Why do you think gas stations often quote a price per gallon that ends in 9/10 of a cent? Do you think this is an appropriate us

e of fractions? Why or why not?​

The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price.

Answer:

f(7) - f(-7)

= (4 - 7^2) - ((-7)^3 - 2*(-7))

= -45 - (-329)

A crossover trial is a type of experiment used to compare two drugs. Subjects take one drug for a period of time and then switch
zysi [14]

Answer:

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{-0.714 -0}{\frac{1.38}{\sqrt{7}}}=-1.369

df=n-1=7-1=6

p_v =2*P(t_{(6)}

We see that the p value is higher than the ususal significance levels commonly used of 1% or 5% so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is not enough evidence to conclude that we have a different response between the two drugs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given by the problem

Subject  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Drug A  6 3 4 5 7 1 4

Drug B  5 1 5 5 5 2 2

x=value for drug A , y = value for drug B

x: 6 3 4 5 7 1 4  

y: 5 1 5 5 5 2 2

We want to verify if the mean response differs between the two drugs then  the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_y- \mu_x = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_y -\mu_x \neq 0

We can begin calculating the difference d_i=y_i-x_i and we obtain this:

d: -1, -2, 1, 0, -2, 1, -2

Now we can calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=-0.714

Now we can find the the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

s_d =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}}=1.38

And now we can calculate the statistic given by :

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{-0.714 -0}{\frac{1.38}{\sqrt{7}}}=-1.369

Now we can find the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=7-1=6

We can calculate the p value, since we have a two tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v =2*P(t_{(6)}

We see that the p value is higher than the ususal significance levels commonly used of 1% or 5% so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is not enough evidence to conclude that we have a different response between the two drugs
