A polling company conducted a survey asking 40 fourth year students from Ohio and 33 fourth-year students from Pennsylvania about on average, how many hours they spend on the computer per week. Ohio had an average of 52, while Pennsylvania had an average of 33. Ohio and Pennsylvania have standard deviations of 7.22 and 10.11 respectively. Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the difference between these results.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 99.9% confidence interval for the difference between these results is between 12.09 and 25.91 hours per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction of normal variables:

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

Ohio had an average of 52, standard deviation of 7.22, sample of 40.

This means that [tex]\mu_O = 52, s_O = \frac{7.22}{\sqrt{40}} = 1.1416[/tex]

Pennsylvania had an average of 33, standard deviation of 10.11, sample of 33.

This means that [tex]\mu_P = 33, s_P = \frac{10.11}{\sqrt{33}} = 1.76[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]\mu = \mu_O - \mu_P = 52 - 33 = 19[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_O^2 + s_P^2} = \sqrt{1.1416^2 + 1.76^2} = 2.1[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.999}{2} = 0.0005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.0005 = 0.9995[/tex], so Z = 3.29.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

[tex]M = 3.29*2.1 = 6.91[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 19 - 6.91 = 12.09 hours per week

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 19 + 6.91 = 25.91 hours per week.

The 99.9% confidence interval for the difference between these results is between 12.09 and 25.91 hours per week.

What is a diameter?

A straight line that runs through the sideways of a body or figure, particularly a circle or sphere, is called as a diameter of a circle or sphere.

Given:

The diameter of a semicircle is 4 kilometers.

Then the radius of the semicircle,

= diameter / 2

put the y= equation into a calculator and then click graph and then after you see the graph , click 2nd and then graph to get the coordinates

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

just pick three values (numbers)  into the function and calculate the other unknown

You can pick an X or you can pick a Y, then solve for Y or X respectively.

Record these x,y pairs in the table

once you have at least two points you can graph the function

           y = mx + b     y-intercept form of the line function

                                  m = slope    b is the value of y when x = 0

   y = -5x/2 -5      let x = 0      solve for y

   y = -5(0)/2 -5

   y =    0 - 5

   y = -5

  y = -5x/2 -5                          solve for x            

  y + 5 = -5x/2 - 5 + 5             add 5 to both sides

  y + 5 = - 5x/2

 (y +5 )(-2/5)  = (-5x/2) (-2/5)

 (y +5 )(-2/5)  = x       let y = 0    

(0) +5)(-2/5)  = x

      5(-2/5)  = x

           -2   =  x

I'll let you have the third variable to pick  and solve for the dependent variable.  The dependent variable is just wha it sounds like, it is dependent on which ever independent (the value you randomly pick) variable.

Pick either x or y then solve for y or x

  y = -5x/2 -5              solve for y

  x = (-2/5) (y +5)        solve for x

62° & 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 21 :-

We know that the measure of a straight line is 180° .

x + 118° = 180°

=> x = 180° - 118°

=> x = 62°

2x + 1 + 71 = 180

=> 2x = 180 - 72  

=> 2x = 108

=> x = 54°

You were born, your mother deposited 2000 in an account that pays 5% simple interest. How much would the balance be in your account when you enter college 18 years after?

A. 18000
B. 1800
C. 3800
D. 20000

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for simple interest is given as A=P(1+rt), where A is the final balance, P is the initial principal balance (the amount of money that you start out with), r is the annual interest rate, and t is the time

we know that the mom deposited 2000 into an account when the person was born. This is our initial principal balance (the amount of money started out with)

substitute that value into the formula to get:

A=2000(1+rt)

we also know the rate, which is 5% and the time, which is 18

5%=0.05 (we need it as a decimal)

so substituting the values into the equation:

A=2000(1+0.05*18)

A=2000(1+0.9)

A=2000(1.9)

A=3,800

therefore the answer is C
