An article presents the results of a study in which the weights of 295 eggs from 27-week-old breeding hens averaged 54.1 g with a standard deviation of 4.4 g, and weights of 295 eggs from 59-week-old hens averaged 72.7 g with a standard deviation of 4.7 g. Let μX represent the population mean weight for 59-week-old hens and let μY represent the population mean weight for 27-week-old hens. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference μX−μY . Round the answers to three decimal places. The 95% confidence interval is ( , ).

2. In this problem, you are going to see just how quickly the Sun uses up nuclear energy in its core. a. Four hydrogen atoms (total mass = 6.7x10-27 kg) fuse to produce one helium atom (mass 6.6x10-27 ). If one gm of hydrogen is burned in the Sun into helium, how much energy will be produced? b. The Sun has luminosity of 4x1026 Joules per second. It has mass of 2x1030kg. Three quarters of the Suns mass is hydrogen. Make a rough estimate of the maximum time the Sun could shine at its present luminosity by burning hydrogen into helium.

Consider a study that compares the Atkins diet to a conventional diet. A study at the University of Pennsylvania selected a sample of 63 subjects from the local population of obese adults. Researchers randomly assigned 33 to the Atkins diet and 30 subjects to a conventional diet. Test whether there is a significant difference in the mean weight loss (measured in pounds) across the two different diet programs.

I previously asked this question and when I put the data in excel, the numbers did not come out like the example. Please help. Thanks
Using software:
b. Conduct a test of significance for the difference between the mean weight across the different diet programs. Be sure to show the output from the software and interpret the results.
c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference parameter in mean weight lost and make an interpretation.
d. Finally, are there any other factors, besides the type of diet, that could possibly influence weight loss (identify at least 2)? Include a brief explanation of each.

The Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2012 Fuel Economy Guide provides fuel efficiency data for 2012 model year cars and trucks.† The file named CarMileage provides a portion of the data for 309 cars. The column labeled Size identifies the size of the car (Compact, Midsize, and Large) and the column labeled Hwy MPG shows the fuel efficiency rating for highway driving in terms of miles per gallon. Use α = 0.05 and test for any significant difference in the mean fuel efficiency rating for highway driving among the three sizes of cars. (Hint: you will need to re-organize the data to create indicator variables for the qualitative data).
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: β1 =
β2 = 0
Ha: One or more of the parameters is not equal
to zero.
Find the value of the test statistic for the overall model. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value for the overall model. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Write a C++ program to simulate a service desk. This service desk should be able to service customers that can have one of three different priorities (high, medium, and low). The duration for any customer is a random number (between 5 minutes and 8 minutes). You need to write a program that will do the following:
Tips: Use a loop that will process 100 times, se each service request as an index for the queue, declare random numbers to generate priorities and service times, 5-8 for service, 1-3 for priority, generate 2 deques: one for service, 1 for priority, use push_front(high) and push_front(low) to add values to the deque, for medium priority use size()/2 to find the missle position of the deque using insert(name.insert(position, value).

The vice president of sales for Blasterman Cosmetics, Inc. believes that 40% of the company’s orders come from customers who are less than 30 years old. A random sample of 10,000 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of customers who are less than 30 years old.
Assume that the vice president of sales is correct and P=40. What is the sampling distribution of P-bar for this study?
What is the probability that the sample proportion will be between .37 and .43?
What is the probability that the sample proportion will be between .39 and .41?
What would you conclude if the sample proportion is .36?
