Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a technique for measuring bone health. One of the most common measures is total body b

one mineral content (TBBMC). A highly skilled operator is required to take the measurements. Recently, a new DXA machine was purchased by a research lab and two operators were trained to take the measurements. TBBMC for eight subjects was measured by both operators. The units are grams (g). A comparison of the means for the two operators provides a check on the training they received and allows us to determine if one of the operators is producing measurements that are consistently higher than the other. Here are the data:
Subject
Operator 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 1.326 1.337 1.079 1.229 0.936 1.009 1.179 1.289
2 1.323 1.322 1.073 1.233 0.934 1.019 1.184 1.304
Take the difference between the TBBMC recorded for Operator 1 and the TBBMC for Operator 2. (Operator 1 minus Operator 2. Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Answer:

(a)

\bar x = 0.0075

s = 0.0049

(b)

B. The sample is too small to make judgments about skewness or symmetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 8

\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{} & {S} & {u} & {b} &{j} & {e} & {c} & {t} & {s} &{Operator} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {1} & 1.326 & 1.337 & 1.079 & 1.229 & 0.936 & 1.009 & 1.179 & 1.289 & 2 & 1.323 & 1.322 & 1.073 & 1.233 & 0.934 & 1.019 & 1.184 & 1.304 \ \end{array}

Solving (a):

First, calculate the difference between the recorded TBBMC for both operators:

\begin{array}{ccccccccc}{} & {S} & {u} & {b} &{j} & {e} & {c} & {t} & {s} &{Operator} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {1} & 1.326 & 1.337 & 1.079 & 1.229 & 0.936 & 1.009 & 1.179 & 1.289 & 2 & 1.323 & 1.322 & 1.073 & 1.233 & 0.934 & 1.019 & 1.184 & 1.304 &{|1 - 2|} &0.003 & 0.015 & 0.006 & 0.004 & 0.002 & 0.010 & 0.005 & 0.015 \ \end{array}

The last row which represents the difference between 1 and 2 is calculated using absolute values. So, no negative entry is recorded.

The mean is then calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

\bar x = \frac{0.003 + 0.015 + 0.006 + 0.004 + 0.002 + 0.010 + 0.005 + 0.015}{8}

\bar x = \frac{0.06}{8}

\bar x = 0.0075

Next, calculate the standard deviation (s).

This is calculated using:

s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x - \bar x)^2}{n}}

So, we have

s = \sqrt\frac{(0.003 - 0.0075)^2 + (0.015 - 0.0075)^2+ (0.006- 0.0075)^2+ ....... + (0.005- 0.0075)^2+ (0.015- 0.0075)^2 }{8}s = \sqrt\frac{0.00019}{8}

s = \sqrt{0.00002375

s = 0.0049

Solving (b):

Of the given options (A - E), option B is correct because the sample is actually too small

Which graft represent -3x+5y=-15
azamat

The graph of the function -3x+5y=-15 is a linear function we can draw it by finding the values of y for every value of x.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function:

-3x + 5y = -15

The above function shows a linear function we can write it as:

5y = 3x - 15

y = (3x - 15)/5

If x = 0, y = -3

x = 1, y = -2.4

x = 2, y = -1.8

x = -1, y = -3.6

x = -2, y = -4.2

Thus, the graph of the function -3x+5y=-15 is a linear function we can draw it by finding the values of y for every value of x.

if angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles, angle 2 and angle 3 are complementary angles and the measure of angle 3 is 56 degree
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

34º

Step-by-step explanation: so basically you know a complementary angle is 2 angles that make a straight line and a vertical angle crosses which means 2 angles are congruent to each other so I drew a line that bisected the angle by drawing a line that cut through the right angle and i extended a line down from the right angle so now I have a vertical angle and a complementary so from here I labeled each angle <1 <2 <3  If I know angle 3 is 56º then I know 56 plus __ equals 90º I then subtracted 56 from 90 and I got 34 and since I am trying to figure out what angle 1 is I know that angle 1 and 2 are vertical angles therefore I know they are congruent to each other so <1 = 34º
