SurveyMonkey is a popular website for hosting online surveys and from time to time they will also create surveys based on a subject they are interested in answering questions about. Given the widespread adoption of dating sites and apps, they wanted to learn how people feel about them. It was found that out of 400 responses, 100 have used or are currently using online dating services. The average age of those that were using online dating services was 35 years old with a sample standard deviation of 12 years. What distribution should you use to compute a confidence interval for the average age of people using online dating services

So we use the t-distribution to compute a confidence interval for the average age of people using online dating services

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for a mean.

We have to decide between the t-distribution and the z-distribution.

T-distribution: We use the sample standard deviation.

Z-distribution: We use the population standard deviation.

In this problem:

The average age of those that were using online dating services was 35 years old with a sample standard deviation of 12 years.

So we use the t-distribution to compute a confidence interval for the average age of people using online dating services

i believe it is c.y = 9x

rise over run. 9 units up over 1 unit right or 9/1
