Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviations 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 = 85 - 1 = 84

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 84 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 1.989.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.989\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{85}} = 0.26

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.5 - 0.26 = 4.24 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.5 + 0.26 = 4.76 days

The 95% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.24, 4.76).

92% confidence interval:

Following the sample logic, the critical value is 1.772. So

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.772\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{85}} = 0.23

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.5 - 0.23 = 4.27 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.5 + 0.23 = 4.73 days

The 92% confidence interval for the population's mean length of vacation, in days, is (4.27, 4.73).

What measure of center should Mr. Malloy use for Amo and for Javier for the best possible grade?
9966 [12]
The answer to this question is the first item in the choices which is "The teacher should use the mean for both Amo and Javier" when computing and comparing their grades. The mean is the average grade while the median is the center of the grade. It would be wrong to apply median in computing their grades and it would be also wrong when the use two different methods when computing and comparing their grades.

What equation I should use for this problem
Mama L [17]
I'm not completely sure, but this should be exponential growth.
If so, the equation for exponential growth is: y = a(1 + r)^t
If I substitute them with the information you gave me, then is would look like this:
 y = 281.4(1 + 0.02)^t
**t = is the number of years after 2000 (based on your question)**

Jay is cutting a roll of biscuit dough into slices that are 3/8 inch thick. If the roll is 101/2 inches long, how many slices ca
IceJOKER [234]
The roll of the biscuit is 101/2 inches long. It has to be cut into slices that are 3/8 inches thick.
Then
The number of slices = (101/2)/(3/8)
                                   = (101/2) * (8/3)
                                   = 808/6
                                   = 404/3
                                   = 134.66
So the biscuit dough can be cut into 134 slices approximately. A small part will be left. This is the only way to find out the number of slices the biscuit dough can be sliced into. Hope this helps you in understanding the way it is done.
