7.2.8 Scientists at the Hopkins Memorial Forest in western Mas- sachusetts have been collecting meteorological and environmen- tal data in the forest data for more than 100 years. In the past few years, sulfate content in water samples from Birch Brook has averaged 7.48 mg/L with a standard deviation of 1.60 mg/L. a. What is the standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples is of 0.506 mg/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard error [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Standard deviation of 1.60 mg/L.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 1.6[/tex]

Collection of 10 samples:

This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{10}} = 0.506[/tex]

The standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples is of 0.506 mg/L.

solve the equation f/3+22=17

Answers

1) f/3 + 22 = 17

2) f/3 + 22 - 22 = 17 - 22

= f/3 = -5

3) 3 • f/3 = 3(-5)

= f = 3(-5)

= f = -15

Your answer would be f = -15

:)

Answer:

f = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

f/3 + 22 - 22 = 17 - 22

f/3 + 0 = -5

f/3 = -5

f = 3 × (-5)

f = -15

Thus, The answer is -15

Answers

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the coordinate points in the table (0, 4) and (2, 9)

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 9-4/2-0

m = 5/2

slope = 5/2

Get the y-intercept

Substitute m = 5/2 and (0,4) into y = mx+c

4 = 5/2(0) + c

4 = 0+c

c = 4

y-intercept is 4

Get the equation

Recall that y = mx+c

y = 5/2x + 4

Using another 2 points (2,9) and (4, 14)

Slope = 14-9/4-2

Slope = 5/2

Since the slope is the same for the coordinates, hence the the equation is correct

The machinery ages three years for every $10,000 loss in value.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the graph that each year, the machinery loses a value of $5,000 (Goes from $50,000 to $45,000 after year one, from $45,000 to $40,000 after year two etc). So we can discount the last two answers.

If it loses $5,000 each year, it loses $15,00 after ageing three years, and $25,00 after five years. Though neither of the first two answers correspond to this, the first answer is closest.

Answers

Answer:

  x^2 +(y -61)^2 = 625/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the above equation is attached.

If the circumference of the wheel is 25π/3 feet, the diameter is ...

  d = C/π = (25/3π)/π = 25/3 . . . feet, about 8.33 feet

The radius will be half that value, or 25/6 feet.

For a center point (h, k) and radius r, the equation of a circle is ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

You want the center to be more than 60 feet from the ground, so we can make it be 61 feet. The horizontal location is not specified, so we can make it zero.

This means we apparently want the equation for a circle of radius 25/6 feet with a center that is (x, y) = (0, 61). The equation of this circle is ...

  x^2 +(y -61)^2 = 625/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen concrete has a low value of thermal conductivity in order to minimize subsequent damage due to changing temperatures.

Graded       42           0.486            0.187

To find - a. Formulate the above in terms of a hypothesis testing problem.

b. Give the test statistic and its reference distribution (under the null hypothesis).

c. Report the p-value of the test statistic and use it to assess the evidence that this sample provides on the scientific question of difference in mean conductivity of the two materials at the 5% level of significance.

Proof -

a.)

Hypothesis testing problem :

H0 : There is significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

H1 : There is no significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

b)

Test statistic :

[tex]Z = \frac{x_{1} - x_{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1}} + \frac{s_{2}^{2} }{n_{2}} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.486 - 0.359 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.03496 }{42} + \frac{0.02496 }{42} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.127 }{\sqrt{0.001468}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.127 }{0.0377}[/tex]

⇒Z(cal) = 3.3687

Z(tab) = 1.96

As Z (cal) > Z(tab)

So, we reject H0 at 5% Level of significance

p-value = 0.99962

Hence

There is significant difference in mean conductivity at the two materials.

State of the given functions are inverses

Answers

Answer:

1) They are not inverses

2) They are inverses

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the composition function between these functions to verify if these functions are inverses. If f[g(x)] and g[f(x)] are equal to x they are inverses.

1)

Let's find f[g(x)] and simplify.

[tex]f[g(x)]=\frac{1}{2}g(x)+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]f[g(x)]=\frac{1}{2}(4-\frac{3}{2}x)+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]    

[tex]f[g(x)]=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{3}{4}x[/tex]

As f[g(x)] is not equal to x, these functions are not inverses.

2)

Let's find f[g(x)] and simplify.

[tex]f[g(n)]=\frac{-16+(4n+16)}{4}[/tex]

[tex]f[g(n)]=\frac{-16+4n+16}{4}[/tex]

[tex]f[g(n)]=\frac{4n}{4}[/tex]

[tex]f[g(n)]=n[/tex]

Now, we need to find the other composition function g[f(x)]

Let's find g[f(x)] and simplify.

[tex]g[f(x)]=4(\frac{-16+n}{4})+16[/tex]

[tex]g[f(x)]=-16+n+16[/tex]

[tex]g[f(x)]=n[/tex]

Therefore, as f[g(n)] = g[f(n)] = n, both functions are inverses.

Answers

Answer:

e. A matched pairs t-test for a mean difference

Step-by-step explanation:

When the observations from two samples are paired either naturally or by design we find the differences between the two observations of each pair.Treating the differences as a random sample from a normal population with mean ud= u1-u2 and unknwn standard deviation σd we perform one sample t- test on them. This is called the paired difference t- test or a paired t- test.

Suppose 10 young recruits are given a physical training by the Army . Their weights are recorded before and after the training. These observations constitutes natural pairing .

When we eliminate the undesireable sources of variation to take observations in pairs , this is called pairing by design.

Reason 2)The transitive property of congruence

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several sort of "obvious" properties of equality/congruence. Keeping them sorted out can be a bit of a trick.

  A = A . . . . reflexive property

  A = B ⇔ B = A . . . . symmetric property (erroneously cited in the proof)

  A = B, B = C ⇒ A = C . . . . transitive property (the one needed in the proof)

__

Not to confuse the issue, but there is also the "substitution property of equality" that says if X = Y, then X can be substituted for Y or vice versa. In the end, the transitive property is an application of this, where we're substituting for B in the second equation, or for A in the first equation.

The A=B=C form of Statement 1) in the proof is what gives you the clue it is the transitive property that is wanted here.

Answers

Answer:

a) Any sample statistic used to approximate a population parameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

An unbiased estimator is any sample statistic used to approximate a population parameter.

In mathematics, the bias of an estimator refers to the difference between the true value of the parameter being estimated and the estimator’s expected value.

If a statistic is not an underestimate or overestimate of the population parameter, then it is unbiased.

That is why an unbiased estimator is an accurate sample statistic used to approximate a population parameter.
