A researcher is interested in the mean mileage for all school buses in a school district. Forty buses are randomly selected from a computer printout that contains every bus in the district. For each bus they record the name of the school it is used for, mileage, and age. It is calculated that 32.5% of the 40 buses are over 15 years old. With 99% confidence they find that the mean mileage for all school buses in the school district is between 85,261 and 134,890 miles. What is the qualitative variable in this study

Which equation and solution can be used to solve this problem? thirteen less than a number is sixteen. 13-n=16: add 13 to both sides. the answer is 29. n+13=16: subtract 13 from both sides. the answer is 3. n+16=13 subtract 13 from both sides. the answer is 3. n-13=16: add 13 to both sides. the answer is 29.

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
