A researcher is going to estimate the average typing speed of students of a college. He selects a random sample of 20 students a

nd finds the average typing speed of 70 wpm and the standard deviation of 5 wpm. Estimate the margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed. Express your answer using THREE decimal places.

Answer:

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation 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 = 20 - 1 = 19

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.7291

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. For this question, we have s = 5, n = 20. So

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 1.7291\frac{5}{\sqrt{20}}

M = 1.933

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 21 miles per hour. What is this rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist
Citrus2011 [14]
5 days ago, hope this still helps though! 

Alright 21 miles per hour. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour. So this is basically saying 21 miles per 60 minutes. To find the rate for miles per minute, you divide 21 by 60 which is 0.35. 

In one minute the cyclist rides 0.35 miles
In two minutes the cyclist rides 0.7 miles

Step 3: 2x > 10 Step 4: x > 5 What property justifies the work between step 3 and step 4? A. division property of inequali
BigorU [14]

Answer:

A. Division property of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be 2\cdot x > 10, we proceed to show the appropriate procedure to step 4:

1) 2\cdot x >10 Given

2) x > 5 Compatibility with multiplication/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Associative property/Modulative property/Result. (Division property of inequality)

In consequence, the division property of inequality which states that:

\forall\, a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}. If c > 0, then:

a> b\,\longrightarrow a\cdot c > b\cdot c \,\lor\, a

But if c < 0, then:

a> b\,\longrightarrow a\cdot c < b\cdot c \,\lor\, a b\cdot c

Hence, correct answer is A.

Answer:

1\frac{7}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction to match the rest of the problem (this just makes it easier for now, the answer will still be a mixed number)

-1\frac{4}{5} becomes \frac{9}{5}

2. Re-write the new equation. When there is a "+" in front of a set of parentheses the expression doesn't change aside from removing the plus signs.

The new equation becomes

\frac{9}{5} - \frac{1}{4} -\frac{1}{5}

3. Calculate. Just work out the new expression.

The answer is \frac{27}{20}

4. Convert to a simplified mixed decimal.

27 goes into 20 once with seven left over, making the answer 1\frac{7}{20}
