Based on the information from Consumer Reports, a random sample of 86 thirty-gram servings of Duncan Hines Chocolate Chip Cookies had a sample means of 132 calories with a sample standard deviation of 27 calories. A random sample of 75 Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chip Cookies has a sample mean of 124 calories with sample standard deviation of 33 calories. Build an 80% confidence interval for the true mean difference in calories for these two cookie brands.

Answer from: gamallopatty

$(132-124) -1.287 \sqrt{\frac{27^2}{86} +\frac{33^2}{75}}= 1.828$

$(132-124) +1.287 \sqrt{\frac{27^2}{86} +\frac{33^2}{75}}= 14.172$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expresseda % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

For this case we have the following info given:

$\bar X_1 = 132$ mean for Duncan Hines Chocolate Chip Cookies

n_1 =86 represent the sample size for Duncan Hines Chocolate Chip Cookies

s_1 = 27 represent the deviation for Duncan Hines Chocolate Chip Cookies

$\bar X_2 = 124$ mean for Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chip Cookies

n_2 =75 represent the sample size for Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chip Cookies

s_2 = 33 represent the deviation for Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chip Cookies

Solution to the problem

The degrees of freedom for this case are:

df = n_1 +n_2 -2 = 86+75-2=159

Since the Confidence is 0.80 or 80%, the value of $\alpha=0.2$ and $\alpha/2 =0.1$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.1,159)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=1.287$

The confidence interval is given by:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{2}}$

And replacing we got:

$(132-124) -1.287 \sqrt{\frac{27^2}{86} +\frac{33^2}{75}}= 1.828$

$(132-124) +1.287 \sqrt{\frac{27^2}{86} +\frac{33^2}{75}}= 14.172$

So confused right here i need it to be more clearer

Answer from: Quest

a, b, c, d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we have g(x) = 3 $\sqrt{x}$ and are required to find which option is a translation of g(x).

now, 'translation' is a transformation which means to shift the function in any direction and the general form of translation is g(x) + k, where k is any real number.

so, according to the options we see that all are correct as they satisfy the general form of translation.

also, it can be seen from the graph below that the function g(x) = 3 $\sqrt{x}$ is shifted from its position in all the four options.

Kayla wants to find the width, ab, of a river. she walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point c. then she walks 25 ft further and marks point d. she turns 90° and walks until her location, point a, and point c are collinear. she marks point e at this location, as shown. (a) can kayla conclude that δ and δ are similar? why or why not? (b) suppose de = 15 ft. what can kayla conclude about the width of the river?
