You want to know about the dining habits of college students in the US. Since you do not have resources to survey all college st

udents in the nation, you take a random sample of 1501. You learn that, on average, they eat out 4 times per week. Also, these sample data are generally distributed about the average of 4 times, by 1.5 times per week. 1. What is the average times per week that college students across the nation eat out

Answer:

the average times per week that college students across the nation eat out lies within these 95% confidence interval

      3.938  <  \mu < 4.062

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is n =  1501

    The sample mean  is  \= x =  4

      The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  1.5

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

=>   E = 1.96  *  \frac{1.5 }{\sqrt{1501} }

=>   E = 0.06196

Generally the estimate for average times per week that college students across the nation eat out at a 95% confidence is  mathematically represented as

      \= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E

      4  -0.06196  <  \mu < 4  + 0.06196

=>   3.938  <  \mu < 4.062

Hence the true average times per week that college students across the nation eat out lies within this interval

Given rectangle QUAD, If DU = 5x - 4 and QP = 2x + 7, then find the length of DU.
ira [324]

Answer:

DU = 86

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of a rectangle,

- Opposite sides are equal in measure.

- Diagonals of a rectangle are equal.

- Diagonals bisect each other.

In the given rectangle QUAD,

Diagonals AQ and DU bisect each other at P.

AQ = DU

2(QP) = DU [Since, AQ = 2(PQ)]

2(2x + 7) = 5x - 4

4x + 14 = 5x - 4

5x - 4x = 14 + 4

x = 18

Since, DU = 5x - 4

DU = 5(18) - 4

     = 90 - 4

     = 86

Therefore, measure of DU = 86 units

What is the slope of the graph of 4 x + 8 y = 11?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

B  -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+8y = 11

We need to get the equation in the slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x+8y = -4x+11

8y = -4x+11

Divide by 8

8y/8 = -4x/8 +11/8

y = -1/2x +11/8

The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is 11/8
