he owner of a local supermarket wants to estimate the difference between the average number of gallons of milk sold per day on w

eekdays and weekends. The owner samples 5 weekdays and finds an average of 259.23 gallons of milk sold on those days with a standard deviation of 34.713. 10 (total) Saturdays and Sundays are sampled and the average number of gallons sold is 365.12 with a standard deviation of 48.297. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the difference of (average number of gallons sold on weekdays - average number of gallons sold on weekends). Assume the population standard deviations are the same for both weekdays and weekends.

Answer:

90% confidence interval is ( -149.114, -62.666   )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Sample 1                                Sample 2

x"₁ = 259.23                            x"₂ = 365.12

s₁  = 34.713                              s₂ = 48.297

n₁ = 5                                       n₂ = 10

With 90% confidence interval for μ₁ - μ₂ { using equal variance assumption }

significance level ∝ = 1 - 90% = 1 - 0.90 = 0.1

Since we are to assume that variance are equal and they are know, we will use pooled variance;

Degree of freedom DF = n₁ + n₂ - 2 = 5 + 10 - 2 = 13

Now, pooled estimate of variance will be;

S_p^2 = [ ( n₁ - 1 )s₁² + ( n₂ - 1)s₂² ] / [ ( n₁ - 1 ) + ( n₂ - 1 ) ]

we substitute

S_p^2 = [ ( 5 - 1 )(34.713)² + ( 10 - 1)(48.297)² ] / [ ( 5 - 1 ) + ( 10 - 1 ) ]

S_p^2 = [ ( 4 × 1204.9923) + ( 9 × 2332.6 ) ] / [  4 + 9 ]

S_p^2 = [ 4819.9692 + 20993.4 ] / [  13 ]

S_p^2 = 25813.3692 / 13

S_p^2 = 1985.64378

Now the Standard Error will be;

S_{x1-x2 = √[ ( S_p^2 / n₁ ) + ( S_p^2 / n₂ ) ]

we substitute

S_{x1-x2 = √[ ( 1985.64378 / 5 ) + ( 1985.64378 / 10 ) ]

S_{x1-x2 = √[ 397.128756 + 198.564378 ]

S_{x1-x2 = √595.693134

S_{x1-x2 = 24.4068

Critical Value = t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, df = t_{0.05, df=13 = 1.771  { t-table }

So,

Margin of Error E =  t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, df × [ ( S_p^2 / n₁ ) + ( S_p^2 / n₂ ) ]

we substitute

Margin of Error E = 1.771 × 24.4068

Margin of Error E = 43.224

Point Estimate = x₁ - x₂ = 259.23 - 365.12 = -105.89

So, Limits of 90% CI will be; x₁ - x₂ ± E

Lower Limit = x₁ - x₂ - E = -105.89 - 43.224 = -149.114

Upper Limit = x₁ - x₂ - E = -105.89 + 43.224 = -62.666

Therefore, 90% confidence interval is ( -149.114, -62.666   )

Two groups of students were asked how far they lived from their school. The table below shows the distances in miles:
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. The value for Group A is double the value for Group B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add all the numbers from each group.

A: The distance in total is 39.06

B: The distance in total is 19.53

To find the mean, which is another way of saying the average, you divide the sum with how many numbers there are. (hope this makes sense, I suck at wording)

A: There are 9 numbers in total, hence, 39.06/9 = 4.34

B: There are 9 numbers in total, hence, 19.53/9 = 2.17

Those are the mean distance for the two groups.

2.17 * 2 = 4.34

Hence, C (third statement)

Find and equation for the line that passes through the points (-6,-4) and (4,4).
Ghella [55]
We have (x-4)/(-6-4) = (y-4)/(-4-4);
(x-4)/(-10) = (y-4)/(-8);
(x-4)/5 = (y-4)/4;
4x-16 = 5y-20;
4x - 5y + 4 = 0;
