The age at which small breed dogs are fully housebroken follows a Normal distribution with mean ms = 6 months and standard devia

tion ss = 2.5 months. The age at which large breed dogs are fully housebroken follows a Normal distribution with mean mL = 4 months and standard deviation sL = 1.5 months. Let xS – xL represent the sampling distribution. Be sure show all work and conditions. Let the sample size for both sets be 25 dogs. Should we be surprised if the sample mean housebroken age for the small breed dogs is at least 2.5 months more than the sample mean housebroken age for the large breed dogs? Explain your answer.

Answer:

This measure is just 0.17 standard deviations from the mean, so we should not be surprised.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If the z-score is lower than -2, or higher than 2.5, the score of X is considered unusual.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Let xS – xL represent the sampling distribution.

Mean s 6, means L 4. So

\mu = 6 - 4 = 2

Standard deviation s is 2.5, for L is 1.5. So

\sigma = \sqrt{2.5^2+1.5^2} = 2.915

Should we be surprised if the sample mean housebroken age for the small breed dogs is at least 2.5 months more than the sample mean housebroken age for the large breed dogs? Explain your answer.

We have to find the z-score for X = 2.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{2.5 - 2}{2.915}

Z = 0.17

This measure is just 0.17 standard deviations from the mean, so we should not be surprised.

Simplify 5sqrt 12xm^3 <br> Assume x and m are nonnegative
fredd [130]

Answer:

The right answer to your question is the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

            5 √12xm³

             First find the prime factors of 12

   12   2

     6   2

    3    3

     1             Then 12 = 2² 3

   and m³ = m m²

So    5 √ 2² 3 x m m²

and   5 (2)(m) √ 3xm

         10 m √ 3xm

The completely factored form of the provided polynomial is  (p -2) (p+ 2) (p² +4). The option 4 is the correct option.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial equations is the expression in which the highest power of the unknown variable is n (n is a real number).

The polynomial equation given in the problem is,

p^4 - 16

Let the factor form of the polynomial is f(p). Thus,

f(p)=p^4 - 16\\f(p)=p^4 - 2^4\\f(p)=(p^2)^2- (2^2)^2

Using the formula of difference of squares, we get,

f(p)=(p^2-4)(p^2+4)\\f(p)=(p^2-2^2)(p^2+4)\\f(p)=(p-2)(p+2)(p^2+4)

Thus, the completely factored form of the provided polynomial is  (p -2) (p+ 2) (p² +4). The option 4 is the correct option.
