Answer:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_}{n_2}}

And replacing we got:

(9.2 -8.8) - 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.2903

(9.2 -8.8) + 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.5097

And the confidence interval for the difference of means would be given by:

0.2903 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 0.5097

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

We have the following data given:

\bar X_1 = 9.2 , \bar X_2 = 8.8, \sigma_1= 0.3, n_1 = 27, \sigma_2 = 0.1, n_2 = 30

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 93% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.93=0.07 and \alpha/2 =0.035. And the critical value would be given by:  

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.811, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.811  

The confidence interval is given by:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{s^2_}{n_2}}

And replacing we got:

(9.2 -8.8) - 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.2903

(9.2 -8.8) + 1.811 \sqrt{\frac{0.3^2}{27}+\frac{0.1^2}{30}}= 0.5097

And the confidence interval for the difference of means would be given by:

0.2903 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 0.5097

Choose the inequality that represents the following graph
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is when the circle is empty, it means it isn't equal to and is either only less than or greater than, when the circle is full, it means it can be less than or equal to 5.

Suppose lines EF and GH are reflected over the line Y equals X to form the lines JK and LM which statement would be true about t
katrin [286]

Answer:

A) JK and LM will be parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

On reflection on y=x line the x co-ordinate changes with y co-ordinate and y co-ordinate changes with x co-ordinate

(x,y)\rightarrow (y,x)

Points on line EF

(0,6) , (-5,-2)

On reflection of this line on y=x the new points we get for line JK are

(6,0),(-2,-5)

Points on line GH

(-4,9),(-9,1)

On reflection on y=x line the new points we get for line LM are

(9,-4),(1,-9)

Slope of line JK

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x2-x1}\\m=\frac{(-5)-0}{(-2)-6} \\m=\frac{-5}{-8}=\frac{5}{8}

Slope of line LM

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x2-x1}\\m=\frac{(-9)-(-4)}{1-9} \\m=\frac{-9+4}{-8}=\frac{-5}{-8}\\m=\frac{5}{8}

For two line to be parallel, their slopes will be same.

m_{JK} =\frac{5}{8} , m_{LM}=\frac{5}{8}

Since slopes of lines JK and LM are same therefore we can say that these are parallel to each other.
