Two random samples of 30 individuals were selected. One sample participated in an activity which simulates hard work. The averag

e breath rate of these individuals was 17 breaths per minute. The other sample did some normal walking. The mean breath rate of these individuals was 14. Find the 90% confidence interval of the difference in the breath rates if the population standard deviation was 4.2 for breath rate per minute.

Answer:

(17-14) -1.64 \sqrt{\frac{4.2^2}{30} +\frac{4.2^2}{30}}=1.222

(17-14) +1.64 \sqrt{\frac{4.2^2}{30} +\frac{4.2^2}{30}}=4.778

So then we can conclude at 90% of confidence that the difference in the two means is between 1.222 and 4.778 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

\bar X_1 = 17 sample mean for the first sample

\bar X_2 = 14 sample mean for the second sample

\sigma =4.2 represent the population deviation

n_1= n_2 =30 represent the sample size ofr each case

We can construct the confidence interval for the difference of means with the following formula:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{\sigma^2_2}{n_2}}

And the confidence for this case is 90% or 0.9 so then the significance level is \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05 the critical value for this case is:

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

And replacing we got:

(17-14) -1.64 \sqrt{\frac{4.2^2}{30} +\frac{4.2^2}{30}}=1.222

(17-14) +1.64 \sqrt{\frac{4.2^2}{30} +\frac{4.2^2}{30}}=4.778

So then we can conclude at 90% of confidence that the difference in the two means is between 1.222 and 4.778 beats per minute

Natali [406]

Answer:

x = 9/25

y = 7/25

z = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 1 .......(1)

3y + z = 1 ........(2)

x + 4z = 1 ........(3)

Elimination 1 and 2

2x + y = 1 | ×3 |

3y + z = 1 | ×1 |

6x + 3y = 3

3y + z = 1

___________--

6x - z = 2 .............. (4)

Elimination 3 and 4

x + 4z = 1 | ×6 |

6x - z = 2 | ×1 |

6x + 24z = 6

6x - z = 2

___________--

25z = 4

z = 4/25

Elimination 3 and 4

x + 4z = 1 | ×1 |

6x - z = 2 | ×4 |

x + 4z = 1

24x - 4z = 8

___________+

25x = 9

x = 9/25

Subsitution 1

2x + y = 1

2(9/25) + y = 1

18/25 + y = 1

y = 1 - 18/25

y = 25/25 - 18/25

y = 7/25

On your own paper graph each system of equations and then describe it: y=x+4 3x+5y=10
ki77a [65]
Each equation form a straight slanting line. For the first equation, it is slanting towards the right which denotes that it has a positive slope. For the the second equation, its plot is slanting towards the left denoting that its slope is negative. Common to both equation is the point (-1.25, 2.75). At this point, the two lines intersect.
