A study was conducted to estimate the difference in the mean salaries of elementary school teachers from two neighboring states.

A sample of 10 teachers from the Indiana had a mean salary of $28,900 with a standard deviation of $2300. A sample of 14 teachers from Michigan had a mean salary of $30,300 with a standard deviation of $2100. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean salary in Indiana and Michigan.(Assume population variances are different.)

Answer:

(28900-30300) -2.07 \sqrt{\frac{2300^2}{10} +\frac{2100^2}{14}} = -3301.70

(28900-30300) +2.07 \sqrt{\frac{2300^2}{10} +\frac{2100^2}{14}} = 501.698

The confidence interval would be -3301.70 \leq \mu \leq 501.698 and since the confidence interval contains the value of 0 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the difference between the two states for the salary of teachers are significantly different.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given by the problem

\bar X_1 = 28900 the sample mean for the salaries of teachers in Indiana

s_1 = 2300 the sample deviation for the salary of  teachers in Indiana

n_1 =10 the sample size from Indiana

\bar X_2 = 30300 the sample mean for the salaries of teachers in Michigan

s_2 = 2100 the sample deviation for the salary of  teachers in Michigan

n_2 =14 the sample size from Michigan

We want to find a confidence interval for the difference in the two means and the formula for this case is given by;

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}

The degrees of freedom for this case are:

df = n_1 +n_2 -2= 10+14-2 =22

The confidence is 95%so then the significance is \alpha=0.05 and the \alpha/2 =0.025, we need to find a critical value in the t distribution with 22 degrees of freedom who accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:

t_{\alpha/2}= 2.07

And now replacing in the formula for the confidence interval we got:

(28900-30300) -2.07 \sqrt{\frac{2300^2}{10} +\frac{2100^2}{14}} = -3301.70

(28900-30300) +2.07 \sqrt{\frac{2300^2}{10} +\frac{2100^2}{14}} = 501.698

The confidence interval would be -3301.70 \leq \mu \leq 501.698 and since the confidence interval contains the value of 0 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the difference between the two states for the salary of teachers are significantly different.

Which relation is a function?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a set of related points. A function is a set of related points where no inputs repeat.

A. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3,  2), (2, 1)}

This repeats (2,3) and (2,1). Not a function.

​B. {(4, 2), (3, 3), (2,  4), (3, 2)}  

This repeats (3,3) and (3,2). Not a function.

C. {(1, −1), (−2, 2), (−1,  2), (1, −2)}

This repeats (1,-1) and (1,-2). Not a function.

D. {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3,  2), (4, 1)}

This doe NOT repeat. Function.

1. There are 78 sophomores at a school. Each is required to take at least one year of either chemistry or physics, but they may
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:

\begin{gathered} C=\text{students only in chemestry} \\ P=\text{students only in physics} \\ PC=\text{students in physics and chemistry} \end{gathered}

Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:

C+P+PC=78

Since there are 15 in chemistry and physics and 47 in chemistry, we may replace that into the equation and we get:

47+P+15=78

Simplifying:

62+P=78

Now we solve for P by subtracting 62 on both sides:

\begin{gathered} 62-62+P=78-62 \\ P=16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, there are 16 students in physics

7.7.4 Practice: Modeling: Similarity Theorems will give brainliest
Nimfa-mama [501]

Similar triangles may or may not be congruent

  • The height of the peak is 72 feet
  • The triangles are similar by AA similarity postulate

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

First, we determine the height of the peak using the following equivalent ratios

P B :  B M = T F : F M

So, we have:

PB : 20ft= 6ft : 1ft\ 8in

Express the units in inches

PB : 240in= 72in: 20in

Express as fractions

\frac{PB}{240} = \frac{72}{20}

Multiply both sides by 240

PB = \frac{72 * 240}{20}

PB = 864

Express as feet

PB = 72 feet

So, the height of the peak is 72 feet

The ratio also means that the triangles are similar by AA similarity postulate
