A student researcher compares the ages of cars owned by students and cars owned by faculty at a local state college. A sample of 138 cars owned by students had an average age of 5.13 years. A sample of 111 cars owned by faculty had an average age of 7.75 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for cars owned by students is 3.45 years, while the population standard deviation for cars owned by faculty is 2.08 years. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty. Step 1 of 3: Find the point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The point estimate for the true difference between the population means is of -2.62 years.

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty is between -3.4 years and -1.84 years.

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 we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the mean, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of variances.

A sample of 138 cars owned by students had an average age of 5.13 years. The population standard deviation for cars owned by students is 3.45 years.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_{s} = 5.13, \sigma_{s} = 3.45, n = 138, s_s = \frac{3.45}{\sqrt{138}} = 0.2937[/tex]

A sample of 111 cars owned by faculty had an average age of 7.75 years.  The population standard deviation for cars owned by faculty is 2.08 years.

This means that [tex]\mu_{f} = 7.75, \sigma_{f} = 2.08, n = 111, s_f = \frac{2.08}{\sqrt{111}} = 0.2658[/tex]

Difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty.

s - f

Mean:

[tex]\mu = \mu_s - \mu_f = 5.13 - 7.75 = -2.62[/tex]

This is the point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

Standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_s^2+s_f^2} = \sqrt{0.2937^2+0.2658^2} = 0.3961[/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 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/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 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs = 1.96*0.3961 = 0.78[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -2.62 - 0.78 = -3.4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -2.62 + 0.78 = -1.84

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean ages for cars owned by students and faculty is between -3.4 years and -1.84 years.

A.

B. 2x = 6. Divide both sides by 2. Ella's lunch cost $3.

O D. X-2 = 6. Add 2 to both sides. Ella's lunch cost $8.

Answers

Answer:

Because it says Klay lunch cost is $2 less than Ella's.

When you're slicing parallel to the base, it would mean "in line" with the base if that makes sense. If we were to draw a line on where we would slice it, and another repersenting the base, neither line would ever touch.

So looking through each possible answer, if we were to slice each shape parallel to the base, only D would produce a circle.

the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of length and width. If L represents the length, then the width is (2L -6), and the area is ...

  L(2L -6) = 1008

  L² -3L -504 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, put in standard form

  (L -24)(L +21) = 0 . . . . factor

  L = 24 . . . . makes the first factor zero

  W = 2L -6 = 2(24) -6 = 42

The length of the rectangle is 24 feet; the width is 42 feet.

Explanation:

In a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards. They are broken down into suits (4 of them: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs) of 13 cards each. Each suit has 13 ordinal cards (A, 2 through 10, Jack, Queen, King).

Here we're asked to draw a card at random and find the probability of drawing either a diamond or a 7.

With probability, we look at the fraction of ways we can achieve some condition (the numerator) over the number of ways we can do something (the denominator).

Our denominator here is 52 - the number of cards from which we can pull 1.

Our numerator is both all the diamonds, 13 cards, and all the sevens, 4 cards, but we need to subtract 1 to account for the double counting of the 7 of diamonds.

The probability of drawing a jack or ten from a deck of cards is 2/13.

The probability of drawing a jack or a diamond is 15/52.

How to calculate probability?

Fact: A deck of cards has 52 cards and in it:

13 cards of diamond13 cards of heart13 cards of clubs13 cards of spade

Another classification:

4 cards each of A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,king,queen and jack And those 4 cards consist of a diamond, heart, club and spade card.

Now coming to the question:

We have 4 jack card and 4 10 cards, therefore total cards =8

Probability: Desired outcomes/total outcome

                  =8/52

                  =2/13

We have 13 diamond cards( in which 2 jack cards are already included) and another 2 jack cards.

therefore, total cards desired=13+2=15

Probability:15/52
