A random sample of 8 recent college graduates found that starting salaries for architects in New York City had a mean of $42,653

and a standard deviation of $9,114. There are no outliers in the sample data set. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average starting salary of all architects in the city.
A. (35222.41, 50083.59)
B. (34506.12, 50799.88)
C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Answer:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96*\frac{9114}{\sqrt{8}} = 6315.68

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42653 - 6315.68 = 36337.32.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42653 + 6315.68 = 48968.68.

So the correct answer is:

C. (36337.32, 48968.68)

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Steven = 13 marbles

Julio = 13 marbles

Megan has twice the number of marbles as Steven and Julio combined

Megan = 2 (13 + 13) = 2(26) = 52 marbles

Among the options (26, 13, 50, 169, 338), the only reasonable estimate is 50

A particular convex pentagon has two congruent, acute angles. The measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the s
NNADVOKAT [17]

1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:


 (n-2) × 180°


 "n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).


 2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:


 (5-2)x180°=540°


 3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:


 α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

 8α=540°

 α=540°/8

 α=67.5°


 4. Finally, the larger angle is:


 2α=2(67.5°)=135°


 5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

Rewrite the given expression in the form 3^u where u is a constant or an algebraic expression.
lawyer [7]
Simplifying the given expressions we proceed as follows:
(5sqrt3)^x
=5^x*(3^1/2)^x
=5^x*3^x/2
=5^x3^u
where u=x/2


(1/2)^(x-3)
=1/2^(x-3)
=2^-(3-x)
=2^u
where u=-(3-x)

9/3sqrt(3)
=3/(3)^(1/2)
=3(3)^(-1/2)

16/(3sqrt (2^x))
=1/3*(2^4*2^(-x/2))
=1/3*2^(4-x/2)
=1/3*2^u
where:
u=4-x/2
