Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

\bar{x_1} = 158.706, \sigma_1 = 25.36 , n_1= 17

\bar{x_1} = 122.471, \sigma_1 = 25.183 , n_2= 17

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

degree of freedom (df) = 17 -1 = 16

critical value= t_{\alpha/2},df = t_{0.025},16 =2.120 (from t-table)

margin of error = t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}}

=2.120\times \sqrt{\dfrac{25.36^2}{17}+\dfrac{25.183^2}{17}}[/tex]

= 2.120 x 8.6467

= 18.33

Margin of error = 18.33

Point estimation of difference = \bar{x_1} - \bar{x_2}

                                                  = 36.235

lower limit = 36.235 - 18.33 = 17.91

upper limit = 36.235 + 18.33 = 54.57

hence, the nearest option near to answer is option C

How much of a(n) 80% orange juice drink must be mixed with 12 gallons of a 40% orange juice drink to obtain a mixture that is 50
Nuetrik [128]

Step-by-step explanation:

how much of an 80% orange juice drink must be mized with 20 gallons of a 20% orange juice drink to obtain a mixture that is 50% orange juice

Answer by mananth(16075) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

--------percent ---------------- quantity

Orange juice 20 ---------------- 20 gal

Orange juice 80 ---------------- x gal

Mixture 50 ---------------- 20 + x gal

20 * 20 + 80 x = 50 ( 20 + x )

400 + 80 x = 1000 + 50 x

80 x + -50 x = 1000 - -400

30 x = 600

/ 30

x = 20

20 gal of 80 % Orange juice
