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

A particular automatic sprinkler system has two different types of activation devices for each 3 sprinkler head. One type has a
zmey [24]

Answer:

There is an 85% probability that the sprinkler head will be activated.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

50% of the first sprinkler being triggered

90% of the first sprinkler being reliable

50% of the second sprinkler being triggered

80% of the second sprinkler being reliable.

What is the probability that the sprinkler head will be activated?

P = P_{1} + P_{2}

P_{1} is the probability of the first sprinkler being triggered and activated. So:

P_{1} = 0.5*0.9 = 0.45

P_{2} is the probability of the second sprinkler being triggered and activated. So:

P_{2} = 0.5*0.8 = 0.40

P = P_{1} + P_{2} = 0.40 + 0.45 = 0.85

There is an 85% probability that the sprinkler head will be activated.

elixir [45]

Answer:

D. 27

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 cm / 0.5 cm = 3

So now think of the cube as 3 blocks x 3 blocks x 3 blocks, instead of 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm. 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

I hope this helped!
