In the late 2000's sales of SUVs decreased due to higher gas prices and improved alternative vehicles. A car dealer is intereste

d whether it takes more days to sell SUV's vs. small cars. He gathers data from a sample of the most recent couple of months of sales and calculates that the he sold 18 SUV's with an average number of days to sale of 95 and a standard deviation of 32 days. For small cars, he sold 38 of them in an average of 48 days with a standard deviation of 24 days. The dealer wants to estimate how much longer it takes to sell an SUV vs. a small car by constructing a 95% confidence interval. 1. The facts of this problem are:

Answer:

1. The facts are;

\overline x _1 = 95 days

s₁ = 32 days

n₁ = 18 SUV's

\overline x _2 = 48 days

n₂ = 38 small cars

s₂  = 24 days

The confidence level = 95%

The confidence interval is (29.55,  64.45)

Step-by-step explanation:

The facts of the problem are;

The number of SUV's he sold, n₁ = 18 SUV's

The average number it took to sell the 18 SUV's, \overline x _1 = 95 days

The standard deviation of the time it took to sell the 18 SUV's, s₁ = 32 days

The number of small cars he sold, n₂ = 38 small cars

The average number it took to sell the 38 small cars, \overline x _2 = 48 days

The standard deviation of the time it took to sell the 38 small cars, s₂  = 24 days

The 95% confidence interval is given as follows;

Using a graphing calculator, we get, the critical-t, t_c = 2.055529

\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2}  \right ) \pm t_{c} \cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{s _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{s _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}

\left (95-48  \right ) \pm 2.055529 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{32^{2}}{18}+\dfrac{24^{2}}{38}}

We get C.I. = 29.55259 < μ₁ - μ₂ < 64.44741

∴ C.I. ≈ 29.55 < μ₁ - μ₂ < 64.45

densk [106]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C.) The graph of the function is positive on (–2, 4)." A polynomial function has a root of –6 with multiplicity 1, a root of –2 with multiplicity 3, a root of 0 with multiplicity 2, and a root of 4 with multiplicity 3. If the function has a positive leading coefficient and is of odd degree, then <span>C.) The graph of the function is positive on (–2, 4).</span>
