fast car travels 420 miles in a period of 210 minutes. What is the adverage rate of change of distance of the car in miles per
nikitadnepr [17]
If you would like to know the average rate in miles per hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:

420 miles ... 210 minutes
x miles = ? ... 1 hour = 60 minutes

420 * 60 = 210 * x
x = 420 * 60 / 210
x = 120 miles

The correct result would be 120 miles per hour.
