A simple random sample of 20 days in which Parsnip ate seeds was selected, and the mean amount of time it took him to eat the se

eds was 14.5 seconds with a standard deviation of 3.98 seconds. An independent simple random sample of 17 days in which Parsnip ate pellets was selected, and the mean amount of time it took him to eat the pellets was 13.9 seconds with a standard deviation of 4.03 seconds. If appropriate, use this information to calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean amount of time it takes Parsnip to eat seeds and the mean amount of time it takes Parsnip to eat pellets.

Answer:

(14.5-13.9) -1.69 \sqrt{\frac{3.98^2}{20}+ \frac{4.03^2}{17}} = -1.63

(14.5-13.9) +1.69 \sqrt{\frac{3.98^2}{20}+ \frac{4.03^2}{17}} = 2.83

And the confidence interval for this case -1.63 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 2.83

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the following info from the problem

\bar X_1 = 14.5 sample mean for the group 1

s_1 = 3.98 the standard deviation for the group 1

n_1= 20 the sample size for group 1

\bar X_2 = 13.9 sample mean for the group 2

s_1 = 4.03 the standard deviation for the group 2

n_2= 17 the sample size for group 2

We have all the conditions satisifed since we have random samples.

We want to construct a confidence interval for the true difference of means and the correct formula for this case is:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}

The degrees of freedom are given :

df = n_1 +n_2- 2 = 20+17-2=35

The confidence level is 0.9 or 90% and the significance level is \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2 = 0.05 and the critical value for this case is:

t_{\alpha/2} = 1.69

And replacing the info given we got:

(14.5-13.9) -1.69 \sqrt{\frac{3.98^2}{20}+ \frac{4.03^2}{17}} = -1.63

(14.5-13.9) +1.69 \sqrt{\frac{3.98^2}{20}+ \frac{4.03^2}{17}} = 2.83

And the confidence interval for this case -1.63 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 2.83

2 1/4 x2 1/4 in mixed number
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5 \frac{1}{16} is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 \frac{1}{4} \times 2 \frac{1}{4}

<u>Step 1: Converting the mixed fraction into  fraction:</u>

Multiply  4 by 2 add  1 to the result.

<u></u>2\frac{1}{4}  =  \frac{4 \times 2+1}{4}

=\frac{8+1}{4}

=\frac{9}{4}

<u>Step 2: Performing the multiplication using the fraction</u>

= >\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{9}{4}

=> \frac{81}{16}

<u>Step 3: Converting the product back to  mixed fraction </u>

divide 81 by 16 and find the remainder

=>quotient \frac{remainder}{divisor}

Dividing 81 by 16 we get  5 as quotient and 1 as remainder

Thus the result in  mixed fraction will be

=> 5 \frac{1}{16}

A side of a led lighting cube is 5 cm long. What is the area of its 6 faces?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Of all 6 faces it would be 150

Step-by-step explanation:

If one side of the cube is 5cm long, then l × w = area of a face, so if it is a cube then all 4 sides are the same on a face so 5 × 5 = 25, so 25 × 6 faces = 150
