<h3>Answer: 2.4 pounds per dollar</h3>

Explanation:

We can set up the ratio

12 pounds : 5 dollars

Then divide both parts of that ratio by 5 so that the "5 dollars" becomes "1 dollar"

12/5 = 2.4
5/5 = 1

The ratio 12 pounds : 5 dollars is equivalent to 2.4 pounds : 1 dollar

A researcher is going to estimate the average typing speed of students of a college. He selects a random sample of 20 students a

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The margin of error of the 90% confidence interval of a student's average typing speed is of 1.933 wpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

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, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 20 - 1 = 19

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 19 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95$ . So we have T = 1.7291
