A machine is used to fill plastic bottles with bleach. A sample of 18 bottles had a mean fill volume of 2.007 L and a standard d

eviation of 0.010 L. The machine is then moved to another location. A sample of 10 bottles filled at the new location had a mean fill volume of 2.001 L and a standard deviation of 0.012 L. It is believed that moving the machine may have changed the mean fill volume, but it is unlikely to have changed the standard deviation. Assume that both samples come from approximately normal populations and have equal variance. The 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean fill volumes at the two locations is approximately

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean fill volumes at the two locations is;

-0.1175665 L < μ₁ - μ₂ < 0.1295665 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bottles in the sample at the first location, n₁ = 18 bottles

The mean fill volume, \bar{x}_{1} = 2.007 L

The standard deviation, σ₁ = 0.010 L

The number of bottles in the sample at the second location, n₂ = 10 bottles

The mean fill volume, \bar{x}_{2} = 2.001 L

The standard deviation, σ₂ = 0.012 L

The nature of the variance of the two samples = Equal variance

The confidence interval of the statistics, C = 99%

The difference between the mean

\mu_1 - \mu_2 = \left (\bar{x}_{1}- \bar{x}_{2}  \right )\pm t_{\alpha /2} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}

(1 - C)/2 = (1 - 0.99)/2 = 0.005, the degrees of freedom, f = n₁ - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

∴ t_{\alpha /2} = 3.25

Therefore, we have;

\mu_1 - \mu_2 = \left (2.007- 2.001  \right )\pm 3.25 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.01^{2}}{18}+\dfrac{0.12^{2}}{10}}

Therefore, we have the difference of the two means given as follows;

-0.1175665 L < μ₁ - μ₂ < 0.1295665 L

Find the distance between the points -18 and -42. Show your work for full credit. (2 points.)
Masja [62]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way: 42 - 18 = 24, then translate it to negative 24 because your numbers are negative.

A little bit harder way: -42 + (-18) or -42 + 18 = -24
