Two catalysts may be used in a batch chemical process. Twelve batches were prepared using catalyst 1, resulting in an average yi

eld of 85 and a sample standard deviation of 3. Fifteen batches were prepared using catalyst 2, and they resulted in an average yield of 91 with a standard deviation of 2. Assume that yield measurements are approximately normally distributed with the same standard deviation.(a) Is there evidence to support the claim that catalyst 2 produces higher mean yield than catalyst 1? Use alpha = 0.01.(b) Find a 99% confidence interval on the difference in mean yields that can be used to test the claim in part (a). (e.g. 98.76). mu_1 - mu_2 lessthanorequalto the tolerance is +/-2%

Answer:

a) t=\frac{(91-85)-(0)}{2.490\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}}+\frac{1}{15}}=6.222  

df=12+15-2=25  

p_v =P(t_{25}>6.222) =8.26x10^{-7}

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

b) (91-85) -2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =3.309

(91-85) +2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =8.691

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and hypothesis

When we have two independent samples from two normal distributions with equal variances we are assuming that  

\sigma^2_1 =\sigma^2_2 =\sigma^2  

And the statistic is given by this formula:  

t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}}+\frac{1}{n_2}}  

Where t follows a t distribution with n_1+n_2 -2 degrees of freedom and the pooled variance S^2_p is given by this formula:  

\S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}  

This last one is an unbiased estimator of the common variance \sigma^2  

Part a

The system of hypothesis on this case are:  

Null hypothesis: \mu_2 \leq \mu_1  

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_2 > \mu_1  

Or equivalently:  

Null hypothesis: \mu_2 - \mu_1 \leq 0  

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_2 -\mu_1 > 0  

Our notation on this case :  

n_1 =12 represent the sample size for group 1  

n_2 =15 represent the sample size for group 2  

\bar X_1 =85 represent the sample mean for the group 1  

\bar X_2 =91 represent the sample mean for the group 2  

s_1=3 represent the sample standard deviation for group 1  

s_2=2 represent the sample standard deviation for group 2  

First we can begin finding the pooled variance:  

\S^2_p =\frac{(12-1)(3)^2 +(15 -1)(2)^2}{12 +15 -2}=6.2  

And the deviation would be just the square root of the variance:  

S_p=2.490  

Calculate the statistic

And now we can calculate the statistic:  

t=\frac{(91-85)-(0)}{2.490\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}}+\frac{1}{15}}=6.222  

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=12+15-2=25  

Calculate the p value

And now we can calculate the p value using the altenative hypothesis:  

p_v =P(t_{25}>6.222) =8.26x10^{-7}

Conclusion

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Part b

For this case the confidence interval is given by:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2} S_p \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2}}

For the 99% of confidence we have \alpha=1-0.99 = 0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005 and the critical value with 25 degrees of freedom on the t distribution is t_{\alpha/2}= 2.79

And replacing we got:

(91-85) -2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =3.309

(91-85) +2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =8.691

What times what equals 11
11111nata11111 [884]
0.5x22=11. To get answers like that, all you have to do is divide 11 by anything and then that number times the number you divided 11 by will give you the answer. So like 11 divided by 4 is 2.75. So 4x2.75=11.

Find (3.3 × 10^4) + (1.9 × 10^5)
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

2.23 \times 10^{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the sum of two numbers following the steps as described in the question.

The question is in the form of fill in the blanks.

Now, the given sum is (3.3 \times 10^{4} )+(1.9 \times 10^{5} )

= (3.3 \times 10^{4} )+(19 \times 10^{4} )

= (3.3+19) \times 10^{4}

= 22.3 \times 10^{4}

= 2.23 \times 10^{5} (Answer)

There are 4 pizzas which each have 12 slices. These pizzas will be divided between 15 people. How many slices does each person g
jasenka [17]
<h2><u>Anѕwєr :</u></h2>

48/15 or 3 whole 3/15

<h2><u>Explαnαtion :</u></h2>

There are 4 pizzas and each have 12 slices. So,

→ Number of slices each pizza have = 12 slices

→ Number of slices 12 pizzas have = (12 × 4) slices

→ Number of slices 12 pizzas have = 48 slices

Now, we have to find the number of slices each person get if they are split evenly.

→ Number of people = 15

Let the the number of slices each person get if they are split evenly be x. So,

→ Total number of slices = Number of people × Number of slices each gets

→ 48 = 15x

→ <u>48/15 or 3 whole 3/15 = Number of slices each gets</u>

Therefore, the number of slices each person get if they are split evenly is 48/15.
