The federal government would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of men filing for Social Security is higher than the average age of women with the following data: Men Women Sample mean 64.5 years 63.6 years Sample size 35 39 Population standard deviation 3.0 years 3.5 years If Population 1 is defined as men and Population 2 is defined as women, the 90% confidence interval for the difference in population means is (closest to) ________. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is  [tex] -0.3433<  \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 2.1433[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample mean for men is  [tex]\= x_1 = 64.5 \ years[/tex]

    The sample mean for women is  [tex]\= x_2 = 63.6 \ years[/tex]

     The sample size for men  is   [tex]n_1 = 35[/tex]

      The sample size for women is  [tex]n_2 = 39[/tex]

      The standard deviation for men is [tex]s_1 = 3.0[/tex]

       The standard deviation for women is  [tex]s_2 = 3.5[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645 [/tex]

Generally the standard error is mathematically represented as

     [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2 }{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]SE = \sqrt{\frac{3^2 }{35} + \frac{3.5^2}{39} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]SE = 0.7558[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

       [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 1.645 * 0.7558[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 1.2433[/tex]

Generally 90% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex](\= x_1 - \= x_2) -E <  \mu_1 - \mu_2 <  (\= x_1 - \= x_2) -E [/tex]

=>    [tex](64.5 - 63.6) -1.2433<  \mu_1 - \mu_2 <(64.5 - 63.6) +1.2433[/tex]

=>    [tex] -0.3433<  \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 2.1433[/tex]

An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.6 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 160 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.25. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is [tex]\mu = 5.6 \ pounds/inch^2[/tex]

     The  sample size is  n =  160

      The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 5.7 \ pounds/ inch^2[/tex]

     The variance is [tex]\sigma ^2 = 0.25[/tex]

       The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 5.6[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu > 5.6[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

           [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma ^2 }[/tex]

=>         [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.25 }[/tex]  

=>         [tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]  

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>     [tex]z = \frac{5.7 - 5.6 }{ \frac{0.5 }{\sqrt{ 160 } } }[/tex]  

=>     [tex]z = 2.53[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  2.53   is

        [tex]p-value = P(Z > 2.53 ) =0.0057[/tex]

From the value obtained we see that the [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis  

The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the believe  that the valve performs above the specifications is true

 

An airport limo service charges riders a fixed charge of $15 plus
$4.00 per mile. How many miles must a rider go to have an
average cost per mile of $4.60?

Answers

Given:

An airport limo service charges riders a fixed charge of $15 plus  $4.00 per mile.

To find:

Distance in miles must a rider go to have an  average cost per mile of $4.60.

Solution:

Let x be the number of miles the rider travel.

Total charges = Fixed charges + Variable charges

According to the question,

Fixed charges = $15

Variable charges = $4x

So,  total charges

[tex]T=15+4x[/tex]

Divide the total charges by number of miles to get the cost per mile.

[tex]\text{Cost per mile}=\dfrac{15+4x}{x}[/tex]

Average cost per mile is $4.60.

[tex]4.60=\dfrac{15+4x}{x}[/tex]

[tex]4.60x=15+4x[/tex]

[tex]4.60x-4x=15[/tex]

[tex]0.60x=15[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.60.

[tex]x=\dfrac{15}{0.60}[/tex]

[tex]x=25[/tex]

Therefore, the required number of miles is 25.

which of the equations below represents a line parallel to the x-axis?

a. x=5
b. y=1/x
c. y=x
d. y=5

Answers

Answer:

d. y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5.

The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.

Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.

Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. No fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. If the fencing costs $14 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $7000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (Enter the dimensions as a comma separated list.)

Answers

Answer:

Width  = 166.7 ft

Length = 250 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram at the ATTACHMENT

Let us denote the the length of the rectangular area as "x" and

the width of the rectangular area as "y"

Since, cost of the fence on the western side is shared with a neighbor, we can say  it is $7 per foot. Otherwise, it is $14 per foot. The northern length is not fenced.

From the question, we know that the  cost is not to exceed $7000, therefore we can expressed it as

7y + 14x + 14y = 7000

14x + 21y = 7000

Divide through by 14, we have

(x + 1.5) = 500  ------------- eqn (*)            

But the area of the fenced

= A = (x×y)      -------------- eqn  (**)                    

Substitute (*) into (**) we have

A = (500 - 1.5y)*y

= 500y - 1.5y²

In other to maximize the Area, we can find the differential of A

A'(y) = 500 - 3y

At A'(y) = 0.

500-3y= 0

3y=500

y= 166.67 ft

From eqn(*)

(x+ 1.5) = 500

x = 500 - 1.5y

500-1.5(166.67)

= 250ft

Therefore, the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are

Width  of 166.67 ft and Length = 250 ft.

Step 2: Multiply.

Basically, make sure that if you do something to the bottom you do the same to the top. You have

janet can read 2.95 pages of a book in a minute if she reads for 4.7 minutes how much would she have read

Answers

Answer:

Janet reads 13.865 pages in 4.7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Janet can read 2.95 pages of a book in a minute.

unit rate = 2.95 pages/per minute

As she reads for 4.7 minutes.

We just need to multiply 4.7 minutes with 2.95 to determine total pages she would read in 4.7 minutes.

i.e.

4.7 × 2.95 = 13.865 pages

Therefore, Janet reads 13.865 pages in 4.7 minutes.
