A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before​ treatment, 2

2 subjects had a mean wake time of 105.0 min. After​ treatment, the 22 subjects had a mean wake time of 95.7 min and a standard deviation of 22.2 min. Assume that the 22 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 105.0 min before the​ treatment? Does the drug appear to be​ effective?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatments.

Number of sample, n = 22

Mean, u = 95.7 min

Standard deviation, s = 22.2 min

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 2.58.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z × standard deviation/√n

It becomes

95.7 ± 2.58 × 22.2/√22

= 95.7 ± 12.21

The lower end of the confidence interval is 95.7 - 12.21 = 83.49 min

The upper end of the confidence interval is 95.7 + 12.21 = 107.91 min

The result suggests that there is no significant difference between the mean wake time before and after treatment. Therefore, the drug does not appear to be effective.

What are the parts of an algebraic expression, and how do they relate to polynomial expressions?
Arlecino [84]

The parts of algebraic expressions related to polynomials are variables and coefficients.

<h3>What are the parts of algebraic expressions?</h3>

The parts of algebraic expressions are;

  • Variables which are letters that represent numbers
  • Coefficients are numbers that multiply the variables
  • Constant is a number that is not multiplied by any variable

Polynomials are algebraic expressions composed of variables, constants and exponents, that are combined using the mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication

Polynomials consists of variables and coefficients. The variables in polynomials are also called indeterminates. The coefficients also multiply this variables.

Thus, the parts of algebraic expressions related to polynomials are variables and coefficients.

The statistical difference between a process operating at a 5 sigma level and a process operating at a 6 sigma level is markedly
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A six sigma level has a lower and upper specification limits between \\ (\mu - 6\sigma) and \\ (\mu + 6\sigma). It means that the probability of finding no defects in a process is, considering 12 significant figures, for values symmetrically covered for standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution:

\\ p = F(\mu + 6\sigma) - F(\mu - 6\sigma) = 0.999999998027

For those with defects <em>operating at a 6 sigma level, </em>the probability is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999998027 = 0.000000001973

Similarly, for finding <em>no defects</em> in a 5 sigma level, we have:

\\ p = F(\mu + 5\sigma) - F(\mu - 5\sigma) = 0.999999426697.

The probability of defects is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999426697 = 0.000000573303

Well, the defects present in a six sigma level and a five sigma level are, respectively:

\\ {6\sigma} = 0.000000001973 = 1.973 * 10^{-9} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} \approx \frac{2}{1000000000}

\\ {5\sigma} = 0.000000573303 = 5.73303 * 10^{-7} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} \approx \frac{6}{10000000}  

Then, comparing both fractions, we can confirm that a <em>6 sigma level is markedly different when it comes to the number of defects present:</em>

\\ {6\sigma} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} [1]

\\ {5\sigma} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} = \frac{6}{10^7}*\frac{10^2}{10^2}=\frac{600}{10^9} [2]

Comparing [1] and [2], a six sigma process has <em>2 defects per billion</em> opportunities, whereas a five sigma process has <em>600 defects per billion</em> opportunities.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

0 < x < 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's given that side a and side b both have a length of 6, side c has to be  0 < x < 12.
