Researchers are interested in the effect of a certain nutrient on the growth rate of plant seeding. Use a hydroponics grow proce

dure that utilized water containing the nutrient, they planted 6 tomato plants and recorded the heights of each plant 14 days after germination. those heights were 54.2, 59.8, 61.8, 63.3, 65.1, 71.4

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (56.604;68.596)

The 99% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (53.196;72.004)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

When we compute a confidence interval for the mean, we are interested on the parameter population mean, and we use the info from the sample to estimate this parameter.

2) Basic operations

The sample mean can be calculated with the following formula

\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}

Using excel we can use this function to calculate the mean:

=AVERAGE(54.2,59.8,61.8,63.3,65.1,71.4)

The value obtained is \bar X=62.6

In order to find the sample deviation we can use this formula

s=\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(x_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And using excel we can use this function to calculate the sample standard deviation:

=STDEV.S(54.2,59.8,61.8,63.3,65.1,71.4)

The value obtained is s=5.713

The sample size for this case is n=6, n<30 so then is better use the t distribution to calculate the margin of error. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case df=n-1=6-1=5

The formula for the confidence interval would be given by:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

3) Part a

If we want a 95% or 0.95 of confidence, then the value for the signficance is \alpha=1-0.95=0.05, and \alpha/2=0.025, and 1-\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.975 so we can find the critical t value with the following formula in excel:

=T.INV(0.975,5)

And we got t_{\alpha/2}= 2.571

And we can replace into equation (1) and we got:

62.6 \pm 2.571\frac{5.713}{\sqrt{6}}

And using excel with the following formulas we got:

=62.6-2.571*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 56.604

=62.6+2.571*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 68.596

So the 95% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (56.604;68.596)

4) Part b

If we want a 99% or 0.99 of confidence, then the value for the signficance is \alpha=1-0.99=0.01, and \alpha/2=0.005, and 1-\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.995 so we can find the critical t value with the following formula in excel:

=T.INV(0.995,5)

And we got t_{\alpha/2}= 4.032

And we can replace into equation (1) and we got:

62.6 \pm 4.032\frac{5.713}{\sqrt{6}}

And using excel with the following formulas we got:

=62.6-4.032*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 53.196

=62.6+4.032*(5.713/SQRT(6)) = 72.004

So the 99% confidence interval for the mean would be given by (53.196;72.004)

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

I think 47 and 55

Explanation:

I think that each number is the previous one plus 8;

7+8=15

15+8=23

23+8=31

31+8=39

So, next will be:

39+8=47

47+8=55

What is the first step to take when solving this linear system of equations by the addition-subtraction method? 2x + 4y = 3 x +
Free_Kalibri [48]

The right answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are;

2x+4y=3    Eqn 1

x+3y=13    Eqn 2

When we use subtraction-addition method, we make one of the variables same with opposite signs so that only one variable remains after addition or subtraction.

In the given problem, we will multiply Eqn 2 with "-2" so that the x variables become equal and then we can add both the equations and solve for y.

Therefore,

The first step will be to multiply the second equation by -2 to solve the linear system of equations.

The right answer is Option D.
