The owners of Shaving Ice are concerned that many of their customers are starting to purchase their icy treats from Cold as Ice

because of its new shaved-ice syrup, which has fewer grams of sugar than Shaving Ice. A random sample of 100 strawberry shaved ices from Shaving Ice found a mean of 22 grams of sugar and a standard deviation of 3.2 grams. A random sample of 100 strawberry shaved ices from Cold as Ice found a mean of 18 grams of sugar and a standard deviation of 2.1 grams. Which of the following formulas gives a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean grams of sugar between a Shaving Ice strawberry shaved ice and a Cold as Ice strawberry shaved ice?

Answer:

The correct option is;

4\pm 2.63}\sqrt{\frac{3.2^{2}}{100}+\frac{2.1^{2}}{100}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the formula for the confidence interval of the difference of two means where the population standard deviation is unknown based on the sample mean and sample standard deviation is given as follows;

\left (\bar{x}_{1}- \bar{x}_{2}  \right )\pm t_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{s_{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}

Where:

\bar{x}_{1} = Mean of the first sample = 22 grams

\bar{x}_{2} = Mean of the second sample = 18 grams

s₁ = Sample standard deviation of the first sample = 3.2 grams

s₂ = Sample standard deviation of the second sample = 2.1 grams

n₁ = Sample size of the first sample = 100

n₂ = Sample size of the second sample = 100

t_{\alpha /2} = t value obtained from tables at 99% confidence level and 100 degrees of freedom = 2.626 = 2.63

Therefore, plugging in the values, we have;

\left (22- 18  \right )\pm 2.63}\sqrt{\frac{3.2^{2}}{100}+\frac{2.1^{2}}{100}} = 4\pm 2.63}\sqrt{\frac{3.2^{2}}{100}+\frac{2.1^{2}}{100}}

Therefore, the correct option is 4\pm 2.63}\sqrt{\frac{3.2^{2}}{100}+\frac{2.1^{2}}{100}}.

The length of a rectangular park is 3 feet shorter than times its width. If the length is 123 feet, what is the width of the par
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Width is 120ft but may be different if the "times the width" information is given. Follow the same process.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, write an expression that relates length and width using the information given to you. "The length of a rectangular park is 3 feet shorter than times its width" means that l = 3 + w. Since no number is given for "times its width" we disregard this portion. If you have the information then you would include it here l = 3 + _w.

So using the expression l = 3 + w, substitute l = 123. Then the width will be:

l = 3 + w

123 = 3 + w

120 = w

Jada typically earns$1545 each month, of which $47.20 is spent on electricity. Whick percent of jadas earnings are spent on elec
REY [17]
The equation is asking how much out of Jada's total budget (1545) is spent on electricity a month (47.20).
write this as a fraction 47.20/1545
type into calculator and you get .03055
multiply that by 100 to get it as a percent. you get 3.055%
now round that to the nearest tenth and you get 3.1%
answer 3.1%

Neko [114]

Answer:A triangle has a perimeter of 165 cm. The first side is 65 cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 10 cm less than the second side. Write and solve an equation to find the length of each side of the triangle.

The sides can be found by taking the square root of the area. , where = side. . So the length of a side is 6.3 cm.
