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) ± *
]
[(82.3-81.2) ± 1.708* (6.11*]
[-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!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- A change of variable is a technique employed in solving many differential equations that are of the form: y ' = f ( t , y ).
- Considering a differential equation of the form y' = f ( αt + βy + γ ), where α, β, and γ are constants. A substitution of an arbitrary variable z = αt + βy + γ is made and the given differential equation is converted into a form: z ' = g ( z ).
- This substitution basically allow us to solve in-separable differential equations by converting them into a form that can be separated, followed by the set procedure.
- We are to solve the initial value problem for the following differential equation:
First Step: Make the appropriate substitution
- We will use a arbitrary variable ( z ) and define the our substitution by finding a multi-variable function f ( t , y ) that is a part of the given ODE.
- We see that the term ( t + y ) is a multi-variable function and also the culprit that doesn't allow us to separate our variables.
- Usually, the change of variable substitution is made for such " culprits ".
- So our substitution would be:
Second Step: Implicit differential of the substitution variable ( z ) with respect to the independent variable
- In the given ODE we see that the variable ( t ) is our independent variable. So we will derivate the supposed substitution as follows:
Remember: z is a multivariable function of "t" and "y". So we perform implicit differential for the variable " z ".
Third Step: Plug in the differential form in step 2 and change of variable substitution of ( z ) in the given ODE.
- The given ODE can be expressed as:
... Separable ODE
Fourth Step: Separate the variables and solve the ODE.
- We see that the substitution left us with a simple separable ODE.
Note: If we do not arrive at a separable ODE, then we must go back and re-choose our change of variable substitution for ( z ).
- We will progress by solving our ODE:
Where,
c: The constant of integration
Fifth Step: Back-substitution of variable ( z )
- We will now back-substitute the substitution made in the first step and arrive back at our original variables ( y and t ) as follows:
Sixth Step: Apply the initial value problem and solve for the constant of integration ( c )
- We will use the given initial value statement i.e y ( 3 ) = 6 and evaluate the constant of integration ( c ) as follows:
Seventh Step: Express the solution of the ODE in an explicit form ( if possible ):
