Note :- If sample size n > 30 OR Population standard deviation σ is given then We use Z test.
If sample size n < 30 AND Population standard deviation σ is unknown then we use t test.
In this question we are not given Population standard deviations σ1 and σ2.
Also n1 = 14 and n2 = 13 both sample sizes are LESS than 30.
Therefore we use t test.
Given :- Assume the population standard deviations are equal. ( σ1 = σ2)
then Degrees of freedom = n1 + n2 - 2 = 14 + 13 - 2 = 25.
(kindly find the image attached with this solution)
Answer :- Therefore 25 degrees of freedom are used to find the t critical value.
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.
If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.
4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.
This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.
Answer:
The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.
You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 2
a*b = 3
1/a + 1/b = x
(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x
b + a = (a*b)(x)
2 = 3x
x = 2/3
b = 2 - a
a*(2 - a) = 3
-a^2 + 2a = 3
-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0
a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0
(a - 1)^2 = -2
these options correspond to a and b from the original question.
