Answer:

  17.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 17 hours between heights of 18.6 cm and 15.2 cm, the candle lost 3.4 cm in height. That is, the height decreased at the rate of ...

  (-3.4 cm)/(17 h) = -0.2 cm/h

In the 4 hours between 12 hours and 16 hours of burning time, the candle will have changed its height by (4 h)(-0.2 cm/h) = -0.8 cm.

The height at 16 hours of burning is then 18.6 cm -0.8 cm = 17.8 cm.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

a) [-0.134,0.034]

b) We are uncertain

c) It will change significantly

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since the variances are unknown, we use the t-test with 95% confidence interval, that is the significance level = 1-0.05 = 0.025.

Since we assume that the variances are equal, we use the pooled variance given as

s_p^2 = \frac{ (n_1 -1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2},

where n_1 = 40, n_2 = 30, s_1 = 0.16, s_2 = 0.19.

The mean difference \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 10.85 - 10.90 = -0.05.

The confidence interval is

(\mu_1 - \mu_2) \pm t_{n_1+n_2-2,\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2}} = (-0.05) \pm t_{68,0.025} \sqrt{\frac{0.03}{40} + \frac{0.03}{30}}

= -0.05\pm 1.995 \times 0.042 = -0.05 \pm 0.084 = [-0.134,0.034]

b) With 95% confidence, we can say that it is possible that the gaskets from shift 2 are, on average, wider than the gaskets from shift 1, because the mean difference extends to the negative interval or that the gaskets from shift 1 are wider, because the confidence interval extends to the positive interval.

c) Increasing the sample sizes results in a smaller margin of error, which gives us a narrower confidence interval, thus giving us a good idea of what the true mean difference is.
