The local branch of the Internal Revenue Service spent an average of 21 minutes helping each of 10 people prepare their tax returns. The standard deviation was 5.6 minutes. A volunteer tax preparer spent an average of 27 minutes helping 14 people prepare their taxes. The standard deviation was 4.3 minutes. At α = 0.02, is there a difference in the average time spent by the two services? Find the 98% confidence interval for the two means.
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value(s).
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The confidence Interval is [- 0.7053  10.4521]

a: The  hypotheses  are

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

b. The critical value for t∝/2 for 17 d.f  t > 2.508 and  t < -2.111

c. t= -2.8422

d. The calculated value of t= -2.8422 is less than t < -2.11 the critical value therefore we reject H0 and conclude there is a difference between the two means.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the standard deviations are not the same then the confidence intervals for mean differences are calculated as

(x1`-x2`)- t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2 < u1-u2 < (x1`-x2`)+ t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2

x1`= 21        x2`= 27

n1=  10       n2= 14

s1= 5.6       s2= 4.3

The degrees of freedom is calculated using

υ = [s₁²/n1 + s₂²/n2]²/ (s₁²/n1 )²/ n1-1 + (s₂²/n2)²/n2-1

= 17

The t∝/2 for 17 d.f = 2.11

Putting the values

(x1`-x2`)- t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2 < u1-u2 < (x1`-x2`)+ t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2

(21-27) - 2.11√5.6²/10+ 4.3²/14 < u1-u2 <(21-27)  +2.11√5.6²/10+4.3²/14

6- 2.11*2.111 < u1-u2 <  ( 6 )  +2.11*2.111

6- 4.4521 < u1-u2 <  ( 6 )  +5.294

- 1.5479 < u1-u2 <  10.4521

The confidence Interval is [- 0.7053  10.4521]

a: The  hypotheses  are

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

The claim is that there is a difference in the average time spent by the two services

b. The critical value for t∝/2 for 17 d.f  t > 2.508 and  t < -2.111

The degrees of freedom is calculated using

υ = [s₁²/n1 + s₂²/n2]²/ (s₁²/n1 )²/ n1-1 + (s₂²/n2)²/n2-1

= 17

c. The test statistic is

t= (x1`-x2`)  /√s1²/n1 + s2²/n2

t= (21-27)  /√5.6²/10+ 4.3²/14

t= -6/2.111

t= -2.8422

d. The calculated value of t= -2.8422 is less than t < -2.11 the critical value therefore we reject H0 and conclude there is a difference between the two means.

Two people meet in the purple room on the fourth floor of a building. On departure, one person travels West 20 feet, South 12 feet, and Down 12 feet. The other person travels North 20 feet, East 10 feet, and Up 12 feet. How far apart are the two people? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

50 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a 3-dimensional coordinate system (see the attached image).

This setup shows an axis that runs North-South (South is negative, North is positive), an axis that runs East-West (East is positive, West is negative), and an axis that runs Up-Down (Up is positive, Down is negative).

The two points in question are then:

First person's location (12, -20, -12), and the second person's location is (-20, 10, 12).

The distance between two points  [tex]\left( x_1,\,y_1,\,z_1\right)[/tex]  and  [tex]\left( x_2,\,y_2,\,z_2\right)[/tex] is

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-20-12)^2+(10-(-20))^2+(12-(-12))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-32)^2+30^2+24^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{2500}\\\\d=50[/tex]

3) for find f we have to notice that the sum of the three angles (if you look at the vertical line you can notice that it is a straight line, so describes two angles whose measures are 180 degrees)

f = 180 - (35 + 109)

Step-by-step explanation:

first slope= 0 on the x axis so -2-3=-5

to get 3 you can do 4-1=3 or 7-4 or even 1-(-2)!

Correct answer: [tex]y = 3x -5[/tex]

You don't have to use the whole table in order to find equation. You can use just two points on the table to start.

In order to find the slope, the formula for that is: [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex]. So, we can start with points (1, -2) and (2, 1). Label (1, -2) as [tex]x_{1}[/tex] and [tex]y_{1}[/tex]; label (2, 1) as [tex]x_{2}[/tex] and [tex]y_{2}[/tex]. Now we can plug the numbers into the formula.

[tex]\frac{1-(-2)}{2 - 1}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] → [tex]3[/tex] is the slope.

To find the y-intercept, substitute (1, -2) into [tex]y = 3x + b[/tex].

[tex](-2) = 3(1) + b[/tex]

[tex]-2 = 3 + b[/tex]

[tex]-3[/tex]   [tex]-3[/tex]

________

[tex]b = -5[/tex] is the y-intercept.

Thus, the slope-intercept equation is [tex]y = 3x -5[/tex]. Hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any other questions related to this problem!

Answer:

<A =  7x -11 =  87

<B = 2x-3 =  25

<C = 5x -2 = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles add to 180

7x -11 + 2x-3 + 5x-2 = 180

Combine like terms

7x +2x+5x -11-3-2 =180

14x-16=180

Add 16 to each side

14x-16+16 =180+16

14x = 196

Divide each side by 14

14x/14 =196/14

x =14

<A =  7x -11 = 7*14 -11 = 98-11 = 87

<B = 2x-3 = 2*14 -3 = 28-3 = 25

What is the height of the cone?
A. 4 Inches
B. 16 inches
C. 48 inches
D. 96 Inches

Answers

It’s 16 inches I my sister did this

Answer:

D. 96 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of cylinder = 1/2 * 24 = 12 inches.

Radius of the cone = 1/2 * 12 = 6 inches.

Volume of the cylinder = pi r^2 h and volume of the cone = 1/3 pi r^2 h

So pi 12^2 * 8 = 1/3 pi * 6^2 * h

1152 pi = 12 pi h

h = 1152/12

h = 96 inches.
