A student researcher compares the heights of American students and non-American students from the student body of a certain college in order to estimate the difference in their mean heights. A random sample of 12 American students had a mean height of 68.4 inches with a standard deviation of 1.64 inches. A random sample of 17 non-American students had a mean height of 64.9 inches with a standard deviation of 1.75 inches. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean height of the American students and the mean height of the non-American students. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 3.5.

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean height of the American students and the mean height of the non-American students, in inches, is (2.25, 4.75).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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 deviation [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.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

American students:

Sample of 12, mean height of 68.4 inches with a standard deviation of 1.64 inches. This means that:

[tex]\mu_A = 68.4[/tex]

[tex]s_A = \frac{1.64}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.4743[/tex]

Non-American students:

Sample of 17, mean height of 64.9 inches with a standard deviation of 1.75 inches. This means that:

[tex]\mu_N = 64.9[/tex]

[tex]s_N = \frac{1.75}{\sqrt{17}} = 0.4244[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]\mu = \mu_A - \mu_N = 68.4 - 64.9 = 3.5[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_N^2} = \sqrt{0.4743^2 + 0.4244^2} = 0.6365[/tex]

The point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 3.5.

Confidence interval:

[tex]\mu \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]\mu - zs = 3.5 - 1.96*0.6365 = 2.25[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]\mu + zs = 3.5 + 1.96*0.6365 = 4.75[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean height of the American students and the mean height of the non-American students, in inches, is (2.25, 4.75).

which is not true so the point does not make the function true.

Recall the angle sum identity for cosine:

cos(x + y) = cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)

cos(x - y) = cos(x) cos(y) + sin(x) sin(y)

==>   sin(x) sin(y) = 1/2 (cos(x - y) - cos(x + y))

Then rewrite the equation as

sin(4x) sin(5x) + sin(4x) sin(3x) - sin(2x) sin(x) = 0

1/2 (cos(-x) - cos(9x)) + 1/2 (cos(x) - cos(7x)) - 1/2 (cos(x) - cos(3x)) = 0

1/2 (cos(9x) - cos(x)) + 1/2 (cos(7x) - cos(3x)) = 0

sin(5x) sin(-4x) + sin(5x) sin(-2x) = 0

-sin(5x) (sin(4x) + sin(2x)) = 0

sin(5x) (sin(4x) + sin(2x)) = 0

Recall the double angle identity for sine:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

Rewrite the equation again as

sin(5x) (2 sin(2x) cos(2x) + sin(2x)) = 0

sin(5x) sin(2x) (2 cos(2x) + 1) = 0

sin(5x) = 0   or   sin(2x) = 0   or   2 cos(2x) + 1 = 0

sin(5x) = 0   or   sin(2x) = 0   or   cos(2x) = -1/2

sin(5x) = 0   ==>   5x = arcsin(0) + 2   or   5x = arcsin(0) + π + 2

… … … … …   ==>   5x = 2   or   5x = (2n + 1)π

… … … … …   ==>   x = 2/5   or   x = (2n + 1)π/5

sin(2x) = 0   ==>   2x = arcsin(0) + 2   or   2x = arcsin(0) + π + 2

… … … … …   ==>   2x = 2   or   2x = (2n + 1)π

… … … … …   ==>   x =   or   x = (2n + 1)π/2

cos(2x) = -1/2   ==>   2x = arccos(-1/2) + 2   or   2x = -arccos(-1/2) + 2

… … … … … …    ==>   2x = 2π/3 + 2   or   2x = -2π/3 + 2

Answers

Answer:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 180        y = 180 - x

.60x + .85y = .75(180)

.60x + .85y = 135      Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x + 85y = 13500

60x + 85(180 - x) = 13500

60x + 15300 - 85x = 13500

-25x = -1800

x = 72ounces

y = 180 - 72

y = 108 ounces

find out the area of ​​the following composite figures​

Answers

Answer:

First composite: 30cm^2
Second composite: 18cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area for the first composite = l • w where l = length w = width

We will first need to break it into two pieces!

One piece can be a rectangle shape and another piece can be the square above the rectangle.

Solve for the area of the rectangle!

Area of the rectangle = L • 8

The length isn’t given but we see that the whole length is 5 and if we subtracted the length from the square we can actually get the missing length for the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle = (5 - 2)

Length of the rectangle = 3

Area of the rectangle = 3 • 8

Area of the rectangle = 24cm^2

Now solve for the area of the square!

Area = L • W

Area = 2 • 3

Area = 6

Finally add the area of the two shapes!

24 + 6 = 30cm^2
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Area for the second composite = L • W

Again, we’ll need to break it into two pieces. One piece would be the top rectangle, another piece would be the bottom rectangle.

Area for the top rectangle = 2 • 4

Area for the top rectangle = 8cm^2

Now solve for the area of the bottom rectangle!

Area for the bottom rectangle = 2 • 5

Area for the bottom rectangle = 10cm^2

Finally add the area of the two shapes!

8 + 10 = 18cm^2

A population of deer in Florida grows according to a logistic model, with r = 0.17 and K = 10,000. At what population size is the per capita population growth rate the highest? Group of answer choices N = 1000 N = 5000 N = 8000 N = 10000

Answers

Answer:

N = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth of species per capita of any geographical can be computed by using the formula:

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=rN (1 - \dfrac{N}{K})[/tex]

here;

N = population chance

T = time taken

K = carrying capacity

r = the constant exponential growth rate

From the given equation, we can posit that the value of r will be the greatest at the time the value of dN is highest:

As such, when the population chance = 1000

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=0.17 * 1000 (1 - \dfrac{1000}{10000})[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=0.17 * 1000 (0.9)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 153[/tex]

At N = 5000;

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 85[/tex]

At N= 8000;

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 34[/tex]

At N = 10000

Answer:  y = cos(2x) which is choice C

Explanation:

Normally, y = cos(x) has a period of 2pi. This means that every 2pi horizontal units, the graph repeats itself. However, we can see that the period here is pi units instead.

One way to see this is to start at (0,1). This is a local max point. Move to its neighboring local max at (pi,1). We have moved pi units along the x axis and the cycle is finished, after which point the cycle repeats itself.

Since T = pi is the period, we then can say B = 2pi/T = 2pi/pi = 2

This is then plugged into y = A*cos(B(x-C))+D where

A = 1

C = 0

D = 0

That leads us to y = cos(2x)

Since the period is often connected to time values, it might help to think of this wave's oscillations occurring twice as often compared to y = cos(x). So that might help see why we replace the x with 2x.

a test for diabetes results in a positive test in 95% of the cases where the disease is present and a negative test in 07% of the cases where the disease is absent. if 10% of the population has diabetes, what is the probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive

Answers

Answer:

0.9378 = 93.78% probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test

Event B: Person has diabetes.

Probability of a positive test:

0.95 out of 0.1(person has diabetes).

0.007 out of 1 - 0.1 = 0.9(person does not has diabetes). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.95*0.1 + 0.007*0.9 = 0.1013[/tex]

Probability of a positive test and having diabetes:

0.95 out of 0.1. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.95*0.1 = 0.095[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.095}{0.1013} = 0.9378[/tex]

0.9378 = 93.78% probability that a randomly selected person has diabetes, given that his test is positive.
