A sociologist is studying the social media habits of high school students in a school district. The sociologist wants to estimat

e the average total number of minutes spent on social media per day in the population. A random sample of 50 high school students was selected, and they were asked, “How many minutes per day, on average, do you spend visiting social media sites?"
Which of the following is the most appropriate inference procedure for the sociologist to use?

A one-sample z-interval for a population proportion

A

A one-sample t-interval for a population mean

B

A matched-pairs t -interval for a mean difference

C

A two-sample z-interval for a difference between proportions

D

A two-sample t-interval for a difference between means

Answer:

A one-sample t-interval for a population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question is "How many minutes per day, on average, do you spend visiting social media sites?", the answer will be in a numerical form (number of hours, positive integer or real number).

As this is not a proportion, the option "A one-sample t-interval for a population mean" is discarded.

As the study does not defined another variable to compare in pairs, it is not a matched-pairs test. Option "A matched-pairs t -interval for a mean difference" discarded.

There are not two means in the study, so there is no "difference between means" variable. Options "A two-sample z-interval for a difference between proportions" and "A two-sample t-interval for a difference between means".

This should be a  one-sample t-interval for a population mean, as there is only one sample, one population mean and the population standard deviation is not known.

<span>2/15 if drawn without replacement. 1/9 if drawn with replacement. Assuming that the chips are drawn without replacement, there are 6 * 5 different possibilities. And that's a low enough number to exhaustively enumerate them. So they are: 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 Of the above 30 possible draws, there are 4 that add up to 5. So the probability is 4/30 = 2/15 If the draw is done with replacement, then there are 36 possible draws. Once again, small enough to exhaustively list, they are: 1,1 : 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,2 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3,3 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,4 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,5 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 : 6,6 And of the above 36 possibilities, exactly 4 add up to 5. So you have 4/36 = 1/9</span>

Three years ago Tom was twice as old as Jean, and in two years the sum of their ages will be 28 years. Find their present ages.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Jean is 9 and Tom is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 years ago, Tom was 12 and Jean was 6, hence Tom was twice as old as Jean.  

Since that was their age 3 years ago, they are currently 15 (Tom) and 9 (Jean).  

Add 2 years to each of these ages, you get 17 and 11.

17 + 11 = 28
