Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variables of interest are

X₁: height of a professional football player

n₁= 45

X[bar]₁= 6.18 feet

S₁= 0.37 feet

X₂: height of a professional basketball player

n₂= 40

X[bat]₂= 6.45 feet

S₂= 0.31 feet

You need to construct a 95%CI to estimate the difference between the mean heights of professional football players and basketball players.

To study the difference between the population means of two variables, you need these to have at least an approximately normal distribution. There is no information about the distributions of the variables so I'll assume that both study variables have a normal distribution and both population variances are equal.

The statistic you have to use to construct the interval is a t-test for independent samples with pooled sample variance:

(X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂)±t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}*(Sa*\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} })

t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{45+40-2;1-0.025}= t_{83;0.975}= 1.989

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2} }= \sqrt{\frac{44*0.37^2+39*0.31^2}{45+40-2} }=0.34

(6.18-6.45)±1.989*(0.34*\sqrt{\frac{1}{45} +\frac{1}{40} })

[-0.42;-0.12]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [-0.42;-0.12]feet with contain the difference between the average height of professional football and basketball players.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

The cost of renting a bus for a field trip was split evenly among 20 students. At the last minute, 10 more students joined the t
dexar [7]

By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>

Let's say that the total cost is C.

When there are 20 students, each student should pay:

p = C/20

When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:

p' = C/30.

We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:

p' = p - $1.50

Then we have 3 equations to work with:

p = C/20

p' = C/30.

p' = p - $1.50

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

C/30 = C/20 - $1.50

Now we can solve this linear equation for C:

C/20 - C/30 = $1.50

C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50

C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50

C*(10/600) = $1.50

C*(1/60) = $1.50

C = 60*$1.50 = $90

So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

Answer:

$560.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent Tony's average daily balance. The finance charge is computed from ...

... finance charge = 2.25% × b

We can fill in the given value and divide by the coefficient of b.

... $12.60 = 0.0225b

... $12.60/0.0225 = b = $560.00

Tony's average daily balance was $560.00.
