Suppose a food scientist wants to determine whether two experimental preservatives result in different mean shelf lives for bana

nas. He treats a simple random sample of 15 bananas with one of the preservatives. He then collects another simple random sample of 20 bananas and treats them with the other preservative. As the bananas age, the food scientist records the shelf life of all bananas in both samples. The food scientist does not know the population standard deviations. What test should the food scientist run in order to determine if the two experimental preservatives result in different mean shelf lives for bananas

Answer:

The two sample t-test

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate test for thus is the two sample t test which is also known as the independent t test. This tests aims at determined whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means in two unrelated groups which in this context are a random sample with one type of preservative and another sample with another type of preservatives.

With this test, the researcher is able to compare the mean shelf lives of the bananas treated with the two different preservatives... The null hypothesis equalises the two means of the sample while the alternative does otherwise.

Enter the number that goes beneath the radical symbol
Lunna [17]

Answer:

185

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems like you're using the Pythagorean theorem, which would mean that b is equal to \sqrt{11^2 -8^2}, which is equal to \sqrt{185}. The number beneath the radical symbol is <u><em>185</em></u>.

Find the cross product of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7Dv" id="TexFormula1" title="- \frac{3}{4}v"

For any scalars c_1,c_2, we have

c_1\mathbf v\times c_2\mathbf w=c_1c_2\mathbf v\times\mathbf w

So

\left(-\dfrac34\mathbf v\right)\times\left(-\dfrac12\mathbf w\right)=\dfrac38\mathbf v\times\mathbf w

We have

\mathbf v\times\mathbf w=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\-2&12&-3\\-7&4&-6\end{vmatrix}
=\begin{vmatrix}12&-3\\4&-6\end{vmatrix}\mathbf i-\begin{vmatrix}-2&-3\\-7&-6\end{vmatrix}\mathbf j+\begin{vmatrix}-2&12\\-7&4\end{vmatrix}\mathbf k
=-60\,\mathbf i-(-9)\,\mathbf j+76\,\mathbf k
=\begin{bmatrix}-60\\9\\76\end{bmatrix}

which makes

\left(-\dfrac34\mathbf v\right)\times\left(-\dfrac12\mathbf w\right)=\dfrac38\begin{bmatrix}-60\\9\\76\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{45}2\\\\\frac{27}8\\\\\frac{57}2\end{bmatrix}

Can some one help me on #25
stiv31 [10]

Ok, the expression represents the total amount paid because the 4 is the total tax being ADDED to the rest of the expression is 3(26-7). We need to distribute the parentheses by doing: 3*26-3*7. The 3*26 is the three soccer balls multiplied the cost of each ball without the balls being on sale, which is the $26. This brings you to $78. However we then need to do the 3*7, which is the three soccer balls being multiplied by the amount of money you save on each ball being purchased since they're on sale. So that would be $21. Then, $78-$21=$57. $57 is the cost of the three soccer balls without the tax, so we then plug 57 back into the original equation and add 4 to it, since the $4 is the tax. And finally, $57+$4=$61, which is the total amount of money the coach spent on the 3 soccer balls.

For the second part of the equation: Since parentheses comes first in PEMDAS, we need to solve the parentheses first by solving 3(26-7). I've explained how to distribute that in the first explanation above. But basically you just distribute the parentheses using the three, which is 3*26-3*21. You then add four when you finish distributing the equation, since addition comes after parentheses in PEMDAS

How much more would be in
lianna [129]

Answer:

It will be $506.876 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for continuously compounded interest is given by  

A = P(e)^{rt} .......... (1)

where, A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate and t is the number of years.

Now, in our case, P = $500, r = 7% i.e 0.07 and t = 10 years.

Then, from equation (1),

A = 500 \times (e)^{0.07 \times 10} =  1006.876 dollars

Therefore, the interest will be (A - P) = $(1006.876 - 500) = $506.876. (Answer)
