Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in mean (μ₁ - μ₂) for the two bakeries is; (<u>49</u>) < μ₁ - μ₂ < (<u>289)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

Bakery A

\overline x_1<em> </em>= 1,880 cal

s₁ = 148 cal

n₁ = 10

Bakery B

\overline x_2<em> </em>= 1,711 cal

s₂ = 192 cal

n₂ = 10

\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2}  \right ) - t_{c}\cdot \hat \sigma \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}}}< \mu _{1}-\mu _{2}< \left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2}  \right ) + t_{c}\cdot \hat \sigma \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}}}

df = n₁ + n₂ - 2

∴ df = 10 + 18 - 2 = 26

From the t-table, we have, for two tails, t_c = 1.706

\hat{\sigma} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\left ( n_{1}-1 \right )\cdot s_{1}^{2} +\left ( n_{2}-1 \right )\cdot s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}

\hat{\sigma} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\left ( 10-1 \right )\cdot 148^{2} +\left ( 18-1 \right )\cdot 192^{2}}{10+18-2}}= 178.004321469

\hat \sigma ≈ 178

Therefore, we get;

\left (1,880-1,711  \right ) - 1.706\times178 \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{18}}< \mu _{1}-\mu _{2}< \left (1,880-1,711  \right ) + 1.706\times178 \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{18}}

Which gives;

169 - \dfrac{75917\cdot \sqrt{35} }{3,750} < \mu _{1}-\mu _{2}< 169 + \dfrac{75917\cdot \sqrt{35} }{3,750}

Therefore, by rounding to the nearest integer, we have;

The 90% C.I. ≈ 49 < μ₁ - μ₂ < 289

1. Trevor saves 2/3 of the money he earns at his
AveGali [126]

Trevor will be saving less amount

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To know whether he will save less, more or the same amount, we need to find \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} and then compare with \frac{2}{3}

Now, combine the fractions using the rule:

              \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a \times c}{b \times d}

              \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 3}=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}

\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} is less than the fraction \frac{1}{4}. Hence, concluding that Trevor will be saving less than \frac{2}{3} amount.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

<h2>This equation has no natural roots.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+x-5=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{For the given equation:}\\\\a=3,\ b=1,\ c=-5\\\\b^2-4ac=1^2-4(3)(-5)=1+60=61\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{61}}{(2)(3)}=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{61}}{6}\notin\mathbb{N}
