The NCAA is interested in estimating the difference in mean number of daily training hours for men and women athletes on college

campuses. It wants 95 percent confidence and will select a sample of 10 men and 10 women for the study. The variances are assumed equal and the populations normally distributed. The sample results are:

Answer:

s^2_p = \frac{9*0.3^2 +9*0.4^2}{10+10-2}=0.125

s_p =\sqrt{0.125}=0.354

(2.7 -2.4) - 2.1*0.354\sqrt{\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}}=-0.032  

(2.7 -2.4)+ 2.1*0.354\sqrt{\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}}=0.632  

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".

Data given

\bar X_M = 2.7 represent the sample mean for men

\bar X_F = 2.4 represent the sample mean for women

s_M = 0.3 represent the sample deviation for men

s_F = 0.4 represent the sample deviation for women

n_M = 10 sample size of male

n_F =10 sample size of women

The confidence interval is given by:

(\bar X_M -\bar X_F) \pm t_{\alpha/2} S_p \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_M}+\frac{1}{n_F}}   (1)

The polled variance can be calculated with this formula:

s^2_p = \frac{9*0.3^2 +9*0.4^2}{10+10-2}=0.125

s_p =\sqrt{0.125}=0.354

For a confidence of 95% the value for the significance is \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 = 0.025, the degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n_M + n_F -2= 10+10-2=18

And the critical value can be calculated with the following formula in excel: "=T.INV(1-0.025,18)" and we got t_{\alpha/2}=2.1

Now we can replace into the confidence interval:

(2.7 -2.4) - 2.1*0.354\sqrt{\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}}=-0.032  

(2.7 -2.4)+ 2.1*0.354\sqrt{\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}}=0.632

What are 3 complex fractions that simplify to 1/4??
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>Give 3 complex fractions that simplify to ¼
Complex fractions are bigger fractions that can be simplified into smaller fractions.</span> <span>=> First is 15 / 60
     15/60 = 1 /4
=> second is 50/200
50/200 = 1 / 4
=> Third is 43/172
43/172 = 1 / 4

There are many possible answer. There are infinite complex fractions that can be simplified to 1 /4. I only gave 3 examples to show how simplified fraction works.</span>
