A researcher is investigating whether a difference exists in the mean weight of green-striped watermelons grown on two different

farms: one that uses organic methods and one that uses non-organic methods. The mean and standard deviation of the weights in a random sample of 43 watermelons from the organic farm were 18 pounds and 2 pounds, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the weights in a random sample of 40 watermelons from the non-organic farm were 20 pounds and 1.7 pounds, respectively.Which of the following represents the standard error of the difference in the mean weights of watermelons from the two farms? a. 2+1.7b. \sqrt{243+1.740}c. \sqrt{243} + \sqrt{1.740}d. \sqrt{2243+1.7240}e. \sqrt{22+1.7243+40}

Answer: The correct option is d

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard error measures how far the sample mean is from the population mean.

The formula for determining the standard error of the distribution of difference in means is expressed as

Standard error = √(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

where

s1 = sample 1 standard deviation

s2 = sample 2 standard deviation

n1 = number of samples 1

n2 = number of samples 2

From the information given

s1 = 2 pounds

n1 = 43 pounds

s2 = 1.7 pounds

n2 = 40 pounds

Standard error = √(2²/43 + 1.7²/40)

If 2x2 + y2 = 17 then evaluate the second derivative of y with respect to x when x = 2 and y = 3. Round your answer to 2 decimal
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

y''=-1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 2x^2+y^2=17

We have evaluate the second order derivative of y w.r.t. x when x=2 and y=3.

Differentiate w.r.t x

Then , we get

4x+2yy'=0

2x+yy'=0

yy'=-2x

y'=-\frac{2x}{y}

Again differentiate w.r.t.x

Then , we get

2+(y')^2+yy''=0 (u\cdot v)'=u'v+v'u)

2+(y')^2+yy''=0

Using value of y'

yy''=-2-(-\frac{2x}{y})^2

y''=-\frac{2+(-\frac{2x}{y})^2}{y}

Substitute x=2 and y=3

Then, we get y''=-\frac{2+(\frac{4}{3})^2}{3}

y''=-\frac{18+16}{9\times 3}=-\frac{34}{27}

Hence,y''=-1.26

In a statewide soccer competition, 36 games were played. Each team participating in the competition played once with every other
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

9 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total games played was 36 and no team played each other twice, we need to ensure there isn't any double counting.

36 = (n-1) + (n-2) + (n-3) ... + (n-(n-1))

using this knowledge, we can then count up:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

If our highest number is 8, then we know there must be 9 teams, because no team can play themselves.

What are the domain, range, and asymptote of h(x) = 6x – 4? domain: {x | x is a real number}; range: {y | y > 4}; asymptote:
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set for which the function is defined. Our function is the function h(x) = 6x-4. This function is defined regardless of the value of x, so it is defined for every real value of x. That is, it's domain is the set {x|x is a real number}.

The range of the function is the set of all possible values that the function might take, that is {y|y=6x-4}. Recall that every real number y could be written of the form y=6x-4 for a particular x. So the range of the function is the set {y|y is a real number}.

Note that as x gets bigger, the value of 6x-4 gets also bigger, then it doesn't approach any particular number. Note also that as x approaches - infinity, the value of 6x-4 approaches also - infinity. In this case, we don't have any horizontal asymptote. Since the function is defined for every real number, it doesn't have any vertical asymptote. Since h is a linear function, it cannot have any oblique asymptote, then h doesn't have any asymptote.
