A study is done to find the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means between the ACT scores between two schools in a

given city. One school had a random sample of 39 students had a sample mean of 25.90 with a sample standard deviation of 3.49. The second school had a random sample of 37 students had a sample mean 27.70 with a sample standard deviation of 2.47. What is the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the difference in means

Solution :

95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of ACT scores between two schools, is given by :

$[(\overline X_1 - \overline X_2)-ME, (\overline X_1 - \overline X_2)+ME]$

$\overline X_1 = 25.90 ,  \ \ \ \overline X_2 = 27.70$

$S_1=3.49, \ \ \ S_2 = 2.47$

$n_1=39, \ \  n_2=37$

M.E. , Margin of error,

$=t_{n_1+n_2-2,0.025} \times \left( s \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}$

$s^2 = \frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S^2_2}{n_1+n_2-2}$

  $=\frac{38(3.49)^2+36(2.47)^2}{39+37-2}$

 = 9.222

s = 3.03

$t_{74,0.05} = 1.99$

$M.E. = 1.99 \times 3.03 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{39}+\frac{1}{37}}$

        = 1.4

Therefore, 95% CI = [(25.90-27.70) - 1.4 , (25.90-27.70) + 1.4]

                              = [-3.2, -0.4]

Therefore, the lower bound is -3.2

Is 7/8 or 11/10 closer to 1? How did you decide anybody help please?
erik [133]

Let

A-----> \frac{7}{8}

B-----> \frac{11}{10}

C-----> 1

we know that

Point A-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 10

\frac{7*10}{8*10} =\frac{70}{80}

Point B-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 8

\frac{11*8}{10*8} =\frac{88}{80}

Point C-------> Multiply numerator and denominator by 80

\frac{1*80}{1*80} =\frac{80}{80}

Find the distance Point A to Point C

\frac{80}{80} -\frac{70}{80} =\frac{10}{80}

Find the distance Point B to Point C

\frac{88}{80} -\frac{80}{80} =\frac{8}{80}

therefore

\frac{8}{80} < \frac{10}{80}

Point B is closer to Point C

\frac{11}{10} is closer to 1

the answer is

\frac{11}{10} is closer to 1

A shop has one-pound bags of peanuts for $2 and three-pound bags of peanuts for $5.50. If you buy 8 bags and spend $37, how many
Andrew [12]

Answer:

  • 6 3-lb bags
  • 2 1-lb bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...

  $2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37

  16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms

  3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
