A study was conducted and two types of engines, A and B, were compared. Fifty experiments were performed using engine A and 75 using B. The average gas mileage for A was 36 mpg, and 42 mpg for B. Assume population standard deviations for A and B are respectively 6 and 8. A. Find the point estimate. (2 pts) B. Find the margin of error. (3 pts) C. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results(5 pts)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) -6 mpg.

b) 2.77 mpg

c) The 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results, in mpg, is (-8.77, -3.23).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem, and subtraction of normal variables.

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Gas mileage A: Mean 36, standard deviation 6, sample of 50:

So

[tex]\mu_A = 36, s_A = \frac{6}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.8485[/tex]

Gas mileage B: Mean 42, standard deviation 8, sample of 50:

So

[tex]\mu_B = 42, s_B = \frac{8}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.1314[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

Mean:

[tex]\mu = \mu_A - \mu_B = 36 - 42 = -6[/tex]

Standard error:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_B^2} = \sqrt{0.8485^2+1.1314^2} = 1.4142[/tex]

A. Find the point estimate.

This is the difference of means, that is, -6 mpg.

B. Find the margin of error

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs = 1.96*1.4142 = 2.77[/tex]

The margin of error is of 2.77 mpg

C. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results(5 pts)

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -6 - 2.77 = -8.77 mpg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -6 + 2.77 = -3.23 mpg

The 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for engines A and B and interpret the results, in mpg, is (-8.77, -3.23).

Taking antilogs, the equation becomes ...

  (-3x)(4) = 58

Dividing by -12 shows us the value of x.

Which linear function is increasing at a greater
rate? Explain your reasoning.
Linear Function 1 has an x-intercept of (4, 0) and
a y-intercept at (0, 22)
Linear function 2 includes the points in the table
below

Answers

Answer:

Linear function 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If Linear function 1 has an x-intercept of 4,0 and a y-intercept of 0,22

It's a negative equation, Its not increasing Its decreasing.

So it must be Linear function 2

answer:
the second function

step-by-step explanation:
“increasing at a greater rate” is the slope
Function 1 has points at (4, 0) (0, 22)
to find the slope it would be
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 22 - 0 / 0 - 4
m = 22 / -4
m = -5.5
Function 2 we can take any two points from the table
I’m going to take (1, 0) and (3, 1)
m = 3 - 1 / 0 - 1
m = -2 / -1
m = 2 / 1
m = 2
because function 1 is negative function 2 would be increasing at a greater rate.

Two lines intersect, and you know the measure of one angle. How can you determine the measures of the other three angles

Answers

Answer:

Opposite angles are the same measure.

Angles around a point = 360°

When you add all the angles, you get 360.

Angle a and b would measure the same and so would angle d and c. So you double the measure for one of those angles and subtract it from 360.

Then, you half that value( divide by 2) and this is to find the measure of the other angle

The answer is angle around the point =360

solve each of the following systems, if possible. indicate whether the system has a unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.

a. 2x + 10y = 9
3x + 15y = 13

b. 2x + 8y = 5
3x + 12y = 7.5

c. y = 3-x

d. 5x -8y = -1
-5/2 x + 4y = 1/2​

Answers

Answer:

(a) No solution

(b) Infinitely many solution

(c) No solution

(d) Infinitely many solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

[tex]2x + 10y = 9[/tex] --- (1)

[tex]3x + 15y = 13[/tex] --- (2)

Multiply (1) by 1.5

1.5 * [[tex]2x + 10y = 9[/tex]]

[tex]3x + 15y = 13.5[/tex] --- (3)

Subtract 2 and 3

[tex]3x - 3x + 15y - 15y = 13.5 - 13[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0.5[/tex]

The above is false; Hence, the system has no solution

Solving (b):

[tex]2x + 8y = 5[/tex] --- (1)

[tex]3x + 12y = 7.5[/tex] -- (2)

Multiply 1 by 1.5

1.5 * [[tex]2x + 8y = 5[/tex]]

[tex]3x + 12y = 7.5[/tex]

Subtract 2 and 3

[tex]3x - 3x + 12y - 12y = 7.5 - 7.5[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex]

The above implies that the system has infinitely many solutions

Solving (c):

[tex]y = 3 - x[/tex]

A second equation is required to solve for (c)

Solving (d):

[tex]5x - 8y = -1[/tex] --- (1)

[tex]-\frac{5}{2}x+ 4y = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

[tex]-5x + 8y = 1[/tex] --- (3)

Add 1 and 3

[tex]5x - 5x -8y + 8y = -1 + 1[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex]

The above implies that the system has infinitely many solutions

this is operations on functions!!!

Answers

Answer: Multiplication sign

f(x) times g(x) = 8x^2+8x-6

(2x-1) times (4x+6) = 8x^2+8x-6

====================================================

Explanation:

The functions f(x) and g(x) are linear functions. The result of f(x) ___ g(x) is some quadratic function.

It's very likely that the answer is a multiplication sign because of the general template of

(linear)*(linear) = (quadratic)

For example, x*3x = 3x^2.

Let's see if the two functions multiply out to 8x^2+8x-6 or not.

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

f(x) * g(x) = ( f(x) ) * ( g(x) )

f(x) * g(x) = ( 2x-1 ) * ( 4x+6 )

f(x) * g(x) = y * ( 4x+6 ) ......... let y = 2x-1

f(x) * g(x) = 4xy + 6y   ......... distribute

f(x) * g(x) = 4x( y ) + 6( y )

f(x) * g(x) = 4x( 2x-1 ) + 6( 2x-1 ) .... replace y with 2x-1

f(x) * g(x) = 8x^2-4x  + 12x-6  .... distribute twice more

f(x) * g(x) = 8x^2+8x-6

We end up getting the correct result. So this confirms that a multiplication sign is needed to fill in the blank.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our interval is given as it is, we are in QIII. That interval is equivalent to 270 degrees to 360 degrees, which is QIII. If we draw this right triangle in QIII and label it accordingly, the side adjacent to the reference angle is sqrt2 and the hypotenuse is 2. We know this because the cosine ratio is defined as the side adjacent to the reference angle over the hypotenuse of the right triangle. That means that we have to find the missing side in order to determine the other 2 main trig ratios. Using Pythagorean's Theorem, we have

[tex]2^2=\sqrt{2}^2+b^2[/tex] and

[tex]4=2+b^2[/tex] so

[tex]b=\sqrt{2}[/tex]. But since it is for a value that, in QIII is negative, it is [tex]-\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Now we can find the sin and tan of that reference angle. Sin is defined as the side opposite the reference angle over the hypotenuse, so

[tex]sin\theta=\frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex] and tan, which is defined as side opposite the reference angle over the side adjacent to the reference angle, then

[tex]tan\theta=\frac{-\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }=-1[/tex]
