The software is? expensive, and the salesman offers to let the professor use it for a semester to see if the scores on the final exam increase significantly. The professor will have to pay for the software only if he chooses to continue using it. In the trial course that used this? software,
201201
students scored an average of
111111
points on the final with a standard deviation of
8.98.9
points. Complete parts? a) and? b) below.

?b) Does this improvement seem to be practically? significant? Choose the correct answer below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice.
?(Round to one decimal place as? needed.)
A.
No. A? 95% confidence interval for the mean score using the software is
left parenthesis nothing comma nothing right parenthesis,.
?Students' scores improved by no more than 5 points on the exam. This might not be enough to justify the cost.
B.
Yes. A? 95% confidence interval for the mean score using the software is
left parenthesis nothing comma nothing right parenthesis,.
?Students' scores improved by at least 5 points on the exam. These improvements may be worth the cost of the software.

Graph a triangle (xyz) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle x’y’z’. describe the transformation using words. draw a line segment from point x to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point x’ to the reflecting line. what do you notice about the two line segments you drew? do you think you would see the same characteristics if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y’ with the reflecting line? how do you know?
