A random sample of 45 professional football players indicated the mean height to be 6.18 feet with a sample standard deviation o

f 0.37 feet. A random sample of 40 professional basketball players indicated the mean height to be 6.45 feet with a standard deviation of 0.31 feet. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean heights of professional football and basketball players.

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!

You need to cross a canal and want to determine the distance across the opposite side. Since you're able to take measurements on
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

36.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Measurements for the sides of the canal is given as: 40 ft. and 16 ft.

You solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem

The distance across the canal is calculated as:

√(40² - 16²)

= √(1344)

= 36.66060556 ft

Approximately = 36.7 ft

Therefore, the distance x across the canal = 36.7 ft
