A sports writer wished to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. To

test this, the writer used eighteen adult male volunteers. These volunteers were randomly divided into two groups of nine subjects each. Group 1 kicked a football filled with helium to the recommended pressure. Group 2 kicked a football filled with air to the recommended pressure. The mean yardage for Group 1 was x¯1=300 yards with a standard deviation s1=8 yards. The mean yardage for Group 2 was x¯2=296 yards with a standard deviation s2=6 yards. Assume the two groups of kicks are independent. Let μ1 and μ2 represent the mean yardage we would observe for the entire population represented by the volunteers if all members of this population kicked, respectively, a helium- and air-filled football. Assuming two-sample t procedures are safe to use, a 90% confidence interval for μ1−μ2 is Select one:
(A) (1.5,9.5)
(B) (-1.9,9.9)
(C) (-5.9,13.9)
(D) (-3.7,11.7)

Answer:

(-3.07, 11.07)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sports writer wished to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. To test this, the writer used eighteen adult male volunteers. These volunteers were randomly divided into two groups of nine subjects each.

Group   Group One     Group Two  

Mean 300.00 296.00

SD 8.00 6.00

SEM 2.67 2.00

N 9     9    

The mean of Group One minus Group Two equals 4.00

 

standard error of difference = 3.333

   df = 16

t = 1.2000

Margin of error = 3.3333* t critical = 3.3333*2.121

 95% confidence interval of this difference: From -3.07 to 11.07

A city water company charges homeowners based on how much water they use in thousands of gallons. The company progressively char
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

  • 1700: $50
  • 2000: $60
  • 7000: $90

Step-by-step explanation:

You can read the answers from the graph. Find the usage on the horizontal scale, and look at the vertical scale to find the corresponding charge.

__

<h3>1700 gallons</h3>

The value 1700 is between 1000 and 2000, so will be between 1 and 2 on the horizontal scale. The graph is flat in that region. The charge is $50.

__

<h3>2000 gallons</h3>

The graph has a jump at 2 on the horizontal scale. The solid dot tells you that the charge is $60.

__

<h3>7000 gallons</h3>

At 7 on the horizontal scale, the graph is increasing from 80 to 100. At 7000 gallons, the line passes through the grid intersection indicating the charge is $90.

Mariana [72]
The amount of money borrowed is $ H
Time for borrowing is 25 years
Amount paid per month M
Amount paid per year 12M
Interest rate paid=I
Let the payment method be simple interest method, then:
I=(PRT)/100
plugging in our values we have:
I=(H×R×M)/100
hence:
I=HRM/100

Bill needs to find the area of the ground covered by a conical tent. The tent is 12 feet tall and makes a 70° angle with the gro
Pie

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the area of the cone we need to find the radius first.

tan 70=r/12

r=12tan 70

area of a circle is given by:

A=πr²

thus the area of the ground covered by the tent will be:

A=π(12tan70)²

The answer is  

A] A=π(12tan70°)²
