An experiment will be conducted to test the effectiveness of a weight-loss supplement. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to t

ake either the supplement or a placebo for 90 days, with 12 volunteers in each group. The subjects will not know which treatment they receive. At the end of the experiment, researchers plan to calculate the mean weight loss for each of the two groups and to construct a two-sample t-confidence interval for the difference of the two treatment means. Which of the following assumptions is necessary for the confidence interval to be valid?
a. The sample size is greater than or equal to 10 percent of the population size.
b. Each of the two groups has at least 5 successes and at least 5 failures.
c. The distributions of weight loss of the two treatments are approximately normally distributed.
d. The volunteers in the supplement group are paired with volunteers in the placebo group.
e. The expected number of people who lose weight in each group is at least 5.

Answer:

Option c. The distributions of weight loss of the two treatments are approximately normally distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase the confidence level, the results must be able to satisfy the following conditions:

  • The sample size is increased. This reduces the margin of the error in the sampling experiment.
  • Reduction of the variability. This means that the less the data varies, the more precise the data is.
  • Using the one-sided confidence level
  • Lowering the confidence level.

All these characteristics can only be satisfied by the normal distribution curve.

(100 points) Give a step by step explanation on how you solved this problem
Lina20 [59]
Use substitution
Given both y values, you know that they have to be equal

3x + 3 = x - 1
2x + 3 = -1
2x = -4, divide by 2
x = -2
Now plug x value into any of the equation to find y value
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3, y = -3

Solution: x = -2, y = -3

You are currently paying rent every year for your restaurant. You still have a contract that will last 2 more years. Starting to
Andreas93 [3]

The amount to be paid in rent after 2 years if the rent as of now is $3,000 will be; $3,213.675

The question allows that we choose the amount being paid as rent as of now.

Let the rent paid as of now be; $3,000

In essence; after the first year; the amount increases by 3.5% to become;

  • 1.035 × $3,000

  • = $3,105.

After the second year; we have;

  • 1.035 × $3,105

  • = $3,213.675

Ultimately; the amount to be paid after 2 years will be; $3,213.675.

When given the opportunity to change rent contracts;

  • A situation that will be beneficial would be a 3.5% reduction in rent per year
  • A situation that will not be beneficial would be a 7% increase in rent per year.
