A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Both distributions are moderately skewed to the right. Suppose we take a simple random sample of 35 gas ranges and a second SRS of 40 electric ranges. Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?
a. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation = 7.9 years, shape: moderately right-skewed.
b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.
c. Mean= 1.6 years, standard deviation = 0.92 years, shape: moderately right skewed.
d. Mean =1.6 years, standard deviation =0.40 years, shape: approximately Normal.
e. Mean =1.6 years, standard deviation =0.40 years, shape: moderately right skewed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal Variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

[tex]\mu_G = 15[/tex]

[tex]s_G = \frac{4.2}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.71[/tex]

The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Sample of 40:

This means that:

[tex]\mu_E = 13.4[/tex]

[tex]s_E = \frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.585[/tex]

Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?

Shape is approximately normal.

Mean:

[tex]\mu = \mu_G - \mu_E = 15 - 13.4 = 1.6[/tex]

Standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_G^2+s_E^2} = \sqrt{0.71^2+0.585^2} = 0.92[/tex]

So the correct answer is given by option b.

Determine the length of the diagonals of the isosceles trapezoid below when KL= h+7 and UE= 4h-25

Answers

Answer:

KL= 17.67 unit

UE = 17.67 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diagonals

KL= h+7

UE = 4h-25

Find:

Length of diagonals KL and UE

Computation:

We know that in isosceles trapezoid the length of diagonals are equal

So,

KL = UE

h+7 = 4h-25

3h = 32

h = 10.67

So,

KL= h+7

KL= 10.67+7

KL= 17.67 unit

UE = 4h-25

UE = 4(10.67)-25

UE = 17.67 unit

Solve the system using elimination.
3x + 5y = -2
-x + 2y = 8
([?], [ ]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To eliminate the x terms, first multiply the second equation by 3:

-3x + 6y = 24

then add it to the first equation:

3x + 5y = -2

-3x + 6y = 24

------------------

0x + 11y = 22

y = 2

plug the value of y into one of the equations:

-x + 2(2) = 8

x = 4-8 = -4

(x,y) = (-4, 2)

solve the inequality

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y+4>10

subtract 4 from both sides

-2y+4-4>10-4

-2y>6

divide both sides by two

-2/2y>6/2

-1y>3

if negative y is greater than three than you have to multiply both sides of the equation by -1

y>-3 if you put that back into the earlier equation it is impossible.

so we have to switch the signs to < or less than

y<-3

Answers

Answer:

0.64 = 64% probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using these events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Event A: Awarded the Macon Expressway.

Event B: Awarded the Seaview Expressway.

Probability that they will be awarded the Macon Expressway contract is 0.65

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.65[/tex]

The probability that they will be awarded the Seaview Expressway contract is 0.43.

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.43[/tex]

Furthermore, the probability that they will be awarded both contracts is 0.22.

This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.22[/tex]

What is the

Probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway?

Only A:

[tex]P(A) - P(A \cap B) = 0.65 - 0.22 = 0.43[/tex]

Only B:

[tex]P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.43 - 0.22 = 0.21[/tex]

Either

0.43 + 0.21 = 0.64

0.64 = 64% probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway

Pierre found a new store where he hopes to save
money on his supplies. He bought 4 brushes and 7
tubes of paint for $32. He has another order for 6
brushes and 8 tubes of paint that will cost $43.
What is the cost of one brush? What is the cost of
one tube of paint?

Answers

Your first equation is 4x + 7y= 32, the x’s representing the brushes and the y’s the tubes of paint. Our second equation is 6x+8y=43. What I did is I multiplied the first equation by 1.5 so that it turns into 6x+10.5y=48. Then I subtracted the second equation from the first, canceling out the x’s and leaving us with 2.5y=5. Then divided and got y=2. We then go back to any of the original equations and plug it in to get the x’s.
6x+8(2)=43. We get 6x+16=43. We subtract and are left with 6x=27 and then x=4.5. Then plug both of them in to a different equation to double check. You could also use substitution by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then plugging it in to the other one.
