Two catalysts may be used in a batch chemical process. twelve batches were prepared using catalyst 1, resulting in an average yield of 85 and a sample standard deviation of 3. fifteen batches were prepared using catalyst 2, and they resulted in an average yield of 91 with a standard deviation of 2. assume that yield measurements are approximately normally distributed with the same standard deviation. (a) is there evidence to support the claim that catalyst 2 produces higher mean yield than catalyst 1? use alpha = 0.01. (b) find a 99% confidence interval on the difference in mean yields that can be used to test the claim in part (a). (e. g. 98.76). mu_1 - mu_2 lessthanorequalto the tolerance is +/-2%

The average hourly earnings for a construction worker is projected to be $24.50 in 2012. jason wants to join the construction work force after he graduates in 2012. his friend tells him that average hourly earnings for construction workers will rise by 2% from 2009 to 2012. based on the data below, assuming that the projected hourly earnings are correct, is jason’s friend’s statement accurate? construction industry - average hourly earnings, 2000-2009 a. his friend’s statement is accurate. the average hourly earnings will increase by 2%. b. his friend’s statement is not accurate. the percent increase will be more than 2% c. his friend’s statement is not accurate. the percent increase will be less than 2% d. his friend’s statement is not accurate. the average hourly earnings will decrease

Igure 1 and figure 2 are two congruent parallelograms drawn on a coordinate grid as shown below: 4 quadrant coordinate grid showing two parallelograms. figure 1 has vertices at negative 5, 2 and negative 3, 4 and negative 4, 7 and negative 6, 5. figure 2 has vertices at 5, negative 2 and 7, negative 4 and 6, negative 7 and 4, negative 5. which two transformations can map figure 1 onto figure 2? reflection across the y-axis, followed by reflection across x-axis reflection across the x-axis, followed by reflection across y-axis reflection across the x-axis, followed by translation 10 units right reflection across the y-axis, followed by translation 5 units down
