One of your peers claims that boys do better in math classes than girls. Together you run two independent simple random samples

and calculate the given summary statistics of the boys and the girls for comparable math classes. In Calculus, 15 boys had a mean percentage of 82.3 with standard deviation of 5.6 while 12 girls had a mean percentage of 81.2 with standard deviation of 6.7. What assumptions need to be made in order to determine the 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean percentage scores for the boys in calculus and the girls in calculus? Supposing the assumption is true, calculate the interval.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To test if boys are better in math classes than girls two random samples were taken:

Sample 1

X₁: score of a boy in calculus

n₁= 15

X[bar]₁= 82.3%

S₁= 5.6%

Sample 2

X₂: Score in the calculus of a girl

n₂= 12

X[bar]₂= 81.2%

S₂= 6.7%

To estimate per CI the difference between the mean percentage that boys obtained in calculus and the mean percentage that girls obtained in calculus, you need that both variables of interest come from normal populations.

To be able to use a pooled variance t-test you have to also assume that the population variances, although unknown, are equal.

Then you can calculate the interval as:

[(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} }]

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{14*(5.6^2)+11*(6.7^2)}{15+12-2} }= 6.108= 6.11

t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{15+12-2;1-0.05}= t_{25;0.95}= 1.708

[(82.3-81.2) ± 1.708* (6.11*\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{12}  }]

[-2.94; 5.14]

Using a 90% confidence level you'd expect the interval [-2.94; 5.14] to contain the true value of the difference between the average percentage obtained in calculus by boys and the average percentage obtained in calculus by girls.

I hope this helps!

Initially 5 grams of salt are dissolved into 10 liters of water. Brine with concentration of salt 5 grams per liter is added at
DiKsa [7]

Salt flows in at a rate of (5 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 15 g/min.

Salt flows out at a rate of (x/10 g/L)*(3 L/min) = 3x/10 g/min.

So the net flow rate of salt, given by x(t) in grams, is governed by the differential equation,

x'(t)=15-\dfrac{3x(t)}{10}

which is linear. Move the x term to the right side, then multiply both sides by e^{3t/10}:

e^{3t/10}x'+\dfrac{3e^{t/10}}{10}x=15e^{3t/10}

\implies\left(e^{3t/10}x\right)'=15e^{3t/10}

Integrate both sides, then solve for x:

e^{3t/10}x=50e^{3t/10}+C

\implies x(t)=50+Ce^{-3t/10}

Since the tank starts with 5 g of salt at time t=0, we have

5=50+C\implies C=-45

\implies\boxed{x(t)=50-45e^{-3t/10}}

The time it takes for the tank to hold 20 g of salt is t such that

20=50-45e^{-3t/10}\implies t=\dfrac{20}3\ln\dfrac32\approx2.7031\,\mathrm{min}

If a certain number is added to both the numerator and denominator of the fraction 7 6 76, the result is 3 2 32 . find the numbe
puteri [66]
Assuming that the right statement is that if a certain number is added to both the numerator and the numerator of the fraction 7/6, the result is 3/2, find the number, the solution if found in this way:

Call x the number (certain number)

=> (7+x) / (6 +x ) = 3/2

=> (7 + x)*2 = 3*(6 + x)

=> 14 + 2x = 18 + 3x

=> 14 - 18 = 3x - 2x

=> - 4 = x

verification> ( 7 - 4) / ( 6 - 4) = 3 / 2

Answer: the number is  - 4.
