How quickly do synthetic fabrics such as polyester decay in landfills? A researcher buried polyester strips in thes oil for diff

erent lengths of time, then dug up the strips and measured the force required to break them. Breaking strength is easy to measure and is a good indicator of decay. Lower strength means the fabric is decayed. In part of the study researchers buried 10 strips of polyester fabric in well-drained soil in the summer. Five of the strips, chosen at random, were dug up after 2 weeks; the other 5 were dug up after 16 weeks. . Here are the data (in pounds of breaking strength): Sample 1 (2 weeks) 118 126 126 120 129 Sample 2 (16 weeks) 124 98 110 140 110 These data can be downloaded: Minitab data Excel or text data Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the mean breaking strengths, specifically the mean 2-week breaking strength minus the mean 16-week breaking strength.

Answer:

no enough evidence to draw up a conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

let: \mu _{1} = decay after 2 weeks

    \mu _{2} = decay after 16 weeks

Making the hypotheses:

Null hypothesis; H_{o} = \mu _{1}  - \mu _{2} = 0

the deviation = 0.05

the standard difference  = 4

Conditions:

The normal distribution curve can be plotted on a graph and the plot shows that the distribution is a skewed distribution.

Then,

t = \frac{(123.8-16.4)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{4.6^{2} }{5}+\frac{16.09^{2} }{5}   } } \\  = 0.989

Therefore, it can be concluded that 0.1983 > 0.05. This presents our failure to reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to conclude that polyester decays more in less than 2 weeks.

Use linear regression to find a
Inessa [10]

A function that fits the following points (0,5), (2,-13) is y = 9x + 5

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is expressed as;

y =mx +b

where;

m is the slope

b is the intercept

Given the following coordinates (0,5), (2,-13)

Slope = -13-5/2-0
Slope = -18/-2

Slope = 9

Since the y-intercept is b = 5, hence the equation of the line will be y = 9x + 5

Ask Your Teacher Equal amounts are invested at 2%, 7%, and 9% annual interest. If the three investments yield a total of $828 an
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

$4600

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation to represent the problem.

Interest is calculated by multiplying the interest rate with the investment. <u>Multiplying each of the rates</u> (2%, 7% and 9%) <u>in decimal form with the investment amount is equal to the annual interest</u>, (828).

Convert a percentage to decimal form by dividing by 100:

2% ÷ 100 => 0.02

7% ÷ 100 => 0.07

9% ÷ 100 => 0.09

let "P" represent the amount of money for the total investment

0.02P + 0.07P + 0.09P = 828

Use the equation to solve for "P". Simplify by collecting like terms (numbers that have the same variable) then isolate "P" by moving the other numbers to the right side. To move a number to the other side, do it's reverse operation to both sides of the equation. (The reverse of multiplying is dividing).

0.02P + 0.07P + 0.09P = 828        Collect like terms

0.18P = 828        Isolate "P"

0.18P/0.18 = 828/0.18        Divide both sides by 0.18

P = 828/0.18         "P" is isolated because 0.18 cancelled out. Simplify.

P = 4600        Total investment

Therefore the total investment is $4600.
