The confidence interval is given as lower interval is -0.77 while The upper interval is 1.67

<h3>How to solve for the confidence interval</h3>

Multivitamin treatment

n1 is 10

σ1 = 1.8

x21 = 5

vitamin C treatment

n2 = 10

σ2 = 1.5

x2 = 4.55

zα/2 = 1.645

The formula for the confidence interval is given as

(x1 - x2) ± zα/2\sqrt{\frac{sd1^2}{n1}+\frac{sd2^2}{n2}  }

When we input the values we have above we would have

CI = (-0.7688550 , 1.668855 )

The the lower interval is -0.77

The upper interval is 1.67

<h3>Complete question</h3>

A random selection of volunteers at a research institute has been exposed to a weak flu virus. After the volunteers began to have flu symptoms, 10 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily that contained 1 gram of vitamin C and 3 grams of various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 10 volunteers were given tablets containing 4 grams of vitamin C only. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the flu was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained:

Treated with multivitamin

Days to recover from flu

2.4, 6.4, 9.1, 4.1, 4.6, 6.4, 6.4, 3.2, 6.9, 0.5

Treated with Vitamin C

5.2, 3, 3.6, 5.5, 7.5, 6.7, 1.3, 1.9, 5.3, 5.5

Suppose that it is known that the population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.8 days when treated with multivitamins and that the

population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.5 days when treated with vitamin C tablets. Suppose also that both populations are

approximately normally distributed. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference µµ₂ between the mean recovery time when treated with

multivitamins (μ,) and the mean recovery time when treated with vitamin C only (H2). Then complete the table below.

Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

What is the lower limit of the 90% confidence interval?

What is the upper limit of the 90% confidence interval?

During 9.97 seconds a motorcyclist changes his velocity from v1,x = -36.5 m/s and v1,y = 10.9 m/s to v2,x =-21.9 m/s and v2,y =
svetoff [14.1K]

Average acceleration is defined as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

here

v_f = final\: speed

v_i = initial\: speed

t = time

now for x direction we can say

a_x = \frac{v_{2x} - v_{1x}}{t}

a_x = \frac{-21.9 + 36.5}{9.97}

a_x = 1.46 m/s^2

Similarly for Y direction

a_y = \frac{v_{2y} - v_{1y}}{t}

a_y = \frac{27.5 - 10.9}{9.97}

a_y = 1.66 m/s^2

so above is the acceleration in x and y directions

Four students measure the mass of a standard mass that has an accepted value of 150.0 g. They post their results in a table.
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

This problem seeks to ensure that the student comprehends the meaning of precision and accuracy.

These two key terms are used to express how reliable experimental values obtained are.

  • Precision is the ability to consistently reproduce a result.
  • Accuracy is the nearness of the measure value to the true value.
  • The different between the measured and true values gives the error in the result.

In the problem given, the most accurate reading would be one that has value close to the standard mass of 150g. Any student that reports this value would be reported as accurate.

The precise reading would be for the student that is able to repeatedly produce the same kind of values. This is irrespective of whether the values are close to the true value or not.

By definition, the power is given by:
 P =  \frac{F*d}{t}
 Where,
 F: Force
 d: distance traveled
 t: time
 The power units is watts.
 Substituting values we have:
 P = \frac{21*9}{3}
 Making the corresponding calculations we have: P = 63 watts
 Answer:
 
he uses 63 watts of power:
 
P = 63 watts
