A researcher wants to see if birds that build larger nests lay larger eggs. He selects two random samples of nests: one of small

nests and the other of large nests. He weighs one egg from each nest. The data are summarized below:
Small nests Large nestsSample size 60 159Sample mean (g) 37.2 35.6Sample variance 24.7 39.0Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the average mass of eggs in small and large nests.

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the average mass of eggs in small and large nest is between a lower limit of 0.81 and an upper limit of 2.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given by mean +/- margin of error (E)

Eggs from small nest

Sample size (n1) = 60

Mean = 37.2

Sample variance = 24.7

Eggs from large nest

Sample size (n2) = 159

Mean = 35.6

Sample variance = 39

Pooled variance = [(60-1)24.7 + (159-1)39] ÷ (60+159-2) = 7619.3 ÷ 217 = 35.11

Standard deviation = sqrt(pooled variance) = sqrt(35.11) = 5.93

Difference in mean = 37.2 - 35.6 = 1.6

Degree of freedom = n1+n2 - 2 = 60+159-2 = 217

Confidence level = 95%

Critical value (t) corresponding to 217 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 1.97132

E = t×sd/√(n1+n2) = 1.97132×5.93/√219 = 0.79

Lower limit = mean - E = 1.6 - 0.79 = 0.81

Upper limit = mean + E = 1.6 + 0.79 = 2.39

95% confidence interval for the difference in average mass is (0.81, 2.39)

For bone density scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of​ 1, find the percentage of sc
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a) Scores of 2 and higher are significantly high

b) Scores of -2 and lower are significantly low

c) Scores between -2 and 2 are not significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 0

Standard deviation = 1

a. significantly high​ (or at least 2 standard deviations above the​ mean).

2 standard deviations above the mean is:

0 + 1*2 = 2

So scores of 2 and higher are significantly high

b. significantly low​ (or at least 2 standard deviations below the​ mean).

2 standard deviations below the mean is:

0 - 1*2 = -2

So scores of -2 and lower are significantly low

c. not significant​ (or less than 2 standard deviations away from the​ mean).

2 standard deviations above the mean is:

0 + 1*2 = 2

2 standard deviations below the mean is:

0 - 1*2 = -2

So scores between -2 and 2 are not significant.

Help meeeeeeeeeeee:(
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/3)^2x(1/3)^-1

so, we can write this as:

1/3 x 1/3 x 3/1

if calculated by cutting, the answer is 1/3

There is also an easier way to do this,

(1/3)^2 x (1/3)^-1

as the bases are same, the powers will be added.

2+(-1)

2-1

=1

so,

(1/3)^1 or 1/3
