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)

Answers

Answer 1

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).

Subjects in a study by Dabonneville et al. (A-9) included a sample of 40 men who claimed to engage in a variety of sports activities (multisport). The mean body mass index (BMI) for these men was 22.41 with a standard deviation of 1.27. A sample of 24 male rugby players had a mean BMI of 27.75 with a standard deviation of 2.64. Is there sufficient evidence for one to claim that, in general, rugby players have a higher BMI than the multisport men? Let a ¼ :01.

Answers

Answer:

The responses can be defined as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_2\\\\H_a : \mu_1 < \mu_2[/tex]

Testing the hypothesis:

[tex]Z=\frac{( \bar{x_1}-\bar{x_2})}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}[/tex]

   [tex]=\frac{(22.41-27.75)}{\sqrt{(\frac{1.27^2}{40}+\frac{2.64^2}{24})}}\\\\=-9.29\\\\[/tex]

[tex]a=0.01[/tex]

critical value [tex]Z(0.01)=-2.33[/tex] (using the standard normal table)

[tex]Z=-9.29<-2.33[/tex] so, we reject [tex]H_o[/tex].

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is sufficient evidence for one to claim that, in general, rugby players have a higher BMI than the multisport men.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested that rugby players do not have a higher BMI than the multi-sport men, that is, the subtraction of the means is not greater than 0, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu_R - \mu_M \leq 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they have a higher BMI, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu_R - \mu_M > 0[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the samples, hence, the t-distribution is used.

The standard errors are given by:

[tex]s_M = \frac{1.27}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.2008[/tex]

[tex]s_R = \frac{2.64}{\sqrt{24}} = 0.5389[/tex]

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

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_R - \mu_M = 27.75 - 22.41 = 5.34[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_M^2 + s_R^2} = \sqrt{0.2008^2 + 0.5389^2} = 0.5751[/tex]

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{5.34 - 0}{0.5751}[/tex]

[tex]t = 9.29[/tex]

Using a t-distribution calculator, for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05 and 40 + 24 - 2 = 62 df, the critical value is of [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.67[/tex]

Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is sufficient evidence for one to claim that, in general, rugby players have a higher BMI than the multisport men.

[tex]x[/tex] rounded to the nearest integer would be 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the length of [tex]x[/tex], you can use the law of sines, a trigonometry rule used to solve the angles and sides of a right triangle. The law of sines states that the sine of an angle in a triangle divided by its opposite side is equivalent to all other angles taken to their sines and divided by their opposite sides. Using this rule, we can now calculate the length of [tex]x[/tex]. In this case, [tex]\frac{sin(90^{o})}{15} = \frac{sin(53^{o})}{x}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{15}{sin(90^{o})} = \frac{x}{sin(53^{o})}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]x=\frac{15*sin(53^{o})}{sin(90^{o})}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]x=15*sin(53^{o} )[/tex] ⇒ [tex]x[/tex] ≈ 12. So side [tex]x[/tex] rounded to the nearest integer would be 12.

The value of x in the given triangle is 12, Option C is correct.

The given triangle is a right angled triangle.

We need to find the value of x.

We know that cosx is adjacent side by hypotenuse.

Cos 37 = Adjacent side/ Hypotenuse

The value of cos37 degrees is 0.7654

0.7654 = x/15
