A sample of size 60 from one population of weights had a sample average of 10.4 lb. and a sample standard deviation of 2.7 lb. A

n independent sample of size 100 from another population of weights had a sample average of 9.7 lb. with a sample standard deviation of 1.9 lb. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means.

Answer:

z=  0.278

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

n1= 60 ; n2 = 100

mean 1= x1`= 10.4;     mean 2= x2`= 9.7

standard deviation  1= s1= 2.7 pounds ;  standard deviation 2= s2 = 1.9 lb

We formulate our null and alternate hypothesis as

H0 = x`1- x`2 = 0 and H1 = x`1- x`2 ≠ 0 ( two sided)

We set level of significance α= 0.05

the test statistic to be used under H0 is

z = x1`- x2`/ √ s₁²/n₁ + s₂²/n₂

the critical region is z > ± 1.96

Computations

z= 10.4- 9.7/ √(2.7)²/60+( 1.9)²/ 100

z= 10.4- 9.7/ √ 7.29/60 + 3.61/100

z= 0.7/√ 0.1215+ 0.0361

z=0.7 /√0.1576

z= 0.7 (0.396988)

z= 0.2778= 0.278

Since the calculated value of z does not fall in the critical region so we accept the null hypothesis H0 = x`1- x`2 = 0  at 5 % significance level. In other words we conclude that the difference between mean scores is insignificant or merely due to chance.

A gallon of Moo Milk costs \$5.12$5.12dollar sign, 5, point, 12. What is the price, in dollars, of an 888 ounce glass of Moo Mil
Sladkaya [172]
The correct statement is:
A gallon of Moo Milk costs $5.12 What is the price, in dollars, of an 8 ounce glass of Moo Milk? There are 128 ounces in 1 gallon.

Solution:
Cost of 1 gallon of Moo Milk = $ 5.12

1 gallon = 128 ounces, so we can write:

Cost of 128 ounces of Moo Milk = $ 5.12

Cost of 1 ounce of Moo Milk = $ 5.12/128 = $ 0.04

Cost of 8 ounces of Moo Milk = $ 0.04 x 8 = $ 0.32

Thus, 8 ounces of Moo Milk will cost $ 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

As the recipe is missing in this question, the recipe is found online which given following information

  • Abel needs 5 cups of flour to make brownies.
  • If Abel uses 4 cups of sugar.
  • he will need to use 2 cups of cocoa powder.
  • The recipe will make brownies if Abel uses only 1 egg.

Abel has to make 45 brownies for the sale, this is also missing in this question, however is given in the reference question linked here.

This recipe is to make 9 brownies. Now for 45 brownies the multiplier is found as 45/9=5. So by multiplying quantity of all the ingredients by 5, Abel will be able to make 45 brownies.

Now  in order to make 45 brownies

  • Abel needs 5*5 =25 cups of flour to make brownies.
  • If Abel uses 5*4=20 cups of sugar.
  • he will need to use 5*2=10 cups of cocoa powder.
  • The recipe will make brownies if Abel uses only 5*1=5 egg.

So in order to make 45 brownies, Abel needs 25 cups of flour, 20 cups of sugar, 10 cups of cocoa powder and 5 eggs.

The table gives the probabilities that new cars of different models will have brake failure. The car model that is least likely
melamori03 [73]
<span>All the information we have are the probabilities, and what we need is the lowest number: so let's choose the smallest probability among the numbers: 0.0065%, B 0.0037%,C 0.0108%,D 0.0029%, E 0.0145%. The smallest of the numbers is 0.0029% -it starts with two 00s and the number that follows, 2, is smaller than all there others - so the smallest probability is in option D - and the model would be the corresponding model (but we're missing some information here) </span>
