A survey was conducted to determine the average age at which college seniors hope to retire in a simple random sample of 101 seniors, 55 was the
average desired retirement age, with a standard deviation of 3.4 years. A 96% confidence interval for desired retirement age of all college students is:
54.30 to 55.70
54.55 to 55.45
54.58 to 55.42
54 60 to 55.40

96% confidence interval for desired retirement age of all college students is [54.30 , 55.70].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey was conducted to determine the average age at which college seniors hope to retire in a simple random sample of 101 seniors, 55 was the  average desired retirement age, with a standard deviation of 3.4 years.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 96% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                         P.Q. =    ~

where, = sample average desired retirement age = 55 years

            = sample standard deviation = 3.4 years

            n = sample of seniors = 101

             = true mean retirement age of all college students

Here for constructing 96% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 96% confidence interval for the population mean, is ;

P(-2.114 < < 2.114) = 0.96  {As the critical value of t at 100 degree

                                               of freedom are -2.114 & 2.114 with P = 2%}  

P(-2.114 < < 2.114) = 0.96

P( < < ) = 0.96

P( < < ) = 0.96

96% confidence interval for = [ , ]

                                           = [ , ]

                                           = [54.30 , 55.70]

Therefore, 96% confidence interval for desired retirement age of all college students is [54.30 , 55.70].

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
