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

Ashley and Keely shared some Hershey Kisses in the ratio of 5:2. If Keely had 12 Hershey Kisses, how many did Ashley have?​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Ashely had 30 kisses! Muah!

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of Ashely to Keely is 5 : 2 and we know Keely had 12. Keely represents the 2 in this ratio, and how do we get from 2 to 12? We multiply by 6. We have to multiply by 6 on the other side too then. 5 times 6 is 30, so Ashely had 30 hershey kisses.

In real life, not in ratio form, Ashely had 30 kisses and Keely had 12.

Please mark brainliest if possible, have a nice day! :)

Jim Hunter has decided to retire to Florida in 10 years. What amount should Jim invest today so that he'll be able to withdraw $
ipn [44]
The following formula is applicable;
A=P(1+r)^n

Where,
A = Total amount accrued after 10 years (this is the amount from which the yearly withdrawals will be made from for the 30 years after retirement)
P=Amount invested today
r= Annual compound interest for the 10 years before retirement
n= Number of years the investments will be made.

Therefore,
A= Yearly withdrawals*30 years = $25,000*30 = $750,000
r= 9% = 0.09
n= 10 years

P= A/{(1+r)^n} = 750,000/{(1+0.09)^10} = $316,808.11
Therefore, he should invest $316,808.11 today.

M angle 3= 31°. Find m angle 4 (complementary angle)
solniwko [45]

Hi, there.

  ________

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8cm} Complementary angles \\ Complementary angles  are angles whose sum \\ is 90^\circ. \text{Using this info, let's consider this:} \\ \text{If an angle's measure is 31 degrees, what's} \\ \text{its \ complement?}\end{minipage}}

\text{Set up an equation, letting a be the unknown angle}

\bold{a+31=90}\\\text{Subtract 31 from both sides}\\\bold{a=59}

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!
