Answer:

a) The expected value of M = 40

The standard error for M = 4

b) The expected value of M = 40

The standard error for M = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some definition to solve the problem

- The mean of the distribution of sample means is called the expected

value of M

- It is equal to the population mean μ

- The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is called

the standard error of M

- The rule of standard error is σM = σ/√n , where σ is the standard

deviation and n is the size of the sample

* lets solve the problem

- A sample is selected from a population

∵ The mean of the population μ = 40

∵ The standard deviation σ = 8

a) The sample has n = 4 scores

∵ The expected value of M = μ

∵ μ = 40

∴ The expected value of M = 40

∵ The standard error of M = σ/√n

∵ σ = 8 and n = 4

∴ σM = 8/√4 = 8/2 = 4

∴ The standard error for M = 4

b) The sample has n = 16 scores

∵ The expected value of M = μ

∵ μ = 40

∴ The expected value of M = 40

∵ The standard error of M = σ/√n

∵ σ = 8 and n = 16

∴ σM = 8/√16 = 8/4 = 2

∴ The standard error for M = 2

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line passing through (0,-3) and (5,0)

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

y-intercept: (0, -3)

x-intercept: (5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Trick question! The problem gives you the x and y intercepts. x intercept is when y is 0, and y intercept is when x = 0!

A typical cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine and every hour approximately 16% ofthe amount of caffeine inthe body i

Over [174]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dC}{dt} = rC$

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

$\frac{dC}{C} = r dt$

If we integrate both sides we got:

$ln C = rt + k$

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

$C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}$

For this case $C_o = 100 mg$ and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

$C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}$

Where t represent the number of hours

b) $C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can assume the proportional model given by:

$\frac{dC}{dt} = rC$

And for this case we can rewrite the model like this:

$\frac{dC}{C} = r dt$

If we integrate both sides we got:

$ln C = rt + k$

If we use exponentials for both sides we got:

$C = e^{rt} e^k = C_o e^{rt}$

For this case $C_o = 100 mg$ and r = -0.16

So then our model would be given by:

$C(t) = 100 e^{-0.16 t}$

Where t represent the number of hours

Part b

For this case we can replace the value t=5 into the model and we got:

$C(5) = 100 e^{-0.16*5}= 44.9329$
