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

Triangle S R Q is shown. Angle S R Q is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point R to point T on side S Q to form a right
juin [17]

Answer:

RT = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔSRQ is right triangle.

m∠R = 90°

An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.

m∠RTQ = 90°

By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,

\frac{\text{RT}}{\text{ST}}=\frac{\text{TQ}}{\text{RT}}

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{16}{x}

x² = 16 × 9

x² = 144

x = √144

x = 12

Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.

A bowl has the shape of a hemisphere whose diameter is 14 centimeters. If this bowl is filled with water, how many cubic centime
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The cubic centimeters of water it will take to fill the bowl is 718.67 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

diameter of the hemisphere, d = 14 cm

radius of the hemisphere, r = d/2 = 14/2  = 7 cm

The volume of the hemisphere is calculated as;

V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3\\\\V = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}   \times (7 \ cm)^3\\\\V = 718.67 \ cm^3

The cubic centimeters of water it will take to fill the bowl is 718.67 cm³
