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:

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

What properties make it suitable to be used for musical instruments?
Stolb23 [73]
<h2>Many properties can be listed out viz. durability, quality, the sound that it produces also depends on the material that is used, etc.</h2>

Explanation:

1. If you take wood then I would say maple, rosewood, cedar, walnut can be used to make "String instruments".

Reason:

The wood that we choose should be perfect and should give long-life to use the instrument.

2. If we consider about strings, then I would suggest that the material that you choose should be "ductile and hard".

Reason:

Thin wires can be drawn.

3. In case of Brass, it should be "malleable metal", so that the outcome of the instrument will satisfy the need.

You need to design a data storage scheme for Hayseed Heaven library data system. There are several hundred thousand large data r
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Make use of hash tables

Explanation:

The appropriate thing to use for this should be a hash table.

A Hash Table can be described as a data structure which stores data in an associative manner. In a hash table, data is stored in an array format, where each data value has its own unique index value. Access of data becomes very fast if we know the index of the desired data. So we can perform Hashing on ISBN Number since its unique and based on the Hash Function w ecan store the Information record.

There is no requirement for printing the file in order - HashTables dont store the data in order of insertions, so no problems with that

It becomes a data structure in which insertion and search operations are very fast irrespective of the size of the data. So Querying books details can be fast and searching will take less time.

It can also be pointed out that it wont be too expensive for Hardware implemtation as HashTables stores data based on Hash Functions and memory consumption is also optimal which reduces memory wastages.

Pls help!!
alexira [117]

Answer:

4.24

Explanation:

First you find the mean of the data set, which is 7. Then to find standard deviation you have to follow the formula which tells you to subtract the mean from each number under the square root : √(2 - 7)^2 + (9 - 7)^2 + (10 - 7)^2 + (4 - 7)^2 + (8 - 7)^2 + (4 - 7)^2 + (12 - 7). Once you solve the parenthesis you square it, once you square it the negatives won't matter. That will leave you with this : √(25 + 4 + 9 + 9 + 25). The formula tells you to find the sum of those numbers (which is 72) then subtract one from how many numbers there are, 5 - 1 = 4, and divide your sum by that number. So 72 / 4 = 18. Then you find the square root of 18 and that becomes your answer.
