The final part of the question is asking;

How much did all (99.7%) of the students spend on textbooks in a semester

Answer:

almost all (99.7%) of the students spent between $165 and $315 on textbooks in a semester.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation rule describes to us that for distributions that have the normal shape, approximately 99.7% of the observations fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this question, we are given that; Mean = 240 and Standard deviation= 25

So, 3 standard deviation below the mean = Mean - 3(standard deviation)

= 240 - (3 × 25)

= 240 - 75 = 165

Now, 3 standard deviation above the mean = Mean + 3 standard deviation = 240 + (3 × 25)

= 240 + 75 = 315

So, almost all (99.7%) of the students spent between $165 and $315 on textbooks in a semester.

) The GPA of accounting students in a university is known to be normally distributed. A random sample of 20 accounting students
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean GPA of all accounting students at this university is between 2.5851 and 3.2549

Step-by-step explanation:

We are in posessions of the sample's standard deviation. So we use the student's t-distribution 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

95% 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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975([tex]t_{975}). So we have T = 2.0930

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0930*0.16 = 0.3349.

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.92 - 0.3349 = 2.5851

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.92 + 0.3349 = 3.2549

The 95% confidence interval for the mean GPA of all accounting students at this university is between 2.5851 and 3.2549

The function f(x) = xπ−−√ gives the diameter, in inches, of a proposed spherical sculpture with a surface area of x square inche
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The average rate of change of f(x) = 3.14 inches⁻¹

The change in f(x) = 49.32 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the spherical sculpture = x and its diameter f(x) = πx.

The average rate of change of f(x) as x changes is df(x)/dx = π = 3.14

Now the change in diameter Δf(x) = df(x) = (df(x)/dx)dx = πdx  

dx = Δx = 28.3 in² - 12.6 in² = 15.7 in²

df(x) = π × 15.7 = 49.32 in

A recipe calls for 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, and 4 tsp of garlic powder. How much pepper and garlic powder would you need
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

amount of pepper required= 7.5 tsp

amount of garlic powder required = 30 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

amount of salt used for small batch of the recipe = 2 tsp

amount of pepper used for small batch of the recipe = 1 tsp

amount of garlic powder used for small batch of the recipe = 4 tsp

amount of salt used for the larger batch = 15 tsp

                                                             = 2 x 7.5 tsp

                                                             = amount of salt used for small batch the recipe x 7.5

So,

the amount of pepper needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of pepper used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                      = 7.5 x 1 tsp

                                                                       = 7.5 tsp

the amount of garlic powder needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of garlic powder used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                                          = 7.5 x 4 tsp

                                                                                          = 30 tsp

Four people - Roger, Gail, Simon, and Lisa, - enter their names into a drawing. The winner receives a sweater, hat, or scarf. Th
Finger [1]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a student winning is 1/4.

The probability of a prize being selected is 1/3.

The probability of Gail winning a scarf is 1/4 × 1/3 = 1/12.

The probability of Simon winning is 1/4.

The probability of either is 1/12 + 1/4 = 1/3.
