Dogs vary in size a great deal more than cats do. Suppose the mean weight of dogs in a certain city is 28 pounds with a standard deviation of 14 pounds, and the mean weights of cats is 9.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 2 pounds. Cat weights are roughly Normally distributed, but dog weights are skewed right. Suppose you take a random sample of 10 dogs and 8 cats. Which of the following is an accurate description of the center, spread, and shape of the sampling distribution of the difference in the mean weight dogs and the mean weight of cats?

a. Mean = 18.5 pounds, standard deviation = 4.48 pounds, shape approximately Normal
b. Mean = 18.5 pounds, standard deviation = 4.48 pounds, shape non-Normal
c. Mean = 18.5 pounds, standard deviation - 14.1 pounds, shape approximately Normal
d. Mean = 18.5 pounds, standard deviation = 14.1 pounds, shape non-Normal
e. The difference of means is 18.5 pounds and the shape is non-Normal, but the standard deviation cannot be determined since the sample size is small and the distribution of dog weights is non-Normal.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Mean = 18.5 pounds, standard deviation = 4.48 pounds, shape non-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.

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 of samples:

When two samples are subtracted, we have that the mean is the difference between the means and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

The mean weight of dogs in a certain city is 28 pounds with a standard deviation of 14 pounds. Sample of 10

This means that [tex]\mu_{D} = 28, s_D = \frac{14}{\sqrt{10}} = 4.4272[/tex]

Mean weights of cats is 9.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 2 pounds. Sample of 8.

This means that [tex]\mu_{C} = 9.5, s_{C} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{8}} = 0.7071[/tex]

Which of the following is an accurate description of the center, spread, and shape of the sampling distribution of the difference in the mean weight dogs and the mean weight of cats?

The mean is:

[tex]\mu = \mu_{D} - \mu_{C} = 28 - 9.5 = 18.5[/tex]

The standard deviation(spread) is:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_{D}^2+s_{C}^2} = \sqrt{4.4272^2+0.7071^2} = 4.48[/tex]

Normal distribution subtracted by non-normal(sample of cats is less than 30, so wont be normal), will be non-normal.

The correct answer is given by option b.

Base area= length ×width

Let's convert all the mixed numbers into improper fraction for easier calculation.

Width

[tex] = \frac{7(2)}{2} + \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{14}{2} + \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Volume of prism

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find the area of the rectangle thing,

A = lw

14 x 8

112

but, there is a semicircle in it so you need to subtract that from it:

A = πr^2/2

A = π(4)^2/2

A = π16/2

A = 8π

A ≈ 25.132741228718346

then subtract that area from the area of the rectangle:

112 - 25.132741228718346

86.867258771281654

or about 89.9

Anthony currently earns $11.75 per hour.
• He will get a $0.25 raise after 6 months.
• He will get a 2.5% raise after an additional 6 months.
After Anthony gets both raises, what will his pay be for 38 hours of work?

Answers

first 6 months passed:

11.75+0.25= $12.00

additional 6 months passed:

2.5%= 0.025

$12.00*.025= .30

$12.00+0.30= $12.30

$12.30*38= $467.40


Answer: $467.40

Answer:

$467.40

Step-by-step explanation:

well if you take his original pay (11.75) and add 0.25, you get 12.00 per hour.

12.00 + 2.5% raise would be:

12.00 + 0.3 or 30 cents, so the pay per hour is 12.30.

then take 12.30 x 38 and you should get $467.40

so after both raises, and 38 hours of work, he will earn $467.40

hope this helps

2 + 6 = 8 are juniors.

If a student is selected at random, find the probability the student is a junior.

One hundred volunteers who have agoraphobia (fear of open and crowded space) are available for a study. Fifty are selected at random and are given the drug imipramine, which is believed to be effective in treating agoraphobia. The other 50 are given a placebo. A psychiatrist evaluates the symptoms of all volunteers after two months to determine if there has been substantial improvement in the severity of their symptoms.

A. Matched pair design
B. Observational study
C. Completely randomized block design
D. Completely randomized design

Answers

Answer:

D. Completely randomized design

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the description given about the experiment above and the manner in which the subjects were assigned to each of the treatment groups available, we can deduce that the study was conducted using a completely randomized design. The subjects weren't matched or blocked for any variable such as sex, height, age or any other variable. They were just evenly split randomly into the two available treatment levels ( those who receive the treatment and the placebo) group. With this design, all subjects have an equal chance of being in any of the two groups and the selection bias is almost totally eliminated using this sort of design as errors are being considered as arising from experimental faults.
