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

What can be concluded if angle 1 =angle7
Maksim231197 [3]

From the information given in the question,
the only possible conclusion is:

              If angle 1 is measured and angle 7 is measured,
           the two measurements will be identical.

If angle 1 and angle 7 are related to a particular shape or drawing,
then additional conclusions may be possible, but we'd need to see
the shape or drawing.

X to the third power = 125/27
nika2105 [10]
When raising a fraction to a power, we can raise the numerator and denominator to the power. To find x, we need to find the cube root of both 125 and  27. That is, the numbers that when multiplied by themseelves 3 times result in 125 and 27.

\sqrt[3]{125} = 5

\sqrt[3]{27} =3

So x = \frac{5}{3}

We need help finding the means of the sides of this figure.<br> (Photo attached)<br><br> Thank you
VikaD [51]

Answer:

3) 5

4) 8.2

5) 6.8

6)FG = 6.4

7) EF = 3.6

8)DF = 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached triangle, using trigonometric ratio we can find ∠G as; tan^(-1) (6/8)

Thus, ∠G = 36.87°

Still using trigonometric ratios;

FG/8 = cos 36.87°

FG = 8 cos 36.87°

FG = 6.4

3) EF + FG = EG

Since EG is 10, mean of EF and FG = 10/2 = 5

4) mean of EG and FG = (10 + 6.4)/2 = 8.2

5) EF + FG = EG

Thus; EF = EG - FG

EF = 10 - 6.4

EF = 3.6

Mean of EG and EF = (10 + 3.6)/2 = 6.8

6) FG = 6.4

7) EF = 3.6

8) Using trigonometric ratio;

DF/8 = sin 36.87

DF = 8 × 0.6

DF = 4.8
