Private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses. Much o

f this money is put into a fund called an endowment, and the college spends only the interest earned by the fund. A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars): 60.2, 47.0, 235.1, 490.0, 122.6, 177.5, 95.4, and 220.0. What value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States?

Answer:

The value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States is of 180.975 millions of dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a sample, the mean of the sample is used as the point estimate for the mean of the entire population.

What value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States?

We have to find the mean of the 8 colleges. So

M = \frac{60.2 + 47.0 + 235.1 + 490.0 + 122.6 + 177.5 + 95.4 + 220.0}{8} = 180.975

The value will be used as the point estimate for the mean endowment of all private colleges in the United States is of 180.975 millions of dollars.

Priya has a piece of string 5/6 yard long. She cuts 3/5 of the piece of string for a craft. What is the length of the string lef
Solnce55 [7]

Total length of the string = \frac{5}{6} yard

Length of string used for craft = \frac{3}{5} of total length of string

= \frac{3}{5} of \frac{5}{6}

= \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{6}

= \frac{3}{6} yard

Length of the string left after use = Total length of the string - Length of string used for craft

Length of the string left after use = \frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{6}

=\frac{2}{6}

Reducing it to the lowest term, we get

=\frac{1}{3} yard

Therefore, the length of string left is \frac{1}{3} yard.

What is the image of the point (8,4) after a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin?<br>​
Alenkinab [10]
<h3>Answer:  (-4, 8)</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The 90 degree counterclockwise rotation rule we use is

(x,y) \to (-y,x)

the x and y coordinates swap places, and we change the sign of the first coordinate after the swap.

After using that rotation rule, we would go from (8,4) to (-4, 8) which is the final answer.

----------------

Extra info (optional section):

Define the following three points

A = (0,0)

B = (8,4)

C = (-4,8)

Use the slope formula to find that AB and AC have slopes of 1/2 and -2 in that order.

Those slopes multiply to -1, since (1/2)*(-2) = -1. This is a property of any two perpendicular lines as long as neither line is vertical and neither is horizontal. So this is sufficient to prove that the lines are perpendicular. This further means that a 90 degree rotation has taken place.

A building has the same number and size of rooms on each floor. If there are 10 offices on the first 2 floors, then what is the
galina1969 [7]
So there are 10 offices in the first 2 floors
All the stories of the building have the same amount of offices on each floor
to see how many are on one floor
10 / 2
That is there are 5 offices on each floor

If there are 5 floors 
then... 5+5+5+5+5
or 5*5 
There are a total of 25 rooms in a 5-story building. 

Hope this helps :)

ANSWER QUICK PLEASE!!
Kazeer [188]
First you can solve for angle C because angles C and D are vertical and therefore congruent
So we do: 62+44+x=180 and solve
106+x=180
x=74
So then we know that angles C and D are 74 degrees 

Then we can solve for angle F:
x+74+50=180
Which can be rewritten as x=180-50-74

Hope this helps
