In a study comparing calories in vegetarian and non vegetarian entrees the average number of calories in 28 vegetarian entrees w

as found to be Y¯ = 351 with a standard deviation S = 119 while the number of calories in 28 non vegetarian entrees was Y¯ = 305 with S = 125.
A) Find a 99% confidence interval for µV − µNV.
B) Test at α = .05 that vegetarian entrees have more calories. State the hypothesis, test statistic and your conclusion.
C) If non vegetarian meals have on average 25 more calories (which all other things being equal would lead to a 7.8 kg weight increase per year), how large do the samples need to be to detect such an increase with power .8 at the above level of significance α = .05. Use the statistics obtained above as the parameter values needed for the power calculation.

Solution:

Calculating the polled variance

$ S_p^2 = \frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}$

    = $ \frac{(28-1)\times 119^2+(28-1)\times 125^2}{28+28-2}$

   = 14893

Now we calculate the estimated standard error

$ S_{M1-M2} =\sqrt {\frac{S_p^2}{n_1}+\frac{S_p^2}{n_2}}$

            $=\sqrt{\frac{14893}{28}+\frac{14893}{28}} = 32.61$

Thus , the 99 percent confidence interval is

= $(M_1-M_2) \pm t_{54.001}\times S_{M_1-M_2}$

= 351 - 305 ± 2.660 x 32.6

= (46) ± 86.74

= (-40.74, 132.74)

Now the null hypothesis is :

$H_0 : u_1-u_2 = 0$

Against the alternative hypothesis

$H_0 : u_1-u_2 > 0$

Computing the statistics ,

$t = \frac{(M_1-M_2)-(u_1-u_2)}{S_{M_1-M_2}}$

 $= \frac{(351-305)-0}{32.61}$

 = 1.41

Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they
siniylev [52]

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"?  the 100%.


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x


so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended  up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}
