An experiment on the teaching of reading compares two methods, A and B. The response variable is the Degree of Reading Power (DRP) score. The experimenter uses Method A in a class of 100 students and Method B in a comparable class of 100 students. Students are assigned to the two classes at random. Suppose that in the population of all children of this age the DRP score has the N(75, 30) distribution if Method A is used and the N(74, 40) distribution if Method B is used. Let us call the mean DRP score for 100 students in the A group. Let us call the mean DRP score for 100 students in the B group ý.

Required:
What is the probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0% probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution, the central limit theorem, and subtraction of normal variables:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

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.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract two normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the mean of each variable, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of each variance.

Method A:

One student: N(75,30), so [tex]\mu = 75, \sigma = 30[/tex]

Samples of 100 students: [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{30}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.3[/tex]

Method B:

One student: N(74,40), so [tex]\mu = 74, \sigma = 40[/tex]

Samples of 100 students: [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{40}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.4[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group?

This is the probability that B - A >= 5. So

[tex]\mu_{B-A} = \mu_B - \mu_A = 74 - 75 = -1[/tex]

[tex]s_{B-A} = \sqrt{s_A^{2}+S_B^{2}} = \sqrt{(0.3)^2+(0.4)^2} = 0.5[/tex]

We have to find 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{5 - (-1)}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 12[/tex]

[tex]Z = 12[/tex] has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0, so

0% probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group

A farmer sells 6.3 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 4 5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. How many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmer's market?

Answers

1.8 if Im not mistaken

Answer:

1.8 Kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the farmer sells 6.3 Kilograms of fruit in total and 4.5 Kilograms of this weight is pears, you have to subtract 4.5 from 6.3.

6.3-4.5 = 1.8

So, there are 1.8 Kilograms of apples.

The 95% confidence interval for these parts is 56.98 to 57.05 under normal operations. A systematic sample is taken from the manufacturing line to determine if the production process is still within acceptable levels. The mean of the sample is 56.96. What should be done about the production line

Answers

Answer:

Stop the line of production since the sample mean  (56.96) is outside the confidence interval [[tex]CI_{0.95}[/tex] = ( 56.98, 57.05 )]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

95% confidence interval for these parts is 56.98 to 57.05

[tex]CI_{0.95}[/tex] = ( 56.98, 57.05 )

Sample mean = 56.96

We know that;

If the sample mean is within the confidence interval then, our decision is to keep the line operating as it is inside the confidence interval.

But if the sample mean is not within the confidence interval them, our decision is to stop the line of production as it is outside the confidence interval.

Now since our mean sample (56.96) does not lie between with the 95% confidence interval [tex]CI_{0.95}[/tex] = ( 56.98, 57.05 ).

Therefore, Stop the line of production since the sample mean  (56.96) is outside the confidence interval [[tex]CI_{0.95}[/tex] = ( 56.98, 57.05 )]

A body of mass 2 kg moves in a (counterclockwise) circular path of radius 3 meters, making one revolution every 5 seconds. You may assume the circle is in the xy-plane, and so you may ignore the third component.
A. Compute the centripetal force acting on the body.
B. Compute the magnitude of that force.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]\vec{F_{c}}=mR\omega^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{F_{c}}=9.53 \: N \vec{r}[/tex]

b) [tex]|\vec{F_{c}}|=9.53 \: N [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The centripetal force equation is:

[tex]\vec{F_{c}}=m\vec{a_{c}}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{F_{c}}=mR\omega^{2}[/tex]

Now, we know that the body makes one revolution every 5 seconds, so we can find the angular velocity:

[tex]\omega=\frac{1 rev}{5 s}=0.2\: \frac{rev}{s}=1.26\: \frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{F_{c}}=2*3*1.26^{2}=9.53 \: N \vec{r}[/tex]

The centripetal force is a vector in the radius direction.

b) The magnitude of that force will be:

[tex]|\vec{F_{c}}|=9.53 \: N [/tex]

20x=-58-2y

Answers

Answer:

20x = -58 - 2y( Ans~ x= -29/11)

17x = -49 - 2y (Ans~ x = -49/19)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) 20x = -58 2x

   20x + 2x = -58

   22x = -58

   x = -29/11

(2) 17x = -49 - 2x

   17x + 2x = -49

   19x = -49

   x = -49/19

U WELCOME!!

Answer:

y=1

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

20x=-58-2y

20x/20=(-58-2y)/20

x=(-58-2y)/20

17x=-49-2y

17x/17=(-49-2y)/17

x=(-49-2y)/17

(-58-2y)/20=(-49-2y)/17

17(-58-2y)=20(-49-2y)

-986-34y=-980-40y

add 40y to both sides

6y-986=-980

add 986 to both sides

6y=6

divide both sides by 6

y=1

substitute

20x=-58-2(1)

20x=-60

x=-3

Proof: (substituting x & y values in original equations)

20(-3)=-58-2(1)

-60=-60

17(-3)=-49-2(1)

Amy and Joey are situated on a circular track 400 feet around. Joey starts running at a rate of 10 feet per second. Amy waits for a full minute, then starts running from the same point (in the same direction) at 12 feet per second. How many seconds elapse before Amy passes Joey on the track?

Answers

Answer: 15 second

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy to be at the start point is 400 seconds and for Joey to be at the start point is 333.3 seconds, in that time Joey finished the 10 turns, and Amy had ended the 12.

How many seconds elapse before Amy passes Joey on the track?

Joey starts running at v₁ = 10 m/sec  

Amy starts running at v₂ = 12 m/sec

we know that d = v [tex]*[/tex] t then t = d/v

Joey will take 400 / 10 = 40 seconds

Amy will take 400 / 12 = 33.33 seconds

To check  Joey  10 [tex]*[/tex] 40 = 400

And the Amy 12 [tex]*[/tex] 33.33 = 333.3

That means that time required for Amy to be at the start point is 400 seconds and for Joey to be at the start point is 333.3 seconds, in that time Joey finished the 10 turns, and Amy had ended the 12.

Therefore, 12 seconds elapse before Amy passes Joey on the track.

Answers

x = -10 and y = -43 so the correct answer would be (-10,-43)

Answer:

x= -10

y= -43

Step-by-step explanation:

since both of your equations equals y just plug it into each other and than make the equation: 5x+7=4x-3

and than you can just start with the variables OR numbers and then simplify

5x+7=4x-3

5x+10=4x

10= -x

x= -10

so -10 for x

plug it in to one of your 2 equations to get y

5(-10)+7= y

-50+7=y

y= -43
