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.

This question requires creating a few equations and working through them step-by-step. Now, first let's give each of the shapes a variable: let's say that the blue shape is a, the orange shape is b and the green shape is c.

1. We can technically create six formulas for the magic square, with three for sum of the rows and three for the sum of the columns, however the smartest way to approach this is to observe whether there are any obvious answers that we can get.

We can see in row 2 that there are three of the same shape (a) that add to 57. This makes it very simple to calculate the value of the shape.

Since 3a = 57

a = 57/3 = 19

2. Now we need to find a row or column that includes a and one other shape; we could choose either column 2 or 3, so let's go with column 2. Remembering that the blue shape is a and the orange shape is b:

2a + b = 50

Now, given that a = 19:

2(19) + b = 50

38 + b = 50

b = 12

3. We can now take any of the rows or columns that include the third shape (c) since we already know the values of the other two shapes. Let's take column 1:

a + b + c = 38

19 + 12 + c = 38

31 + c = 38

c = 38 - 31

c = 7

Thus, the value of the blue shape is 19, the value of the orange shape is 12 and the value of the green shape is 7.
