The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.

-----------------------------

To solve this question, we need to find the confidence interval for the amount of time it takes the students to get the degree.

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,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 80 - 1 = 79

-----------------------------

95% confidence interval

Standard level of confidence, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 79 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 1.9905.

-----------------------------

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.9905\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{80}} = 0.5

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

-----------------------------

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.8 - 0.3 = 4.3 years.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.8 + 0.3 = 5.3 years.

-----------------------------

The 95% confidence interval of the population mean, in years, is (4.3, 5.3). 4 years is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it contradicts the fact that 39% of students get their college degree in four years.

 A contractor purchases 6 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for ​$87.12. She incorrectly calculates the unit price as ​$14.52 pe
artcher [175]

So, there are 6 dozen pairs of gloves. That amount of gloves costed $87.12. She calculated the amount per pair as 14.52. This was incorrect because she forgot about the majority of the 6 dozen(one dozen is the number 12). So that means there are not 6 pairs of gloves, in fact, there are 72 pairs of gloves. So, now that we have that number, we can <u>correctly</u> calculate the amount of gloves per pair. Now we have 2 answers. The amount per glove and the amount per pair

Answer 1: Each pair of gloves costs $1.21.

Answer 2: Each individual glove costs 61¢<em>(if there is a number under the hundredths place in the price, like in the thousandths, you </em><em>always</em><em> round upwards, in this case, the cost was .605, but you round up, making it 61¢)</em>

3x + (x-8) = 23 how do I solve it
Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>3x + (x-8) = 23

Combine like terms first. You can combine 3x and x because they have the same variable.

4x - 8 = 23
Now add 8 to both sides.
4x = 31

Last step is to divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x.
4/4x = 31/4

x = 7.75 is the answer.</span>

For which angle theta is cos theta =-1?<br>a) 270<br>b) 360<br>c) 450<br>d) 540​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

540°.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a unit circle, cos θ = -1 at 180°.

However, cos θ has a period of 2π, or 360°. This means that cos θ will equal to -1 again after 2π.

To solve for the angle:

180° + 360° = 540°. This is the next angle at which cos θ = -1.
