Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are

independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal.
A paint manufacturer wished to compare the drying times of two different types of paint. Independent simple random samples of 11 cans of type A and 9 cans of type B were selected and applied to similar surfaces. The drying times, in hours, were recorded. The summary statistics are as follows.
Type A
x-bar1 = 75.7 hrs.
s1 = 4.5 hrs.
n1 = 11
Type B
x-bar2 = 64.3 hrs.
s2 = 5.1 hrs.
n2 = 9
Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference for the mean drying time between paint A and paint B.
A. 6.08 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 16.72 hrs
B. 5.85 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 16.95 hrs
C. 5.78 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 17.02 hrs
D. 5.92 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 16.88 hrs

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as

Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Where

x1 = sample mean of type A paint

x2 = sample mean of type B paint

s1 = sample standard deviation type A paint

s2 = sample standard for type B paint

n1 = number of samples of type A paint

n2 = number of samples of type B paint

From the information given,

x1 = 75.7

s1 = 4.5

n1 = 11

x2 = 64.3

s2 = 5.1

n2 = 9

x1 - x2 = 75.7 - 64.3 = 11.4

√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = √(4.5²/11 + 5.1²/9) = √4.709

Degree of freedom = (n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1)

df = (11 - 1) + (9 - 1) = 18

For the 98% confidence interval, the z score from the t distribution table is 2.552

Margin of error = 2.552√4.709 = 5.55

The upper boundary for the confidence interval is

11.4 + 5.55 = 16.95 hours

The lower boundary for the confidence interval is

11.4 - 5.55 = 5.85 hours

The correct option is

B. 5.85 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 16.95 hrs

<span>The <u>correct answers</u> are:

x=-3 and x=-8.

Explanation<span>:

We can first write this in standard form, ax</span></span>²<span><span>+bx+c=0. To do this, we will add 11x to both sides:
x</span></span>²<span><span>+24+11x=-11x+11x
x</span></span>²<span><span>+11x+24=0.

Now we can factor this. Look for factors of c, 24, that sum to b, 11. Factors of 24 are:
1 and 24 (sum 25)
2 and 12 (sum 14)
3 and 8 (sum 11)
4 and 6 (sum 10).

The factors we need are 3 and 8, since they sum to 11. This gives us factored form:
(x+3)(x+8)=0.

Using the zero product property, we know that in order to have a product of 0, one or both of the factors must be 0. This means we have:
x+3=0 or x+8=0.

Solving the first equation:
x+3-3=0-3
x=-3.

Solving the second equation:
x+8-8=0-8
x=-8.</span></span>

Acme Company has three identical manufacturing plants, one on the Texas Gulf Coast, one in southern Alabama, and one in Florida.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Somewhere from $50 million to $100 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Hurricanes usually hit the southernmost states of the USA and considering the fact that all three manufacturing plants are in the southernmost states, it would be reasonable to assume that a single hurricane can wipe out at least one or two since Alabama and Florida are really close to each other and Texas is known to get hurricanes. It usually just depends on where the hurricane occurs.

Pls help will give brainly (again)
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify the exponents:

2*(3^6*3*-5)

2*((3*3*3*3*3*3)*(1/3*3*3*3*3))

2*(729*0.00411522633)

Then solve from there:

2*2.99999999457

5.99999998914

Since there is only whole numbers and a fraction present, im assuming you have to round:

5.99999998914

6

6 is your answer

Hope this helps!
