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

Which best describes the graph of g(x) = 1/9 sq x<br> PICTURE DOWN BELOW
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

A) The graph of g(x) is shrunk vertically by a factor of 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph g(x) = 1/9√x

f(x) = √x

The altitude of g(x) = 1/9

The altitude of f(X) = 1

When comparing the graph of g(x) with f(x), the graph of g(x) shrunk by 1/9 because of the altitude.

Here with I have attached the graph.

Therefore, answer: A) The graph of g(x) is shrunk vertically by a factor of 1/9

Thank you.

the width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length.If the area of the rectangle is 170 square meters, write the quadra
Anika [276]

Answer:

x^2+7x-170 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate an area of a rectangle, use the formula A=l*w. We know the width is 7m greater than the length. So w = 7 + x. So the area is A= (7+x)*x.

We also know the area is 170. Substitute this value for A and solve.

170 = (7+x)(x)\\170 = 7x+x^2\\x^2+7x-170 = 0
