Step-by-step explanation:

To describe the set of numbers between 3.5% and 5.5% = [3.5, 5.5].

Using [ ] brackets mean that the lower and the upper intervals are included while ( ) brackets mean that the lower and upper limits are not included.

Answer:

B)  (3.5, 5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of interval notation, “between” refers to all the numbers that fall after the lower limit and before the upper limit. In other words, the limits (endpoints) are not included in the interval notation.

In interval notation:

  • [ ] is used to indicate that both endpoints are included in the set.
  • ( ) is used to indicate that both endpoints are excluded in the set.
  • ( ] is used to indicate that the left endpoint is excluded and the right endpoint is included in the set.
  • [ ) is used to indicate that the left endpoint is included and the right endpoint is excluded in the set.

The left endpoint is the lower limit and the right endpoint is the upper limit.

Therefore, the interval notation to describe the set of numbers for salary raises at Clemson University, which will average between 3.5% and 5.5%, is:

\(\LARGE\boxed{\boxed{(3.5, 5.5)}}\)

This means that the salary raises will be greater than 3.5% and less than 5.5%.
