Let's say we use "x" of the 25% OJ... ok... well, how much juice is really in that "x" liters?  well, 25% of it is OJ, the rest is water, how much is 25% of x? well, (25/100) * x,  or 0.25x.

likewise, we'll use "y" of the 10% OJ, and it will end up with (10/100) *y or 0.10y of juice in it.

whatever "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 15 Liters, and the juice concentration on that mixture, must also be the sum of their sum concentration.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{liters}{amount}&\stackrel{juice~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{juice}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{25\% juice}&x&0.25&0.25x\\
\textit{10\% juice}&y&0.10&0.10y\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&15&0.17&2.55
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=15\implies \boxed{y}=15-x\\
0.25x+0.10y=2.55\\
----------\\
0.25x+0.10\left(\boxed{15-x}  \right)=2.55
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.25x-0.10x+1.5=2.55\implies 0.15x=1.05\implies x=\cfrac{1.05}{0.15}
\\\\\\
x=7

how much will be it of the 10% juice?  well, y = 15 - x.

A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain sca
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference would be given by (-1.776;0.376)

We are 95% confidence that the true mean difference is between -1.776 \leq \mu_d \leq 0.376. Since the confidence interval contains the value 0, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain.

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".

Let put some notation  

x=test value before , y = test value after

x: 6.4 2.6 7.7 10.5 11.7 5.8 4.3 2.8

y: 6.7 2.4 7.4 8.1 8.6 6.4 3.9 2.7

The differences defined as d_i = y_i -x_i and we got:

d: 0.3, -0.2, -0.3, -2.4, -3.1, 0.6, -0.4, -0.1

We can calculate the mean and the deviation for the sample with the following formulas:

\bar d=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}

\bar d=-0.7 represent the sample mean for the difference

\mu_d population mean (variable of interest)

s_d=1.32 represent the sample standard deviation

n=8 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2} *\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}  (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=8-1=7

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(0.025,8)".And we see that t_(\alpha/2)=2.306

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

-0.7-2.306\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{8}}=-1.776    

-0.7+2.306\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{8}}=0.376    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval for the difference would be given by (-1.776;0.376)

We are 95% confidence that the true mean difference is between -1.776 \leq \mu_d \leq 0.376. Since the confidence interval contains the value 0, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain.
