Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the direct variation equation, y = kx

Plug in the given values of x and y, and solve for k:

y = kx

-8 = k(-2)

4 = k

So, the equation is y = 4x

Using this, plug in 32 as y, and solve for x:

y = 4x

32 = 4x

8 = x

So, x = 8 when y = 32

Thirty-three college freshmen were randomly selected for an on-campus survey at their university. The participants' mean GPA was

Ivan

Answer: $\pm0.1706$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 33

Critical value for significance level of $\alpha:0.05$ : $z_{\alpha/2}= 1.96$

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=2.5$

Standard deviation : $\sigma= 0.5$

We assume that this is a normal distribution.

Margin of error : $E=\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

i.e. $E=\pm (1.96)\dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{33}}=\pm0.170596102837\approx\pm0.1706$

Hence, the margin of error is $\pm0.1706$
