11. You conduct a random sample of 250 of UCLA's entering freshmen and get an average GPA of
a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the average GPA of all of UCLA's entering freshmen.
b. UCLA claims the average GPA for entering freshmen is 4.05. Does your confidence interval
support this claim? Explain your reasoning

a) The 95% confidence interval for the average GPA of all of UCLA's entering freshmen is (4.11, 4.31).

b) 4.05 is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it does not support this claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.21 - 0.1 = 4.11

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.21 + 0.1 = 4.31

The 95% confidence interval for the average GPA of all of UCLA's entering freshmen is (4.11, 4.31).

b. UCLA claims the average GPA for entering freshmen is 4.05. Does your confidence interval support this claim?

4.05 is not part of the confidence interval, which means that it does not support this claim.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
