In Spring 2017, data was collected from a random selection of STA 2023 students. One of the questions asked how many hours they

had volunteered in the past 24 hours. For the 39 randomly selected upperclassmen, the sample mean was 0.12 and sample standard deviation was 0.42. For the 35 randomly selected underclassmen, the sample mean was 0.34 and the sample standard deviation was 0.87. What is the point estimate of the difference in the population mean volunteered between underclassmen and upperclassmen?

Answer: 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the best point estimate for the difference between two population mean is the difference between their sample means.

Given : For the 39 randomly selected upperclassmen, the sample mean was 0.12 and sample standard deviation was 0.42. For the 35 randomly selected underclassmen, the sample mean was 0.34 and the sample standard deviation was 0.87.

Let A denotes the population of upperclassmen and B denotes the population of underclassmen .

\overline{x}_A=0.12

\overline{x}_B=0.34

Then, the point estimate of the difference in the population mean volunteered between underclassmen and upperclassmen will be :-

\overline{x}_B-\overline{x}_A=0.34-0.12=0.22

Hence, the point estimate of the difference in the population mean volunteered between underclassmen and upperclassmen =0.22

How do you find a perimeter of a triangle on a graph
Marysya12 [62]

The formula of a triangle is 1/2 base times the height of the triangle. for instance, if the top point of the triangle is at 3 on the graph, the right point of the triangle is at point 3, and the left point is at -3, the formula would be 1/2(6/the length of the base)(3/the height of the triangle at its highest point). therefore, 1/2(6)(3)= 9 units.

The delivery times for all food orders at a fast-food restaurant during the lunch hour are normally distributed with a mean of m
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Let X the random variable that represent the delivery times of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14.7,3.7)  

Where \mu=14.7 and \sigma=3.7

Since the distribution of X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we have;

\mu_{\bar X}= 14.70

\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}}= 0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this question: The delivery times for all food orders at a fast-food restaurant during the lunch hour are normally distributed with a mean of 14.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.7 minutes. Let R be the mean delivery time for a random sample of 40 orders at this restaurant. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of \bar X Round your answers to two decimal places.

Previous concepts

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".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the delivery times of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14.7,3.7)  

Where \mu=14.7 and \sigma=3.7

Since the distribution of X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we have;

\mu_{\bar X}= 14.70

\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}}= 0.59

Help ! Compare these two functions. Which has the greater rate of change?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

We know this is a tough job. What we want is so intimate that no one can write it for you.

You must write it yourself, in the language most natural to you. We ask you to write in

your own words and then record in your own voice. You may even find that it takes a

request like this for you to reveal some of your own beliefs to yourself. If you set them

down they may become of untold meaning to others.

We would like you to tell not only what you believe, but how you reached your beliefs,

and if they have grown, what made them grow. This necessarily must be highly personal.

That is what we anticipate and want.

It may help you in formulating your credo if we tell you also what we do not want. We do

not want a sermon, religious or lay; we do not want editorializing or sectarianism or

'finger-pointing.' We do not even want your views on the American way of life, or

democracy or free enterprise. These are important but for another occasion. We want to

know what you live by. And we want it in terms of 'I,' not the editorial 'We.'

Although this program is designed to express beliefs, it is not a religious program and is

not concerned with any religious form whatever. Most of our guests express belief in a

Supreme Being, and set forth the importance to them of that belief. However, that is your

decision, since it is your belief which we solicit.

But we do ask you to confine yourself to affirmatives: This means refraining from saying

what you do not believe. Your beliefs may well have grown in clarity to you by a process

of elimination and rejection, but for our part, we must avoid negative statements lest we

become a medium for the criticism of beliefs, which is the very opposite of our purpose.

We are sure the statement we ask from you can have wide and lasting influence. Never

has the need for personal philosophies of this kind been so urgent. Your belief, simply

and sincerely spoken, is sure to stimulate and help those who hear it. We are confident it

will enrich them. May we have your contribution?
