A market research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the retail sales of their products from samples of retail stores

. Marketing managers are prone to look at the estimate and ignore sampling error. A random sample of 36 stores this year shows mean sales of 53 units of a small appliance with a standard deviation of 12 units. During the same point in time last year, a random sample of 49 stores had mean sales of 41 units with standard deviation 6 units.
It is of interest to construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in population means ?1??2, where ?1 is the mean of this year's sales and ?2 is the mean of last year's sales.

Enter values below rounded to three decimal places.

(a) The estimate is: _________ .

(b) The standard error is: ____________________ .

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference of means is (7.67, 16.33).

The estimate is Md = 12.

The standard error is sM_d = 2.176.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between means.

The sample 1 (this year's sales), of size n1=36 has a mean of 53 and a standard deviation of 12.

The sample 2 (last year's sales), of size n2=49 has a mean of 41 and a standard deviation of 6.

The difference between sample means is Md=12.

M_d=M_1-M_2=53-41=12

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{12^2}{36}+\dfrac{6^2}{49}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{4+0.735}=\sqrt{4.735}=2.176

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n_1+n_2-1=36+49-2=83

The critical t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 83 degrees of fredom is t=1.989.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t \cdot s_{M_d}=1.989 \cdot 2.176=4.328

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = 12-4.328=7.67\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = 12+4.328=16.33

The 95% confidence interval for the difference of means is (7.67, 16.33).

Which is f(5) for the function â€""2x2 2x â€"" 3? â€""107 â€""63 â€""43 â€""37.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Option B: 63

<h2>Given that:</h2>

The given function is    f(x)=2x^2+2x+3

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

To evaluate the value of a function at given value of input, you should replace the variable given in the function with the value of input that is given, in your case it is x = 5.

For x = 5, we have

f(5) = 50 + 10 + 3      = 63

Similarly, you will be able to evaluate the value of the function for any other input given, which is assumed to be valid.

Hence option b: 63 is the correct option.

write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line whose y-intercept is -3 and the line is perpendicular line whose equation
Artemon [7]

first you need to find the slope of he current equation by changing it to y=mx+b

3x-2y=9  subtract 3x from both sides

-2y=-3x+9  divide both sides by -2

y+3/2x-9/2  Your slope of the existing is 3/2 or 1 1/2

a perpendicular line has the opposite reciprocal slope so 3/2 would be -2/3

-3 is your y intercept. now you can make your equation

y=-2/3x-3
