A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a stand

ard deviation of 4.2 years. The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Both distributions are moderately skewed to the right. Suppose we take a simple random sample of 35 gas ranges and a second SRS of 40 electric ranges. Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?
a. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation = 7.9 years, shape: moderately right-skewed.
b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.
c. Mean= 1.6 years, standard deviation = 0.92 years, shape: moderately right skewed.
d. Mean =1.6 years, standard deviation =0.40 years, shape: approximately Normal.
e. Mean =1.6 years, standard deviation =0.40 years, shape: moderately right skewed.

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

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.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

\mu_G = 15

s_G = \frac{4.2}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.71

The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Sample of 40:

This means that:

\mu_E = 13.4

s_E = \frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.585

Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?

Shape is approximately normal.

Mean:

\mu = \mu_G - \mu_E = 15 - 13.4 = 1.6

Standard deviation:

s = \sqrt{s_G^2+s_E^2} = \sqrt{0.71^2+0.585^2} = 0.92

So the correct answer is given by option b.

Algebra 2 word problem: Urgent!
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

180 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Surfer #1 takes a capsule every 6 hours, but this is also equal to 2 capsules every 12 hours. Surfer #2 takes 1 capsule every 12 hours. Thus, both surfers take a total of 3 capsules every 12 hours.

By dividing 45 total capsules they need to consume by 3, the number of capsules the surfers consume every 12 hour, you get the total number of hours times 12 it takes for them to consume 45 capsules. 45 / 3 = 15, so it takes 15 * 12 hours for them to consume 45 capsules. This is equal to 180 total hours.
