An article in the November 1983 Consumer Reports compared various types of batteries. The average lifetimes of Duracell Alkaline

AA batteries and Eveready Energizer Alkaline AA batteries were given as 4.1 hours and 4.5 hours, respectively. Suppose these are the population average lifetimes.
Required:
Let x̄ be the sample average lifetime of 64 Duracell and ȳ be the sample average lifetime of 64 Eveready Energizer batteries. What is the mean value of x̄- ȳ(i.e., where is the distribution of -centered)?

Answer:

The mean is of -0.4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Mean of the sample of 64 Duracell:

By the Central Limit Theorem, 4.1 hours.

Mean of the sample of 64 Eveready:

By the Central Limit Theorem, 4.5 hours.

Mean of the difference?

Subtraction of normal variables, so we subtract the means.

4.1 - 4.5 = -0.4

The mean is of -0.4 hours.

What is represented by p v q?
Stella [2.4K]
\lor is the logical or/disjunction symbol. p\lor q means "p or q". Disjunction is commutative, which means p\lor q is equivalent to q\lor p.

So if p represents x and q represents x>3, then p\lor q\equiv q\lor p means x>3 or x.

The polynomial x^2+3x-1 is a factor of x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1 true or false?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Yes, it is true that x^2+3x-1  is a factor of x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to factorize x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1

x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1\\\Rightarrow x^4-2x^2+1-3x+3x^3

Let us try to make a whole square of the given terms:

\Rightarrow (x^2)^2-2\times x^2 \times 1+1^2+3x^3-3x\\\Rightarrow (x^2-1)^2+3x^3-3x\\

--------------

Formula used above:

a^{2} -2 \times a \times b +b^{2}  = (a-b)^2

In the above equation, we had a = x, b = 1.

--------------

Further solving the above equation, taking 3x common out of 3x^3-3x

\Rightarrow (x^2-1)^2+3x(x^2-1)\\

Taking (x^{2} -1) common out of the above term:

\Rightarrow (x^2-1)((x^2-1)+3x)\\\Rightarrow (x^2-1)(x^2+3x-1)

So, the two factors are (x^2-1)\ and\ (x^2+3x-1).

\therefore The statement that x^2+3x-1  is a factor of x^4+3x^3-2x^2-3x+1 is <em>True.</em>

Find the length BC
Nady [450]
Answer:

The length of BC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

15^2 = 9^2 + b^2

225 = 81 + b^2

b^2 = 225 - 81

b^2 = 144

b = 12

The length of BC is 12
