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)

The number of letters in Stephanie's full name is sixteen less than twice the number of letters in Amy's full name. If the numbe
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

19 letters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Number of Amy's full name letters = X

               Number of Stephanie's full name letters = Y

Now, according to given condition that ''number of letters in Stephanie's full name is sixteen less than twice the number of letters in Amy's full name'',

Equation 1 becomes

Y = 2X-16

Now, according to second condition, product of their names' letter is 418. So,

Equation 2 becomes

XY = 418

Deducing value of X from equation 1,

X = (Y+16)/2

Putting this value in equation 2 we get,

{(Y+16)/2}*Y = 418,

By simplifying this equation we get a quadritic equation

(Y^2)+16Y-836=0

By breaking middle term (You can use quadratic formula here as well)

(Y^2)+38Y-22Y-836=0

Y(Y+38)-22(Y+38)=0

(Y-22)(Y+38)=0

At this stage we have two values for Y,

Y=22, or Y=-38

Now considering only positive value since the number of letters in a name can not be in negative number,

Y=22,

So X=(Y+16)/2

X=19

If C is the MIDPOINT of BD, and BD equals 12, then what does CD equal?
AD = AC+CD, so you only need to find length of CD and add length of AC (which you already have) to it.

Mrs.Kunkleman asks her students to write the Pythagorean theorem in their own words
masha68 [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be understood as a mathematical relationship between the sides of a right triangle that helps to understand geometric problems in real situations, such as finding measurements, calculating areas, etc.

The theorem says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other sides.

In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, on the side opposite to its longest angle, and the other two sides will be the sides. So the Pythagorean theorem formula is:

a² = b² + c²

where a represents the hypotenuse and b and c the other sides.

Halla la tasa de variación de cada funcion en el intervalo [-4,3] e indica si es positiva , negativa o nula A) f(x)=x2-2x+4 B) f
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A) \hspace{3}Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=-5\hspace{3}Negative\\\\B)\hspace{3}Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=-21\hspace{3}Negative  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x), we called the rate of change to the number that represents the increase or decrease that the function experiences when increasing the independent variable from one value "x_1" to another "x_2".

The rate of change of f(x) between x_1 and x_2 can be calculated as follows:

Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=f(x_2)-f(x_1)

For:

f(x)=x^2-2x+4

Let's find f(x_1) and f(x_2), where:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=(-4)^2-2(4)+4=16-8+4=12\\f(x_2)=f(3)=(3)^2-2(3)+4=9-6+4=7

So:

Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change =7-12=-5\hspace{3}Negative

And for:

f(x)-3x+2

Let's find f(x_1) and f(x_2), where:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7

So:

Rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change =-7-14=-21\hspace{3}Negative

<em>Translation:</em>

Dada una función f(x), llamábamos tasa de variación al número que representa el aumento o disminución que experimenta la función al aumentar la variable independiente de un valor "x_1" a otro "x_2".

La tasa de variación de f(x) entre x_1 y x_2, puede ser calculada de la siguiente forma:

Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion=f(x_2)-f(x_1)

Para:

f(x)=x^2-2x+4

Encontremos f(x_1) y f(x_2), donde:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7

Entonces:

Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion =7-12=-5\hspace{3}Negativa

Y para:

f(x)-3x+2

Encontremos f(x_1) y f(x_2), donde:

[x_1,x_2]=[-4,3]

f(x_1)=f(-4)=-3(-4)+2=12+2=14\\f(x_2)=f(3)=-3(3)+2=-9+2=-7

Entonces:

Tasa\hspace{3}de\hspace{3}variacion=-7-14=-21\hspace{3}Negativa
