A tire manufacturer is interested in testing the fuel economy for two different tread patterns. Tires of each tread type are driven for 1000 miles on each of 18 different cars. In a separate experiment, 18 cars were outfitted with tires with tread type A, and another 18 were outfitted with tires with tread type B. Each car was driven 1000 miles. The cars with tread type A averaged 23.95 mpg, with a standard deviation of 1.79 mpg. The cars with tread type B averaged 22.19 mpg, with a standard deviation of 1.95 mpg. Let μX represent the population mean mileage for tread type A and let μY represent the population mean mileage for tread type B.

Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference μXâμY. Round the answers to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the t-distribution, it is found that the 99% confidence interval for the difference is (0.058, 3.462).

We are given the standard deviation for the samples, hence, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The standard errors are given by:

[tex]s_A = \frac{1.79}{\sqrt{18}} = 0.4219[/tex]

[tex]s_B = \frac{1.95}{\sqrt{18}} = 0.4596[/tex]

For the distribution of differences, the mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_A - \mu_B = 23.95 - 22.19 = 1.76[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{0.4219^2 + 0.4596^2} = 0.6239[/tex]

The interval is given by:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm ts[/tex]

The critical value for a two-tailed 99% confidence interval with 18 + 18 - 2 = 34 df is t = 2.7284.

Then:

[tex]\overline{x} - ts = 1.76 - 2.7284(0.6239) = 0.058[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + ts = 1.76 + 2.7284(0.6239) = 3.462[/tex]

The 99% confidence interval for the difference is (0.058, 3.462).

An experiment is conducted examining the effects of a new type of toothpaste on reducing cavities. Individuals in the treatment condition are given the new toothpaste; individuals in the control condition are given the standard toothpaste, but are told that they're receiving the new toothpaste. At the end of the experiment, the control group participants demonstrate a slightly higher decline in cavities. This is an example of a(n):____.
a. Wording bias.
b. Voluntary response bias.
c. Over-sampling effect.
d. Placebo effect.
d. Hawthorne effect.

Answers

The experimental effect highlighted by the scenario described would most likely be an example of placebo effect.

An observed change in the control group which are being given the placebo would have been triggered due to psychological expectation based on the information given. Hence, this is called the placebo effect.

The standard toothpaste was not suppose to cause decline in cavities, however, since the group have been told that they we given the new toothpaste which is said to reduce cavities, this could trigger a psychological change hence causing them to have higher cavity decline.

Hello!

2x+5y=10

We want to turn this equation into y=mx+b form:

5y=-2x+10

Divide both sides by 5:

y=-2/5x+2

Now, the equation of the line parallel to it:

Remember, parallel lines have the same slope.

So these two lines have the same slope (-2/5)

Now, use Point-Slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y=1=-2/5(x-(-5)

y-1=-2/5(x+5)

y-1=-2/5x-2

y=-2/5x-2+1

y=-2/5-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x you put them into an equation of: (x+6) = (3x+2), this would let you find that x=2, since 2+6 = 6+2. Once you've plugged that in all you need to do is add together all the sides, and since side A and side B are both 8 you do 12+16 to get the perimeter of 28 inches.

HOW DO I FIND QR

PLEASE HELP

Answers

Solution: For finding QR we need to apply Pythagoras Theorem

What is Pythagoras Theorem ?

ans : Pythagoras Theorem is the sum of square of two sides which is equal to the third side or the hypotenuse. This formula is valid oy incase of Right-Angled Traingle because one of three angles here is 90°

According to this law let's apply it in the diagram shown here.

(Hypotenuse)² = (Adjacent)² + (Opposite)²

(PR)² = (QR)² + (PQ)²

(5x - 2)² = (QR)² + (3x - 1)²

(QR)² = (5x - 2)² - (3x - 1)²

After factorising both of them we get

(QR)² = 25x² - 20x + 4 - (9x² - 6x + 1)

(QR)² = 25x² - 20x + 4 - 9x² + 6x - 1

(QR)² = 16x² - 14x + 3

QR = √(16x² - 14x + 3)

So, QR is √(16x² - 14x + 3)

8.) The grocery store is having a sale on frozen vegetables. 4 bags are being sold for $11.96. At this rate, what is the cost of:
a) 1 bag
b) 9 bags

Answers

a) 1 bag is $2.99

b) 9 bags are $26.91.

$11.96/4 is 2.99

So one bag costs $2.99 and for any rest of number of bags we just multiply that number by 2.99!!

Hope this helps. :)

Answer:

a) $2.99

b) $26.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 4 bags cost $11.96, you can find the price of an individual bag by dividing $11.96 by 4.

Since

$11.96 / 4 = $2.99

One bag costs $2.99

To find the price of 9 bags, just multiply 2.99$ by 9:

$2.99 * 9 = $26.91

Find the probability that the total amount of product is less than 575\,\text{g}575g575, start text, g, end text.
You may round your answer to two decimal places.
P(T<575)\approx

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.When two normal variables are added, the mean is the sum of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

In this problem, the product is composed by flakes and raisins, and we have that:

[tex]\mu_F = 370, \sigma_F = 24, \mu_R = 170, \sigma_R = 7[/tex]

Hence, the distribution for the total amount of product has mean and standard deviation given by:

[tex]\mu = \mu_F + \mu_R = 370 + 170 = 540[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_F^2 + \sigma_R^2} = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = 25[/tex]

The probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g is the p-value of Z when X = 575, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{575 - 540}{25}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9192.

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g.
