Answer:

The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3.  The first calculation of π was done by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world.

The National Center for Education Statistics surveyed a random sample of 4400 college graduates about the lengths of time requir
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

95​% confidence interval for the mean time required to earn a bachelor’s degree by all college students is [5.10 years , 5.20 years].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the National Center for Education Statistics surveyed a random sample of 4400 college graduates about the lengths of time required to earn their bachelor’s degrees. The mean was 5.15 years and the standard deviation was 1.68 years respectively.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                              P.Q. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean time = 5.15 years

            \sigma = sample standard deviation = 1.68 years

            n = sample of college graduates = 4400

            \mu = population mean time

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics although we are given sample standard deviation because the sample size is very large so at large sample values t distribution also follows normal.</em>

<u>So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, </u>\mu<u> is ;</u>

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

                                               level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                              = [ 5.15-1.96 \times {\frac{1.68}{\sqrt{4400} } } , 5.15+1.96 \times {\frac{1.68}{\sqrt{4400} } } ]

                                             = [5.10 , 5.20]

Therefore, 95​% confidence interval for the mean time required to earn a bachelor’s degree by all college students is [5.10 years , 5.20 years].

What is the equation for the line of reflection that maps the trapezoid onto itself?
kvv77 [185]
The line that maps a figure onto itself is a line of symmetry of the figure.

From the given trapezoid, the line of symmetry of the trapezoid is x = -2.

Therefore, the <span>equation for the line of reflection that maps the trapezoid onto itself</span> is x = -2.
