An investigator compares the durability of two different compounds used in the manufacture of a certain automobile brake lining. A sample of 127 brakes using Compound 1 yields an average brake life of 42,814 miles. A sample of 163 brakes using Compound 2 yields an average brake life of 37,197 miles. Assume that the population standard deviation for Compound 1 is 1819 miles, while the population standard deviation for Compound 2 is 1401 miles. Determine the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between average lifetimes for brakes using Compound 1 and brakes using Compound 2.
Step 1 of 3 is Point estimate so 42,814 - 37,197 = 5,617
Step 2 of 3 :
Calculate the margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Round your answer to six decimal places.
Step 3 of 3:
Construct the 98% confidence interval. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. (lower and upper endpoint)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The point estimate is 5,617.

The margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is 454.18386 .

The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (5163, 6071).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.  

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.

Compound 1:

127 brakes, average brake life of 42,814 miles, population standard deviation of 1819 miles. This means that:

[tex]\mu_1 = 42814[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \frac{1819}{\sqrt{127}} = 161.41[/tex]

Compound 2:

163 brakes, average brake life of 37,197 miles, population standard deviation of 1401 miles. This means that:

[tex]\mu_2 = 37197[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \frac{1401}{\sqrt{163}} = 109.73[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 42814 - 37197 = 5617[/tex]

The point estimate is 5,617.

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{161.41^2 + 109.73^2} = 195.18[/tex]

Confidence interval

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\mu \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].  

Margin of error:

[tex]M = zs = 195.18*2.327 = 454.18386 [/tex]

The margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is 454.18386 .

For the confidence interval, as we round to the nearest whole number, we round it 454. So

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]\mu - zs = \mu - M = 5617 - 454 = 5163[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]\mu + zs = \mu + M = 5617 + 454 = 6071[/tex]

The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (5163, 6071).

1/5 (2x - 10) + 4x = -3(1/5x + 4)

a bit ambiguous, I'll ASSUME you mean

1/5 (2x - 10) + 4x = -3(x/5 + 4)

     2x/5 - 2 + 4x = -3x/5 - 12

Which shows two triangles that are congruent by AAS

Answers

Answer:

answer A is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles ( A ) are congruent by AAS theorem

What are Congruent Triangles?

Transformations change the size or position of shapes. Congruent shapes are identical, but may be reflected, rotated or translated. Scale factors can increase or decrease the size of a shape. Congruent Triangles simply mean the triangles that possess the same size and shape

The three sides are equal (SSS: side, side, side)

Two angles are the same and a corresponding side is the same (ASA: angle, side, angle)

Two sides are equal and the angle between the two sides is equal (SAS: side, angle, side)

A right angle, the hypotenuse and a corresponding side are equal (RHS, right angle, hypotenuse, side)

Given data ,

Let the first triangle be represented as ΔABC

Let the second triangle be represented as ΔABD

Now , AB is the common side of both the triangles

And , measure of ∠ACB = measure of ∠ADB

And , the measure of ∠ABC = measure of ∠ABD = 90°

So , Two angles are the same and a corresponding side is the same (ASA: angle, side, angle)

Hence , the triangles are congruent

Answer: 160

Step-by-step explanation: The questions says that there are 144 which make up 90% of the total group.

What is the other 10%? To figure this out, we can set up a proportion which we can do in the following way:

144/t = 90/100

From here, you can cross multiply 144 x 100 = 14,400

90t = 14,400

t= 160

You can always check by plugging 160 into t to make sure the proportion is equal. I picked t as my varriable of choice which stands for team members. But you can pick an varriable (letter) to find an unknown.

In practice, is best that your child uses a calculator because in the real world, its a practical handy tool and one doesn't have time to memorize every detail by doing that long division. Once your child gets the hang of practicing setting up proportions, your child can solve a variety of problems without going back in circles.

Hope this explanation helps. Best of luck to you and your child.

Michelle paid $3.00 per shirt. When she sells each shirt, she adds 150% markup to the price she paid for the shirt. What is the selling price for each shirt?

Answers

Answer:

$8.50 per shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shirt was $3 originally, and they added 150% markup, 100% of 3 is 3.

so a 100% markup of a $3 shirt would be 6 dollars.

But since she marked it up 150%, you have to know 50% of $3.  

50% of something is half, so

3 / 2 = 1.5

so ontop of the $3 extra, she adds $1.5, so

3 + 3 + 1.5 = 8.5

Michelle will sell the shirts for $8.50 each
