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)

Machines A and B always operate independently and at their respective constant rates. When working alone, Machine A can fill a p
pychu [463]

Answer:

The value of x is \frac{10}{3} hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A = 5 hours

Machine B = x hours

Machine A and B = 2 hours

Using the formula: \frac{T}{A}  + \frac{T}{B} = 1

where:

T is the time spend by both machine

A is the time spend by machine A

B is the time spend by machine B

\frac{2}{5}  + \frac{2}{x}  = 1

Let multiply the entire problem by the common denominator (5B)

5x(\frac{2}{5}  + \frac{2}{x} = 1)

2x + 10 = 5x

Collect the like terms

10 = 5x - 2x

10 = 3x

3x = 10

Divide both side by the coefficient of x (3)

\frac{3x}{3}  = \frac{10}{3}

x = \frac{10}{3} hours.

Therefore, Machine B will fill the same lot in \frac{10}{3} hours.

How do you explain to estimate 368+231 in two different ways
Ludmilka [50]
You can use the break apart strategy which would look like:
368+231= 300+60+8 + 200+30+1
Or you could just plain and simple add 368+231

At a particular restaurant, each onion ring has 45 calories and each slider has 325 calories. A combination meal with onion ring
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

There were 6 onion rings and 2 slider in the combination meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of onion rings and y be the number of slider.

Calories in one onion ring = 45 calories

Calories in one slider = 325 calories

Total number of calories = 920

Thus, we can write the equation:

45x + 325y = 920

There are 3 times as many onion rings as the sliders.

Thus, we can write the equation:

x = 3y

Solving the two equation by substitution method, we get,

45(3y) + 325y = 920\\460y = 920\\y = 2\\x = 3y = 3(2) = 6

Thus, there were 6 onion rings and 2 slider in the combination meal.
