A consumer group is testing camp stoves. To test the heating capacity of a stove, they measure the time required to bring 2 quar

ts of water from 50 degrees to boiling.
Two competing models are under consideration. Thirty-six stoves of each model were tested and the following results were obtained.
Model 1: mean time is 11.4 and standard deviation is2.5
Model 2: mean time is 9.9 and standard deviation is 3.0
Is there any difference between the performances of these two models? {use a .05 level of significance}. Find the p-value of the sample statistic and do a significance test.
Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the means.

Answer:

a

The decision rule  is  

Reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a difference between the performances of these two models

b

The  95% confidence interval is  0.224   <  \mu_1 - \mu_2  < 2.776

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  =  36

    The first sample mean is  \= x_1   =  11.4

    The first standard deviation is  s_1 =  2.5

    The second sample mean is   \= x_2 =  9.9

     The second standard deviation is  s_2 =  3.0

      The level of significance is  \alpha  =  0.05

The null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is H_a :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      z =  \frac{ (\= x_1 - \= x_2 ) - (\mu_1 - \mu_2 ) }{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2 }{n} + \frac{s_2^2 }{ n}  } }

=>    z =  \frac{ ( 11.4  - 9.9) - 0  }{ \sqrt{ \frac{2.5^2 }{36} + \frac{ 3^2 }{36 }  } }

=>     z = 2.3

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  2.3 is  

       P( Z >  2.3 ) =  0.010724

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      p-value =  2 * P( Z >  2.3 )

=>    p-value  =  2 * 0.010724

=>    p-value  =  0.02

From the value obtained we see that  p-value  <  \alpha hence  

The decision rule  is  

Reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a difference between the performances of these two models

Considering question b

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2 }{n } + \frac{s_2^2}{n}}

 => E = 1.96  *    \sqrt{ \frac{2.5^2 }{ 36 } + \frac{ 3^2}{36}}

  => E = 1.276

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      ( \= x_1 - \= x_2) -E <  \mu_1 - \mu_2  < ( \= x_1 - \= x_2) + E

=>  ( 11.4 - 9.9 ) -1.276  <  \mu_1 - \mu_2 < ( 11.4 - 9.9 ) + 1.276

=>  0.224   <  \mu_1 - \mu_2  < 2.776

Find a polynomial function of degree 3 such that f(10)=17 and the zeros of f are 0, 5 and 8
fomenos

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(0) = f(5) = f(8) = 0, we have f(x) = Ax(x - 5)(x - 8), where A is a real constant.

We know that f(10) = 17.

=> A(10)(10 - 5)(10 - 8) = 17

=> A(10)(5)(2) = 17

=> 100A = 17, A = 0.17.

Hence the answer is f(x) = 0.17x(x - 5)(x - 8).

Madison is making party flavors she wants to make enough flavors so each guest gets the same number of flavors she knows there w
bazaltina [42]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least number of party favors, we have to consider the number of guests.


In this case, there are two possibilities—6 or 8.


For 6: 6, 12, 18, 24 (Add 6 to each number)

For 8: 8, 16, 24 (Add 8 to each number)


Now in both series, the least number (that is in common) is 24. Hence, Madison should make at least 24 party favors.

Which system below has no solution?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system has no solution if the 2 (or more) functions that make up the system do not intersect.  The only pair of functions here that do not have an intersection is found in D. You could graph these 2 on a graphing calculator to see that this is true.
