A sportswriter wishes to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. To t

est this hypothesis, the writer uses 18 male subjects, randomly divided into two groups of 9 subjects each. Group 1 kicks a football filled with helium to the recommended pressure, while Group 2 kicks a football filled with air to the same pressure. The sample mean yardage for Group 1 was barx2 = 30 yards with a standard deviation of s1 = 8 yards. The mean yardage for Group 2 was barx2 = 25 yards with a standard deviation of s2 = 6 yards. Assume that the two groups of kicks are independent. Let μ1 and μ2 represent the mean yardage we would observe for the entire population represented by the volunteers if all members of this population kicked, respectively, a helium-filled football and an air-filled football. Let σ1 and σ2 be the corresponding population standard deviations. Assuming two-sample t procedures are safe to use, what is a 99% confidence interval for μ1 – μ2?
A) 4 ± 7.7 yards.B) 4 ± 11.2 yards.C) 4 ± 4.7 yards.D) 4 ± 6.2 yards.

Answer:

5 ± 9.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval, two - sample, t procedure ;

μ1 - μ2 = (x1 - x2) ± Tcritical*S

S = sqrt[(s1²/n1) + (s2²/n2)]

n1 = 9 ; n2 = 9 ; s1 = 8 ; s2 = 6 ; x1 = 30 ; x2 = 25

S = sqrt[(8^2/9) + (6^2/9)]

S = sqrt[11.111111]

S = 3.333

Tcritical at 99% confidence interval

df = 18 - 2= 16

Tcritical = 2.92

(30 - 25) ± 2.92*(3.333)

5 ± 9.74

                                        Question 9

Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y

Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY

so

NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts

XM = MY

given

XM = 3x+1

MY = 8x-24

so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation

XM = MY

3x+1 = 8x-24

8x-3x = 1+24

5x = 25

divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 25/5

x = 5

so the value of x = 5

As the length of the segment XY is:

Length of segment XY = XM + MY

                                = 3x+1 + 8x-24

                                = 11x - 23

substituting x = 5

                               = 11(5) - 23

                               = 55 - 23

                               = 32

Therefore,

The length of the segment = 32 units

                                        Question 10)

Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y

Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY

so

The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M

XM = MY

given

XM = 5x+8

MY = 9x+12

so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation

XM = MY

5x+8 = 9x+12

9x-5x = 8-12

4x = -4

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = -4/4

x = -1

so the value of x = -1

As the length of the segment XY is:

Length of segment XY = XM + MY

                                = 5x+8 + 9x+12

                                = 14x + 20

substituting x = 1

                               = 14(-1) + 20

                               = -14+20

                               = 6

Therefore,

The length of the segment XY = 6 units

a jar contains 36 marbles. it has 20 red, 12 black, and 4 green marbles. two marbles are drawn; the first is not returned before
Igoryamba
P(red) first drawn:
20/36=5/9
P(red) second drawn:
19/35

95/315 or 19/63. As a result, the probability that both marbles are red is 19/63. Hope it help!

An Easter basket contains eggs of three different colors. Find the total number of eggs in the basket if 2 7 of all eggs are gre
sashaice [31]

Answer:

56 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

If \frac{2}{7} of all eggs are green, \frac{1}{4} of all are blue, then

1-\dfrac{2}{7}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{28-2\cdot 4-7}{28}=\dfrac{13}{28}

of all eggs are red.

We know that there are 26 red eggs

26\text{ eggs }-\dfrac{13}{28}\\ \\x\text{ eggs }- 1[=\dfrac{28}{28}]

Make a proportion

\dfrac{26}{x}=\dfrac{\frac{13}{28}}{1}\\ \\26\cdot 1=x\cdot \dfrac{13}{28}\ [\text{Cross multiply}]\\ \\13x=26\cdot 28\ [\text{Multiply by 28 to get rid of fraction}]\\ \\x=\dfrac{26\cdot 28}{13}\ [\text{Divide by 13 to get x}]\\ \\x=2\cdot 28\\ \\x=56

Use cramers rule to solve each system of equations :
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

just follow the rules

Step-by-step explanation:

Cramer's rule applies to the case where the coefficient determinant is nonzero. ... A simple example where all determinants vanish (equal zero) but the system is still incompatible is the 3×3 system x+y+z=1, x+y+z=2, x+y+z=3.

Write the system as a matrix equation. ...

Create the inverse of the coefficient matrix out of the matrix equation. ...

Multiply the inverse of the coefficient matrix in the front on both sides of the equation. ...

Cancel the matrix on the left and multiply the matrices on the right.
