A random sample of 12 recent college graduates reported an average starting salary of $54,000 with a standard deviation of $6,00

0.
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean starting salary of college graduates.

a. 50188 to 57812$
b. 45,0000 to 50,000$
c. 48,000 to 60,000$
d. 50,000 to 54000$

b. The National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that the mean starting salary for 2017 college graduates is $50,516. Does your confidence interval (part a) indicate that starting salaries have significantly changed since 2017? Why or why not?

Answer: a.) $50188 to $57812

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> (CI) is an interval of values in which we are confident the true mean is in.

The interval is calculated as

x ± z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

a. For a 95% CI, z-value is 1.96.

Solving:

54,000 ± 1.96.\frac{6000}{\sqrt{12} }

54,000 ± 1.96\frac{6000}{3.464}

54,000 ± 1.96*1732.102

54,000 ± 3395

This means the interval is

50605 < μ < 57395

<u>With a 95% confidence interval, the mean starting salary of college graduates is between 50605 and 57395 or </u><u>from 50188 to 57812$.</u>

<u />

b. The mean starting salary for college students in 2017 is $50,516, which is in the confidence interval. Therefore, since we 95% sure the real mean is between 50188 and 57812, there was no significant change since 2017.

If log10 y = 2. what does y equal?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

log_{10}  (100) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

log_{10}  (y) = 2

Now, by logarithm rules, we know

if  log_{b}(x) = z

, then x =b^{z}

Comparing here, b = 10  and  z = 2

⇒ y  =   10^{2}  = 100

or, log_{10}  (100) = 2
