Commuting. there are two routes he could take to work. Aneighbor who has lived there a long time tells him Route Awill average 5

minutes faster than Route B. The man decides to experiment. Each day he flips a coin to determine which way to go, driving each route 20 days. He finds that Route Atakes an average of 40 minutes, with stan- dard deviation 3 minutes, and Route B takes an average of 43 minutes, with standard deviation 2 minutes. His- tograms of travel times for the routes are roughly sym- metric and show no outliers. a.Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in average commuting time for the two routes. b.Should the man believe the old-timer s claim that he can save an average of 5 minutes a day by always driving Route A

Answer:

a)We are 95% confident that the average commuting time for route A is between 1.3577 and 4.6423 minutes shorter than the average committing time for rout B.  

(b) No, because the confidence internal does not contain —5, which corresponds with an average of 5 minutes shorter for route A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

n_1 = 20

x_1= 40

s_1 = 3

n_2 = 20

x_2= 43

s_2 = 2

d_f = 33.1

c = 95%. 0.95

(a) Determine the t-value by looking in the row starting with degrees of freedom df = 33.1 > 32 and in the column with c = 95% in the Student's t distribution table in the appendix:  

t\alpha/2 = 2.037  

The margin of error is then:  

E = t\alpha/2 *√s_1^2/n_1+s_2^2/n_2

E = 2.037  *√3^2/20+s_2^2/20

  = 1.64

The endpoints of the confidence interval for u_1 — u_2 are:  

(x_1 — x_2) — E = (40 — 43) — 1.6423 = —3 — 1.6423= —4.6423

(x_1 - x_2)  + E   = (40 — 43) + 1.6423 = —3 + 1.6423= —1.3577  

a)We are 95% confident that the average commuting time for route A is between 1.3577 and 4.6423 minutes shorter than the average committing time for rout B.  

(b) No, because the confidence internal does not contain —5, which corresponds with an average of 5 minutes shorter for route A.

A)
Let x represent the cost of 1 student, and y the cost of 1 teacher.

B)
In the first group, there's 25 students and 2 teachers. Their total cost is $97.50
So 25x + 2y = 97.50
In the second group, there's 32 students and 3 teachers. Their total cost is $127
So 32x + 3y = 127

We get the following system of equations:
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

C)
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

In equation (1)
25x + 2y = 97.50
25x + 2y - 2y = 97.50 - 2y
25x = 97.50 - 2y
25x / 25 = 97.50/25 - 2y/25
x = 3.9 - (2/25)y

In equation (2), let's replace x by its algebraic value
32x + 3y = 127
32(-2/25y + 3.9) + 3y = 127
11/25y + 124.8 = 127
11/25y + 124.8 - 124.8 = 127 - 124.8
11/25y = 2.2
(11/25y) / (11/25) = 2.2 / (11/25)
y = 5

x = -2/25y + 3.9
x = -2/25 * 5 + 3.9
x = 3.5

So the cost of each student is $3.5, and the cost of each teacher is $5.

Hope this helps! :)

In what ways does algebra act as a tool to improve communication? How does algebra affect how people can learn from each other?

Answer: Algebra acts as a tool to improve communication because much like learning a new language, you have to take baby steps before you can fully get it. This can improve communication because you're learning something new with the help of others.
