The Baltimore Sun reported on a study by Dr. Sara Harkness in which she compared the sleep patterns of 6-month-old infants in th

e United States and the Netherlands. She found that the 36 U.S. infants slept an average of just under 13 hours out of 24, whereas the 66 Dutch infants slept an average of almost 15 hours. Suppose it was 0.5 hours for each group.
a. Compute the standard error of the mean (SEM) for the U.S. babies.
b. Compute an approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean sleep time for 6-month-old babies in the United States.
c. Compute an approximate 95% for the difference in average sleep time for 6-month-old Dutch and U.S. infants.

(a) The standard error of the mean (SEM) for the U.S. babies is 0.083.

(b) An approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean sleep time for 6-month-old babies in the United States is 12.8367< μ1< 13.163.

(c) An approximate 95% for the difference in average sleep time for 6-month-old Dutch and U.S. infants is −2.203< μ1 <μ2 < −1.7969.

What is standard error and how it is measured?

A statistical concept known as the standard error uses standard deviation to assess how accurately a sample distribution represents a population. The standard error of the mean describes the statistical variation between a sample mean and the population's actual mean.

According to the given information:

In United States:

Sample size $\boldsymbol{n}_1=\mathbf{3 6}$

Mean, $\bar{x}_1=13$

Standard deviation, $s_1=\mathbf{0 . 5}$

In Netherlands:

Sample size, $n_2=66$

Mean, $\bar{x}_2=15$

Standard deviation, $s_2=\mathbf{0 . 5}$

(a) For the newborns in the United States, the standard error of the mean (SEM) is determined as follows:

$$\begin{aligned}& S E\left(\bar{x}_1\right)=\frac{s_1}{\sqrt{n_1}} \\& S E\left(\bar{x}_1\right)=\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{36}} \\& S E\left(\bar{x}_1\right)=0.083\end{aligned}$$

(b) The following formula is used to determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean sleep time for babies aged 6 months in the United States:

$$\bar{x}_1 \pm z_{0.05 / 2} \times \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}}$$

$$\begin{aligned}& 13 \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.5^2}{36}} \\& 12.8367 < \mu_1 < 13.163\end{aligned}$$

(c) The 95% difference in the amount of time newborns in the Netherlands and the United States spend sleeping on average is computed as follows:

$$\begin{aligned}& \bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_2 \pm z_{0.05 / 2} \times \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} \\& (13-15) \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.5^2}{36}+\frac{0.5^2}{66}} \\& -2.203 < \mu_1 < \mu_2 < -1.7969\end{aligned}$$

How to convert binary to decimal <br> Please it’s so hard and what is digital and analogue
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

How to convert binary to decimal ?

It consists of digits from 0 to 9. Binary to decimal conversion can be done in the simplest way by adding the products of each binary digit with its weight (which is of the form - binary digit × 2 raised to a power of the position of the digit) starting from the right-most digit which has a weight of 20.

what is digital and analogue?

In analog technology, a wave is recorded or used in its original form. So, for example, in an analog tape recorder, a signal is taken straight from the microphone and laid onto tape.In digital technology, the analog wave is sampled at some interval, and then turned into numbers that are stored in the digital device.

Write a Java class called BankAccount (Parts of the code is given below), which has two private fields: name (String) and balanc
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Here is the Bank Account class:

public class Bank Account {   //class definition

   private String name;  //private String type field to hold name

   private double balance;    // private double type field to hold balance

    public Bank Account(String name, double balance) {  // parameter constructor that takes

//this keyword is used to refer to the data members name and balance and to avoid confusion between name, balance private member fields and constructor arguments name, balance

 this.name = name;  

 this.balance = balance;  }    

   public void deposit(double amount) {   //method to deposit amount

               balance = balance + amount;     }    // adds the amount to the account causing the current balance to increase

   public void withdraw(double amount) {  //method to withdraw amount

 balance = balance - amount;   }   //subtracts the amount causing the current balance to decrease

    public String toString() {  // to display the name and current balance

              return name + " , $" + balance; }  } //returns the name and the current balance separated by a comma and dollar
