A paint manufacturer made a modification to a paint to speed up its drying time. Independent simple random samples of 11 cans of type A (the original paint) and 9 cans of type B (the modified paint) were selected and applied to similar surfaces. The drying times, in hours, were recorded. The following 98% confidence interval was obtained for μ1 - μ2, the difference between the mean drying time for paint cans of type A and the mean drying time for paint cans of type B: 4.90 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 17.50 hrs
What does the confidence interval suggest about the population means?

A. The confidence interval includes 0 which suggests that the two population means might be equal. There​ doesn't appear to be a significant difference between the mean drying time for paint type A and the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification does not seem to be effective in reducing drying times.
B. The confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is greater than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification seems to be effective in reducing drying times.
C. The confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the two population means might be equal. There​ doesn't appear to be a significant difference between the mean drying time for paint type A and the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification does not seem to be effective in reducing drying times.
D. The confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is smaller than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification does not seem to be effective in reducing drying times.

Answer:

This question is not complete, I got the complete one from google as below:

A paint manufacturer made a modification to a paint to speed up its drying time. Independent simple random samples of 11 cans of type A (the original paint) and 9 cans of type B (the modified paint) were selected and applied to similar surfaces. The drying times, in hours, were recorded.

The summary statistics are as follows.

Type A                                   Type B

x1 = 76.3 hrs                       x2 = 65.1 hrs

s1 = 4.5 hrs                          s2 = 5.1 hrs

n1 = 11                                  n2 = 9

The following 98% confidence interval was obtained for μ1 - μ2, the difference between the mean drying time for paint cans of type A and the mean drying time for paint cans of type B:

4.90 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 17.50 hrs

What does the confidence interval suggest about the population means?

A. The confidence interval includes 0 which suggests that the two population means might be equal. There​ doesn't appear to be a significant difference between the mean drying time for paint type A and the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification does not seem to be effective in reducing drying times.

B. The confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is greater than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification seems to be effective in reducing drying times.

C. The confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the two population means might be equal. There​ doesn't appear to be a significant difference between the mean drying time for paint type A and the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification does not seem to be effective in reducing drying times.

D. The confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is smaller than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification does not seem to be effective in reducing drying times.

Answer:

Option B is correct - the confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is greater than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification seems to be effective in reducing drying times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean drying times of the two types of paints is (4.90, 17.50). This implies that Type A takes between 4.90 and 17.50 hours more to dry than type B paint.

Thus, option B is correct - the confidence interval includes only positive values which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is greater than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification seems to be effective in reducing drying times.

Answer:

(B) Centers: The crocodiles have a greater median length than the alligators

(C) Spreads: The lengths of the alligators are more spread out

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram. Find attached the diagram used in solving the question

Centers: this is the median of the distribution

Spread: this is the variation of the data distribution. The range can be used to find the spread. If the range is large, the spread is larger and If the range is small, the spread is smaller.

Range = highest value - lowest value

From the diagram:

Median of crocodile = 17

Median of the alligator = 9

Therefore, for Centers: The crocodiles have a greater median length than the alligators (option B)

Spread for crocodile data = from 15 to 19

Range = 19-15 = 4

Spread for alligator data = from 7 to 15

Range = 15-7 = 8

For Spreads: The lengths of the alligators are more spread out.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate (a) the number of milligrams of metoclopramide HCl in each milliliter of the prescription:Metoclopramide HCl 10 g

Methylparaben 50 mg

Propylparaben 20 mg

NaCl 800 mg

Purifed water qs ad 100 mL

Answers

Answer:

There are 100 milligrams of metoclopramide HCl in each milliliter of the prescription

Step-by-step explanation:

When the prescription says Purified water qs ad 100 mL means that if we were to make this, we should add the quantities given and then, fill it up with water until we have 100 mL of solution, being the key words qs ad, meaning sufficient quantity to get the amount of mixture given.

Then, knowing there is 10 grams of metoclopramide HCl per 100 mL of prescription, that means there is (1 gram = 1000 milligrams) 10000 milligrams of metoclopramide HCl per 100 mL of prescription. That is a concentration given in a mass/volume way.

Knowing the concentration, we can calculate it per mL instead of per 100 mL

Concentration_(metoclopramide HCL)= (10000mg)/(100mL) =100 (mg)/(mL)
