Over the summer, Seaside Science Academy renovates its building. The academy's principal hires Melissa to lay new tile in the main hallway. There is a proportional relationship between the length (in feet) of hallway Melissa covers with tiles, x, and the number of tiles she needs, y. To cover the first 2 feet of the hallway, Melissa needs 8 tiles. Write the equation for the relationship between x and y.

The survey of study habits and attitudes (ssha) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students, scores range from 0 to 200. the mean score for u.s. college students is about 115, and the standard deviation is about 30. a teacher who suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school gives the ssha to 55 students who are at least 30 years of age. the mean score is 113.2. assume the population standard deviation is 30 for older students what is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean score for a. older students? b. compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean score for older students. c. compute the 99% confidence interval for the population mean score for older students. d. compute the 88% confidence interval for the population mean score for older students.
