Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 is really -1 * 4

-4² = -1 * 4²

-4² = -1 * 16

-4² = -16

Use parenthesis to square

(-1 * 4)² = (-4)²

(-4)² = 16

July average temperature: 78°F,January average temperature: 52°F What is the percentage difference?

ycow [4]

I’m guessing you subtract 78-52 then divide by original which was 52.. so July is 50% warmer.

How do you use distributive property to solve 3,649 x 6

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

21894

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since we want to use the distrubutive property, we ant to simplify 3,649

3000+600+40+9

now, multiply 6 to each one of those numbers:

18000+3600+240+54

add them together to get one number

21894

And that's how I think it's done.

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:

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

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

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

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).
