Some researchers are interested in the GPA difference between freshmen and sophomores. The distributionsof GPAs in both groups a

re approximately normal. From previous school records, we know that themean and standard deviation for freshmen are 3.5 and 0.5, respectively. Similarly, the mean and standarddeviation for sophomores are 3.2 and 0.8, respectively. Independent random samples of 40 students areto be selected from both years (for a total of 80 students).
a. If the sample mean GPA is to be calculated for both groups and we calculate the difference between freshmen and sophomores, what is the expected value for the difference in sample means?
b. If the sample mean GPA is to be calculated for both groups and we calculate the difference between freshmen and sophomores, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means?
c. What is the probability that the average GPA in freshmen is higher than the average GPA in the sample of sophomores?

Answer:

a) E(X-Y) = E(X)-E(Y) = \mu_x -\mu_y = 3.5-3.2=0.3

b) Var(\bar X -\bar Y) = \frac{\sigma^2_x}{n_x} +\frac{\sigma^2_y}{n_y}

And replacing we got:

Var(\bar X -\bar Y) =\frac{0.5^2}{40} + \frac{0.8^2}{40} = 0.02225

And the deviation would be:

sd(\bar X -\bar Y) = \sqrt{0.02225}= 0.149

c) P(\bar X >\bar Y)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{D-\mu_d}{\sigma_d}

d = X-Y \sim N (\mu_d =0.3, sigma_d = 0.149)

And replacing we got:

P(d >0) = P(z> \frac{\bar X- \bar Y -0}{\sigma_d}) =P(z> \frac{3.5-3.2}{0.149}) =P(z>2.103)

And using the complement rule we got:

P(z>2.103) = 1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info:

Freshmem

X \sim N(\mu= 3.5 , \sigma=0.5)

Sophomores

Y \sim N(\mu= 3.2 , \sigma=0.8)

We select a sample of 40 for both groups n_x =n_y =40

Part a

The expected value for the difference is given by:

E(X-Y) = E(X)-E(Y) = \mu_x -\mu_y = 3.5-3.2=0.3

Part b

We know that the sample mean follows this distribution:

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

And we want the distribution for \bar X-\bar Y

And we need to find the variance with the following formula:

Var(\bar X -\bar Y) = \frac{\sigma^2_x}{n_x} +\frac{\sigma^2_y}{n_y}

And replacing we got:

Var(\bar X -\bar Y) =\frac{0.5^2}{40} + \frac{0.8^2}{40} = 0.02225

And the deviation would be:

sd(\bar X -\bar Y) = \sqrt{0.02225}= 0.149

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(\bar X >\bar Y)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{D-\mu_d}{\sigma_d}

d = X-Y \sim N (\mu_d =0.3, sigma_d = 0.149)

And replacing we got:

P(d >0) = P(z> \frac{\bar X- \bar Y -0}{\sigma_d}) =P(z> \frac{3.5-3.2}{0.149}) =P(z>2.103)

And using the complement rule we got:

P(z>2.103) = 1-P(z

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

a)

expected value for the difference in sample means=3.5-3.2=0.3

b)

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means

=sqrt((0.5^2/40)+(0.8^2/40))

=0.1492

c)

z=(0.3-0)/0.1492

z=2.01

P(z>2.01)=0.0222

Sonja [21]
<span>20x + 12y = 1040
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12y' to each side of the equation. 20x + 12y + -12y = 1040 + -12y Combine like terms: 12y + -12y = 0 20x + 0 = 1040 + -12y 20x = 1040 + -12y Divide each side by '20'. x = 52 + -0.6y
thats the first part
then we have
</span>25x + 16y = 1350
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-16y' to each side of the equation.
25x + 16y + -16y = 1350 + -16y
Combine like terms:
16y + -16y = 0 25x + 0 = 1350 + -16y
25x = 1350 + -16y
Divide each side by '25'. x = 54 + -0.64y

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Earth is the planet we live on, one of eight planets in our solar system and the only known place in the universe to support life. Earth is the third planet from the sun, after Mercury and Venus and before Mars. It is about 150 million kilometers (about 93 million miles) from the sun.

What is 18+(-8) + 11 simplified?
FromTheMoon [43]
18 + (-8) + 11

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. So "18-8" is the same thing as "18+ -8".

18 - 8 + 11

10 + 11
