Jana earns $25 per week for mowing the lawn and deposits the money into her savings account. The amount of money in Jana’s accou
1 answer:
The y-intercept indicates the starting amount of money Jana has in her account.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line equation is given by . Here, Jana earns $
each week, and
represents the weeks she has been employed. By substituting the week
into the equation
, we can determine the y-intercept, which reflects how much money Jana had prior to earning from mowing lawns.

Hello! You need to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean lifespan between two tire brands. Each tested car was assigned one tire from each brand randomly on the rear wheels, allowing for paired sample analysis.
Brand 1 Brand 2 X₁-X₂
car 1: 36,925; 34,318; 2.607
car 2: 45,300; 42,280; 3.020
car 3: 36,240; 35,500; 0.740
car 4: 32,100; 31,950; 0.150
car 5: 37,210; 38,015; -0.0805
car 6: 48,360; 47,800; 1.160
car 7: 38,200; 37,810; 0.390
car 8: 33,500; 33,215; 0.285
n= 8
The study variable is defined as Xd= X₁-X₂, where X₁ represents the tire lifespan (in km) from Brand 1 and X₂ represents Brand 2. Thus, Xd is the difference in tire lifespan.
Xd~N(μd;δd²) (normality test p-value is 0.4640).
For calculating the confidence interval, the best statistic is the Student's t using the following formula:
t= (xd[bar] - μd)/(Sd/√n) ~t₍ₙ₋₁₎
sample mean: xd[bar]= 0.94
standard deviation: Sd= 1.29
= 3.355
xd[bar] ± 
*(Sd/√n) ⇒ 0.94 ± 3.355*(1.29/√8)
[-0.65;2.54]km.
The CI can be compared to bilateral hypothesis testing:
H₀:μd=0
H₁:μd≠0
using significance level of 0.01.
Since the confidence interval includes zero, we do not reject the null hypothesis, indicating no significant difference between the tire brands.
Hope you have a fantastic day!
