1. The Wall Street Journal reported that bachelor’s degree recipients with majors in business average starting salaries of $53,900 in 2012 (The Wall Street Journal, March 17, 2014). The results for a sample of 100 business majors receiving a bachelor’s degree in 2013 showed a mean starting salary of $55,144 with a sample standard deviation of $5,200. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012. Use a = .01 as the level of significance

The calculated value t = 4.976 > 2.6264 at 0.01 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

The  mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Mean of the population μ = $53,900

Given sample size 'n' = 100

Mean of the sample size x⁻ = 55,144

Sample standard deviation 'S' = 5200

Null hypothesis:H₀: There is no difference between the means

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁: The  mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012

Test statistic

t = 4.976

Degrees of freedom

ν = n-1 = 100-1 =99

t₀.₀₁ = 2.6264

The calculated value t = 4.976 > 2.6264 at 0.01 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

Final answer:-

The  mean starting salary for business majors in 2013 is greater than the mean starting salary in 2012

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

when studying polynomials, you often hear the terms zeros, roots, factors and x x the multiplicity of a zero is important because it tells us how the graph of the let's look at the graph of a function that has the same zeros
