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

The price of a commodity has fell down by 15% so that priya can buy 3 more commodities for Rs 1700. What was the original price
erastova [34]

Answer:

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

write out an equation that represents the problem. the original price X fell by 15% to a new price of 1700:

X - (X*15%) = 1700

X(1-0.15) =1700

X=1700/(1-0.15)

X=2,000

convert 15% to decimal form:

15%=0.15

Solve the inequality 5u≤8u−21 and write the solution in interval notation
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5u\leq 8u-21

Subtract 8u from both sides

-3u\leq -21

Divide by -3 on both sides

u\geq 7

Interval notation: [greater/less than or equal to], (greater or equal to)
