Answer:

S_g=  33.333cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Arc of 30 cm

10% reduction after each swing

Generally sum of geometric sequence is given by the equation

    S_g=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}

Mathematically solving for total distance traveled we have

    S_g=\frac{30(1-(0.10^5)}{1-(0.10)}

    S_g=\frac{30}{0.9}

Therefore the total distance traveled  by the pendulum after 5 swings

    S_g=  33.333cm

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Aria unui paralelogram =6\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Folosind formula:

Aria unui paralelogram = (baza x înălțimea)

                                       = (3√2 x 2)

                                        =6\sqrt{2}

A study was conducted and two types of engines, A and B, were compared. Fifty experiments were performed using engine A and 75 u
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) -6 mpg.

b) 2.77 mpg

c) The 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results, in mpg, is (-8.77, -3.23).

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 estabilishes 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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

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.

Gas mileage A: Mean 36, standard deviation 6, sample of 50:

So

\mu_A = 36, s_A = \frac{6}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.8485

Gas mileage B: Mean 42, standard deviation 8, sample of 50:

So

\mu_B = 42, s_B = \frac{8}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.1314

Distribution of the difference:

Mean:

\mu = \mu_A - \mu_B = 36 - 42 = -6

Standard error:

s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_B^2} = \sqrt{0.8485^2+1.1314^2} = 1.4142

A. Find the point estimate.

This is the difference of means, that is, -6 mpg.

B. Find the margin of error

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = zs = 1.96*1.4142 = 2.77

The margin of error is of 2.77 mpg

C. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results(5 pts)

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -6 - 2.77 = -8.77 mpg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -6 + 2.77 = -3.23 mpg

The 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results, in mpg, is (-8.77, -3.23).
