Answer:

SE= \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma^2_2}{n_2}}

And for this case if we have the same sample size we got the minimum value when we have the higher value fo n for each one and for this case would be the answer:

b. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

n_1 = n_2 = 100

\mu_1 = 85.6

\mu_2 = 82.1

\sigma_1 =12.4

\sigma_2 = 8.9

We assume that the variable of interest is the linear combination of the two means and for this case the standard error would be given by:

SE= \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma^2_2}{n_2}}

And for this case if we have the same sample size we got the minimum value when we have the higher value fo n for each one and for this case would be the answer:

b. 120

If a=12 and 120% of a is equal to 80% of b then what is a+b
mojhsa [17]
A=12
120% of a =80% of b
120%a = 80%b
120a/100 = 80b/100
Divide through by 100
120a = 80b
Divide through by 80
120a/80 = b
But a=12
120x 12/80 = b
18 = b
b = 18

a+b = 12 + 18 = 30
