Brand name producers of aspirin claim that one advantage of their aspirin over generic aspirin is that brand name aspirin is muc

h more consistent in the amount of active ingredient used. This in turn means that users can expect the same results each time they use the brand name aspirin, while the effects of the generic aspirin can be a lot more variable. A random sample of 200 brand name aspirin tablets had a mean and standard deviation of active ingredient of 325.01 and 10.12 mg. A second independent sample of 180 generic aspirin tablets was measured for the amount of active ingredient, and the mean standard deviation were 323.47 and 11.43 mg. Given that the amount of active ingredient is normally distributed for both the brand name and the generic aspirin, do these data support the brand name producers claim? Let alpha = 0.025.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim here is that the brand name aspirin is more consistent in the amount of active ingredient used than the generic aspirin.

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean amount of active ingredients in brand name aspirin and μ2 be the mean amount of active ingredients in generic name aspirin

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean amount of active ingredients between the brand name and generic aspirin

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 ≥ μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 ≥ 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 < μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 < 0

This is a left tailed test

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 325.01

x2 = 323.47

s1 = 10.12

s2 = 11.43

n1 = 200

n2 = 180

t = (325.01 - 323.47)/√(10.12²/200 + 11.43²/180)

t = 1.24

1.237877

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [10.12²/200 + 11.43²/180]²/[(1/200 - 1)(10.12²/200)² + (1/180 - 1)(11.43²/180)²] = 1.53233946713/0.00537245359

df = 285

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.108

Since alpha, 0.025 < than the p value, 0.108, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 2.5% level of significance, these data support the brand name producers claim

sergejj [24]

Answer:

72km

Step-by-step explanation:

alex : tomos : annabelle = 2 : 3 : 4

if tomos drove 24km

tomos ratio is 3

so 3 --> 24

<em>1 --> 8 </em>

<u>total ratios --> 2 + 3 + 4 = 9</u>

so total journey is 9 --> 9 * 8 = 72km

find the missing angle measure in each triangle. Then classify the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse. PLEASE ANSWER QUICK ILL
larisa86 [58]
X=72 cause 180-(51+57) so 180-108 and the triangle is acute cause all of the angle measures are below 90 degrees.

So your answer is
x=72
Acute Triangle

If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then show that it is a rectangle.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Given: In parallelogram ABCD, AC=BD

To prove : Parallelogram ABCD  is rectangle.

Proof : in △ACB and △BDA

AC=BD  ∣ Given

AB=BA ∣ Common

BC=AD ∣ Opposite sides of the parallelogram ABCD

△ACB ≅△BDA∣SSS Rule

∴∠ABC=∠BAD...(1) CPCT

Again AD ∥ ∣ Opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD

AD ∥BC and the traversal AB intersects them.

∴∠BAD+∠ABC=180∘ ...(2) _ Sum of consecutive interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 

180∘

From (1) and (2) ,

∠BAD=∠ABC=90∘

∴∠A=90∘ and ∠C=90∘

Parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle.
