A sociologist was investigating the ages of grandparents of high school students. From a random sample of 10 high school student

s, the sociologist collected data on the current ages, in years, of the students' maternal grandparents. The data are shown in the table below.

Answer:

(69.8-71.6) -2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= -8.908  

(69.8-71.6) +2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= 5.308  

So then the confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

-8.908 \leq \mu_M -\mu_F \leq 5.308

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X_{M}= 69.8 represent the mean for the age of grandmother

\bar X_{F}= 71.6 represent the mean for the age of grandfather

s_{M}= 8.38 represent the sample deviation for the age of grandmother

s_{F}= 6.65 represent the sample deviation for the age of grandfather

n_M = n_F= 10

Solution to the problem

For this case the confidence interval is given by:

(\bar X_{M} -\bar X_F) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_M}{n_M} +\frac{s^2_F}{n_F}}

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n_M +n_F-2=10+10-2=18

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,18)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.101

And replacing we got:

(69.8-71.6) -2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= -8.908  

(69.8-71.6) +2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= 5.308  

So then the confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

-8.908 \leq \mu_M -\mu_F \leq 5.308

The equation of line q is 5y - 4x = 10. Write the standard fom of the equation of the line that fits the following description:
kumpel [21]
<h3>Answer:  -4x+5y = 100</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The given equation is the same as -4x+5y = 10

It is of the form Ax+By = C, where A = -4, B = 5, C = 10

Anything parallel to Ax+By = C is of the form Ax+By = D. The only difference is the C has changed to a D.

This means anything parallel to -4x+5y = 10 is -4x+5y = D, where D is not equal to 10, but it could be any other number.

Plug in the coordinates of (-15,8) to find the value of D

-4x+5y = D

-4(-15)+5(8) = D

60+40 = D

100 = D

D = 100

We have -4x+5y = D update to -4x+5y = 100

The equation -4x+5y = 100 is parallel to -4x+5y = 10, and it goes through (-15,8)

Parallel lines have the same slope, but different y intercepts.

Note how Ax+By = C has a slope of m = -B/A. This means A cannot be zero.
