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.

Answer: y ≥ (3/5)*x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph, we can see that we are above a bold line, that goes through the points (0, -3) and (5, 0)

First, let's find the equation for this line:

y = a*x + b

the value of a is the slope and is equal to:

a = (0 - (-3))/(5 -0) = 3/5

and the value of b is the point where the line intersects the y-axis, in this case, b = -3

then our line is

y = (3/5)*x - 3

As the shaded part is above the line, this equality represents the minimum value that y can take for a given x, and because the line is not a doted line, we know that the equality is valid, so we must use the ≥ symbol.

y ≥ (3/5)*x - 3

50 points!!!!! Please!!!!! Sandra and Jenny spend a certain amount of money from their money box each month to buy plants. The t
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A) Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $6 each month and Sandra spends $5 each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept for Sandra is 55 and the slope is -5. While Jenny's y-intercept is 50 and slope is -6.

6 is a greater number therefore causing Jenny's slope to decrease faster causing her to have less money at a much faster rate. (rate of change=slope) Jeny's slope is decreasing at a faster rate of change because she is spending more money everyday than Sandra is.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

A 20-gallon salt-water solution contains 15% pure salt. How much pure water should be added to it to produce a 10% solution?
Elanso [62]

15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.

If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or

10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal

of salt.

The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:

2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3

0.1<em>x</em> = 1

<em>x</em> = 10 gal
