Part (a)
<h3>Answer:
2(2.4+w) = 14.2</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
L = 2.4 = length
W = unknown width
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)
We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2
========================================================
Part (b)
<h3>Answer:
w = 4.7</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)
2(2.4+w) = 14.2
2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2
4.8+2w = 14.2
2w = 14.2-4.8
2w = 9.4
w = 9.4/2
w = 4.7
The width must be 4.7 cm.
Given:
difference in the mean weight gain is 0.60 grams
standard deviation of the difference in sample mean is 0.305
68% confidence interval for the population mean difference is a) 0.305
0.60 <u>+</u> 1 * 0.305
0.60 + 0.305 = 0.905
0.60 - 0.305 = 0.295
95% confidence interval for the population mean difference is c) 0.61
0.60 <u>+</u> 2 * 0.305
0.60 + 0.61 = 1.21
0.60 - 0.61 = -0.01
Answer:
Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question:
Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.
Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.
For Demetria, we have
. So



Vincent got a score of 299.2; this version has a mean of 264 and a standard deviation of 22.
For Vincent, we have
.



Tobias got a score of 7.26; this version has a mean of 7.1 and a standard deviation of 0.4.
For Tobias, we have
.



Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.
