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

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 large boxes

3 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations to represent the problem.

let "a" be the number of small boxes

let "b" be the number of large boxes

20a + 40b = 260    This equation shows the numbers of books

a + b = 8                  This equations shows the number of boxes

Solve the system of equations (solve for a and b). We can solve using the substitution method.

Rearrange a + b = 8 to isolate one of the variables.

a = 8 - b    New equation that represents "a"

Since we know an equation for "a", we can substitute what "a" equals into the other equation. There will only be one variable in the equation, so we can solve by isolating. Isolate by doing reverse operations.

Substitute "a" for 8 - b

20a + 40b = 260

20(8 - b) + 40b = 260     Distribute 20 over the brackets by multiplying

160 - 20b + 40b = 260    Collect like terms (numbers with same variables)

160 + 20b = 260    Start isolating "b". Subtract 160 from both sides

20b = 260 - 160

20b = 100    Divide both sides by 20

b = 5    Number of large boxes

Substitute "b" for 5 in the simplest equation

a + b = 8

a + 5 = 8      Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate "a"

a = 8 - 5    

a = 3      Number of small boxes

Therefore there were 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes sent.
