A sample of n = 9 college students is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a new Study Skills Workshop. Each student’s grade

point average (GPA) is recorded for the semester before the workshop and for the semester after the workshop. The average GPA improved by MD = 0.60 points with s2 = 0.09. The researcher would like to use the sample to estimate how much effect the workshop would have for the entire college population. Which of the following is the 80% confidence interval for these data?
A) μD = 0.60 ± 0.09( 1.860)
B) μD = 0.60 ± 0.10(1.397)
C) μD = 0.60 ± 0.01(1.397)
D) μD = 0.60 ± 0.10( 1.860)

Answer:

B) μD = 0.60 ± 0.10(1.397)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

$MD±t_{\alpha/2, n-1} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where

MD=60

n=9

df=n-1=8

$t_{\alpha/2, n-1}=1.397$

$s=\sqrt{0.09} =0.3$

Then the confidence interval is

μD=0.60±1.397*(0.3/√9)

μD=0.60±0.10*(1.397)

In the figure, and bisect each other. Complete the statements to prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Alisiya [41]

Observe the figure below.

Statement Reason

1. AC and BD bisect each other Given

2. AE = EC and BE = ED Definition of bisection

3. $m \angle AEB = m \angle CED$ Vertical angle theorem

Vertical angle theorem states " When two lines intersect each other, the vertically opposite angles are always equal".

4. $\Delta ABE \cong \Delta CDE$ SAS criterion for congruence

5. $m \angle ACD = m \angle CAB$ Corresponding angles of congruent triangles are congruent

6. $AB \parallel CD$ Converse of alternate interior angle theorem

7. $m \angle BEC = m \angle AED$ Vertical angle theorem

8. $\Delta BEC \cong \Delta DEA$ SAS criterion for congruence

9. $BC \parallel AD$ Converse of alternate interior angle theorem

As, $\Delta BEC \cong \Delta DEA$ , so $m \angle CBD = m \angle BDA$ as corresponding parts of corresponding triangles are equal. As these angles are alternate interior angles, so the lines BC and AD are parallel by "Converse of alternate interior angle theorem".

A tank contains 30 lb of salt dissolved in 500 gallons of water. A brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min

Dmitry [639]

At any time $t$ (min), the volume of solution in the tank is

$500\,\mathrm{gal}+\left(5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}-5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t=500\,\mathrm{gal}$

If $A(t)$ is the amount of salt in the tank at any time $t$ , then the solution has a concentration of $\dfrac{A(t)}{500}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}$ .

The net rate of change of the amount of salt in the solution, $A'(t)$ , is the difference between the amount flowing in and the amount getting pumped out:

$A'(t)=\left(5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)\left(\left(2+\sin\dfrac t4\right)\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right)-\left(5\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)\left(\dfrac{A(t)}{50}\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right)$

Dropping the units and simplifying, we get the linear ODE

$A'=10+5\sin\dfrac t4-\dfrac A{10}$

$10A'+A=100+50\sin\dfrac t4$

Multiplying both sides by $e^{10t}$ allows us to identify the left side as a derivative of a product:

$10e^{10t}A'+e^{10t}A=\left(100+50\sin\dfrac t4\right)e^{10t}$

$\left(e^{10}tA\right)'=\left(100+50\sin\dfrac t4\right)e^{10t}$

$e^{10t}A=\displaystyle\int\left(100+50\sin\dfrac t4\right)e^{10t}\,\mathrm dt$

Integrate and divide both sides by $e^{10t}$ to get

$A(t)=10-\dfrac{200}{1601}\cos\dfrac t4+\dfrac{8000}{1601}\sin\dfrac t4+Ce^{-10t}$

The tanks starts off with 30 lb of salt, so $A(0)=30$ and we can solve for $C$ to get a particular solution of

$A(t)=10-\dfrac{200}{1601}\cos\dfrac t4+\dfrac{8000}{1601}\sin\dfrac t4+\dfrac{32,220}{1601}e^{-10t}$
