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)
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).

if a 48-gram serving of pasta contains 6 g of protein how many grams of protein are in a 1,362 gram box of pasta
Answer:
170.25 grams of protein
Step-by-step explanation:
6/48 = p/1362
cross multiply
6 x 1362 = 48p
8172 = 48p
isolate variable (p) with division
8172/48 = p
170.25 = p
In ΔPQR, the measure of ∠R=90°, QP = 85, RQ = 13, and PR = 84. What ratio represents the cosecant of ∠P?
Given:
In ΔPQR, the measure of ∠R=90°, QP = 85, RQ = 13, and PR = 84.
To find:
The cosecant of ∠P.
Solution:
In a right angle triangle,
[tex]\text{cosec}\theta =\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Perpendicular}[/tex]
It is also written as:
[tex]\text{cosec}\theta =\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Opposite}[/tex]
In triangle PQR, QP is the hypotenuse because ∠R=90°.
[tex]\text{cosec}P =\dfrac{QP}{RQ}[/tex]
[tex]\text{cosec}P =\dfrac{85}{13}[/tex]
Therefore, the required trigonometric ratio is [tex]\text{cosec}P =\dfrac{85}{13}[/tex].

O A. X=-6.09, x= 5.09
B. There is no solution.
O C. x=-3.09, x= 2.09
D. X=-3, x= 2
The solutions for the equation 23 - x² - 2x = 0 are:
x = 4
x = -6
Option A is the correct answer.
We have,
To solve the rational equation:
1/(x - 1) - 1/(x + 3) - 1/5 = 0
We need to find the common denominator and combine the fractions on the left-hand side.
The common denominator is (x - 1)(x + 3)(5).
Multiplying each term by the common denominator:
[(x + 3)(5) - (x - 1)(5) - (x - 1)(x + 3)] / [(x - 1)(x + 3)(5)] = 0
Simplifying:
[5(x + 3) - 5(x - 1) - (x - 1)(x + 3)] / [(x - 1)(x + 3)(5)] = 0
[5x + 15 - 5x + 5 - (x² + 3x - x - 3)] / [(x - 1)(x + 3)(5)] = 0
[5x + 15 - 5x + 5 - x² - 3x + x + 3 ] / [(x - 1)(x + 3)(5)] = 0
Simplifying further:
[23 - x² - 2x ] / [(x - 1)(x + 3)(5)] = 0
Now, we set the numerator equal to zero since a fraction is zero if and only if its numerator is zero:
23 - x² - 2x = 0
To solve the quadratic equation 23 - x² - 2x = 0, we can rearrange it to the standard form:
x² + 2x - 23 = 0
Now, we can solve it using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula. Let's solve it using the quadratic formula:
The quadratic formula states that for an equation in the form
ax² + bx + c = 0, the solutions for x are given by:
x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)
For our equation x² + 2x - 23 = 0, the coefficients are a = 1, b = 2, and
c = -23.
Substituting these values into the quadratic formula:
x = (-2 ± √(2² - 4(1)(-23))) / (2(1))
Simplifying:
x = (-2 ± √(4 + 92)) / 2
x = (-2 ± √96) / 2
x = (-2 ± 4√6) / 2
Simplifying further:
x = -1 ± 2√6
Therefore,
The solutions for the equation 23 - x² - 2x = 0 are:
x = -1 + 2√6 = 3.89 = 4
x = -1 - 2√6 = -5.89 = -6

Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is : [tex]256-\dfrac{x^2}{4}[/tex].
We need to factorize it.
We know that, 16² = 256

A smartphone costs $250. Sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost, including tax?
The cost of the smartphone, with tax, is $
Answer:17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Our output value is 250
We represent the unknown value wit “x”
250= 100%
x= 7%
By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%); we have
250/x = 100%/7%
Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
x/250= 7/100
X= 17.5
17.5=7% of 250

$1555.00 at 8% for 2 years
PLEASE HELP ASAP
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf \$ 1803.80}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are using the formula I=PRT and calculating simple interest.
[tex]I=PRT[/tex]
I is the interest, P is the principal or starting amount, R is the interest rate as a decimal, and T is the time in years.
We know that there is $1555.00 at 8% for 2 years. First, convert the interest rate to a decimal. Divide the rate by 100 or move the decimal place 2 spots to the left.
8/100 = 0.08 8. --> 0.8 --> 0.08Now we know all the values:
P= 1555.00 R= 0.08T= 2Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]I= (1555.00)(0.08)(2)[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]I=124.4(2)[/tex]
[tex]I=248.8[/tex]
The account earned $248.80 in interest, but the question asks for the total amount in the account. We must add the interest to the starting amount.
[tex]1555.00 +248.80[/tex]
[tex]1803.8[/tex]
After 2 years, the savings account had $1803.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Principal=P=1555
Rate of Interest=I=8%=0.08
Time=t=2
Interest=I=PRT

When Rashaad goes bowling, his scores are normally distributed with a mean of 175
and a standard deviation of 13. Using the empirical rule, determine the interval that
would represent the middle 68% of the scores of all the games that Rashaad bowls.
Answer:
The interval (162, 188)would represent the middle 68% of the scores of all the games that Rashaad bowls.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the empirical rule of normal distribution, for any normally distributed curve, the values lie between the extreme values i.e
(μ - σ) and (μ + σ).
Given
μ = 175
σ = 13
(μ - σ) = 175 -13 = 162
(μ + σ) = 175 + 13 = 188
Hence the required interval is 162, 188

If (x - 2) is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = x⁴ -3x³ + ax² -16x + 20.
Then the value of a is -17.
What is a polynomial?An expression that consists of variables, constants, and exponents that are combined using mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is referred to as a polynomial.
Given:
A polynomial,
x⁴ -3x³ + ax² -16x + 20.
If x - 2 is a factor the x = 2 is the zeros of the polynomial.
When x = 2,
then,
x⁴ -3x³ + ax² -16x + 20 = 0
2⁴ -3(2)³ + a(2)² -16(2) + 20 =0
48 + 20 + 4a = 0
4a = -68
a = -17
Therefore, the value of a is -17.
