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

Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

b = -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through (4, 3) and (7, 12). First, we need to find the slope: the rise over the run.

(12 - 3) / (7 - 4) = 9 / 3 = 3.

Now that we have the slope, we can say that m = 3. So, we have an equation of y = 3x + b. To find b, we can use M(4, 3) and say that y = 3 and x = 4.

3 = 3 * 4 + b

b + 12 = 3

b = -9.

Hope this helps!
