Gwen, Tristan, and Keith like to work out at the gym. They each have an app on their phone that estimates the calories they burn
. By the time Tristan and Keith started exercising, Gwen had already burned 100 calories. Gwen burns 10 calories every minute, Tristan burns 125 every 10 minutes, and Keith burns 300 calories every 30 minutes. Let x represent the number of minutes since Tristan and Keith started exercising and y represent the number of app-estimated calories burned.

Answer:
Part A
b. 14.6 ± 7.38
Part B
b. 3.43
Part C
a. P-value < 0.01
Part D
b. There is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
The given data are;
The number of seedlings in the field = 20
The number of seedlings selected to receive herbicide A = 10
The number of seedlings selected to receive herbicide B = 10
The height in centimeters of seedlings treated with Herbicide A, = 94.5 cm
The standard deviation, s₁ = 10 cm
The height in centimeters of seedlings treated with Herbicide B, = 109.1 cm
The standard deviation, s₂ = 9 cm
The 90% confidence interval for μ₂ - μ₁, is given as follows;
The critical-t at 95% and n₁ + n₂ - 2 degrees of freedom is given as follows;
The degrees of freedom, df = n₁ + n₂ - 2 = 10 + 10 - 2 = 18
α = 100% - 90% = 10%
∴ For two tailed test, we have, α/2 = 10%/2 = 5% = 0.05
= 1.734
C.I. ≈ 14.6 ± 7.37714603353
The 90% C.I. ≈ 14.6 ± 7.38
b. 14.6 ± 7.38
Part B
With the hypotheses are given as follows;
H₀; μ₂ - μ₁ = 0
Hₐ; μ₂ - μ₁ ≠ 0
The two sample t-statistic is given as follows;
The two sample t-statistic ≈ 3.43
b. 3.43
Part C
From the t-table, the p-value, we have, the p-value < 0.01
a. P-value < 0.01
Part D
Given that a significance level of 0.05 level is used and the p-value of 0.01 is less than the significance level, there is enough statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis
b. There is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
