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.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinat
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The volume of the largest rectangular box (V) = 81/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>:-

Given volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant

V = l b h

let (x ,y, z) be the one vertex in the given plane

V = f(x, y, z) = x y z

given plane.   Ф (x, y, z) = x + 9y + 4z = 27 ........(1)

<u>Step( ii):</u>

By using  Lagrange multipliers

Suppose it is required to find the extreme for the function f(x, y, z) subject to the condition Ф (x, y, z) =0

Form Lagrange function F(x, y, z) = f(x, y, z) + λ  Ф (x, y, z) where λ is called the Lagrange multipliers

F(x, y, z) = x y z+ λ ( x + 9y + 4z - 27) ......(2)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ x = 0

                                  δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ x =0

                           ⇒ y z + λ ( 1) = 0

                          ⇒ y z = - λ ......(a)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ y = 0

                            δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ x =0

                        ⇒ x z + λ ( 9) = 0

                        ⇒ \frac{xz}{9} = - λ .......(b)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ z = 0

                                  δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ z =0

                                   x y + λ ( 4) = 0

                                    ⇒ \frac{xy}{4} = - λ .......(c)

<u>Step (iii):-</u>

Equating (a) and (b) equations

we get         y z = \frac{xz}{9}

cancel 'z' value we get  x = 9y  .......(d)

Equating (b) and (c) equations

we get     \frac{xy}{4}  = \frac{xz}{9}

cancel 'x' value on both sides , we get

              4z =9y  ......(e)

substitute (d) (e) values in equation (1)  we get

x + 9y + 4z -27 = 0

9y + 9y + 9y -27 =0

27y -27 =0

<u> y = 1</u>

substitute y =1 in x = 9y

<u>x = 9</u>

substitute y =1 in 4z =9y

<u>z = 9 /4</u>

therefore the dimensions are x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

The largest volume of the rectangular box V = x y z

substitute x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

V = 9(1)(9/4) =81/4

The largest volume of the rectangular box (V) = 81/4

Verification :-

Given plane x + 9y + 4z = 27

substitute x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

              9 + 9 + 4(9/4) = 27

           27 =27

so satisfied equation
