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.

Add 0.0025 kg, 1750 mg, 2.25 g, and 825,000 μg, and express the answer in grams.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

6.75g

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is converting everything to grams, by rules of three. Then we add.

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.

Unit conversion problems, like this one, is an example of a direct relationship between measures.

First step: 0.0025kg to g

Each kg has 1000g, so:

1kg - 1000g

0.0025kg - xg

x = 1000*0.0025 = 2.5g

0.0025kg = 2.5g

Second step:  1750 mg

Each g has 1000mg, so:

1g - 1000mg

xg - 1750mg

1000x = 1750

x = \frac{1750}{1000}

x = 1.75g

1750 mg = 1.75g

2.25g - OK

Third step: 825,000 μg to g

Each g has 1,000,000 ug, so:

1g - 1,000,000 ug

xg - 825,000 ug

1,000,000x = 825,000

x = \frac{825,000}{1,000,000}

x = 0.25g

825,000 μg = 0.25g

Final step: adding everyting

0.25g + 2.25g + 1.75g + 2.50g = 6.75g
