x = number of items that cost $8 per piece

if you buy x of these items for 8 dollars each, then 8*x represents how much you've spent so far. If you start off with $60, then 60-8x = -8x+60 is the total amount of money leftover in your pocket.

If you start off with $60 and end up with $28, then -8x+60 = 28 is the equation that models this. Solving for x leads to finding out how many of these items you have purchased. In this case, the solution is x = 5.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$1450-2.0\frac{30}{\sqrt{25}}=1450-12$

$1450+2.0\frac{30}{\sqrt{25}}=1450+12$

And the best option would be:

c. 1450 +/- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

$\bar X=1450$ represent the sample mean for the SAT scores

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$s^2 = 900$ represent the sample variance given

n=25 represent the sample size

Solution

The confidence interval for the true mean is given by :

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The sample deviation would be $s=\sqrt{900}= 30$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=2-25=24$

The Confidence is 0.954 or 95.4%, the value of $\alpha=0.046$ and $\alpha/2 =0.023$ , assuming that we can use the normal distribution in order to find the quantile the critical value would be $z_{\alpha/2} \approx 2.0$
