A random sample of 18 female neurologists and 21 male neurologists at public medical schools found that the average salary for female neurologists was $175,000 with a standard deviation of $15,000, while the average salary for male neurologists was $203,000 with a standard deviation of $22,000. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the average salaries of male and female neurologists. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
a) Write the formula that should be used to compute the interval.
b) Write the assumptions that need to be met in order to use the above formula.
c) Compute the interval.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) = x1`-x2`/ Sp √ ( 1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

b)  it is assumed that the population standard deviations are known (which is sometimes met and sometimes not known).

c) The Confidence interval = [ 19131.77, 36868.23]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a:

The 99% confidence interval for the difference between the average salaries of male and female neurologists is given by

(x1`-x2`) ±t∝/2(υ)* √ ( Sp²/n₁ + Sp²/n₂)

= x1`-x2`/ Sp √ ( 1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

where Sp ²= s₁² ( n1-1) + s₂²(n2-1) /(n1-1) + (n2-1)

Part B:

1) the sample should be normally distributed

2) it is assumed that the population standard deviations are known (which is sometimes met and sometimes not known).

Part C:

Calculations

1) H0: μ₁=μ₂ against the claim Ha: μ₁ ≠μ₂

2)The test statistic is

t= x1`-x2`/ √ ( Sp²/n₁ + Sp²/n₂)

where

Sp ²= s₁² ( n1-1) + s₂²(n2-1) /(n1-1) + (n2-1)

= 15,000²(17) + 22,000²(22) / 37

Sp ²= 103378640

3) D.f = n1+n2-2 =21+18-2 = 37

4) for 2 tailed test the critical value of t is obtained by

t≥ t∝/2 ( d.f)=t≥ t0.005 (37)= ±2.7154= ± 2.72

5) Putting the values

(x1`-x2`) ±t∝/2(υ)* √ ( sp²/n₁ + sp²/n₂)

28000 ± (2.72 * 3265.89)

=[ 19131.77, 36868.23].

The Confidence interval = [ 19131.77, 36868.23]

Hei has $1,300 in a retirement account earning 4% interest compounded annually. Each year after the first, she makes additional deposits of $1,300. After 5 years, what was her account balance if she did not make any withdrawals? Round each year's interest to the nearest cent if necessary.


The account had a balance of $
after 5 years.

Answers

Answer:

Her account balance after 5 years is $8702.87

Step-by-step explanation:

1500 (1.05) = 1575 --> after one year

1575 + 1500 = 3075    

3075 (1.05) = 3228.75 --> after two years

3228.75 + 1500 = 4728.75

4728.75 (1.05) = 4965.1875 --> after three years

4965.1875 + 1500 = 6465.1875

6465.1875 (1.05) = 6788.44688 --> after four years

6788.44688 + 1500 = 8288.44688

8288.44688 (1.05) = 8702.86922 --> after five years = $8702.87

Since 1 and 2 represent goals, just find the options that have three/four 2's and 1's. These are 5212, 2152, 2512, and 2112. Since there are 4 options out of 20, we can say our probability is 4/20

Since 1 and 2 represent goals, we have to find the options where there are no 1's or 2's. These are 6643, 3554, 4533, 6634, 4536, and 5546. Since there are 6 options out of 20, we can say our probability is 6/20

The volume of cracker boxes are normally distributed, with a mean of 7 oz and a standard deviation of 0.2 oz. If a box is selected at random, What is the probability of getting an amount between that is at least 7.5 oz

Answers

Answer:

0.0062 = 0.62% probability of getting an amount between that is at least 7.5 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 7 oz and a standard deviation of 0.2 oz.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

What is the probability of getting an amount between that is at least 7.5 oz?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{7.5 - 7}{0.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

0.0062 = 0.62% probability of getting an amount between that is at least 7.5 oz.

During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.


The median for City A is less than the median for City B.

Answers

Answer:

During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

City A :

Reordered data:

0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1, 1.3, 1.5, 2.5, 3

City B :

Reordered data:

0, 0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1, 1, 1

Using a calculator :

Mean Rainfall for City A = 1.04

Mean rainfall for city B = 0.41

Range : maximum - minimum

City A = 3 - 0 = 3

City B = 1 - 0 = 1

Mode (most occurring) :

City A = 0.2

City B = 1

Median :

City A = 0.7

City B = 0.25

The only true conclusion in the options given that can be drawn from the data is that ;During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.
