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

Hi there
The formula of compound interest is
A=p (1+r/k)^kn
A future value?
P present value 12300
R interest rate 0.052
K compounded quarterly 4
N time 1 year
So
A=12,300×(1+0.052÷4)^(4×1)
A=12,952.18

Good luck!
