The air in poultry-processing plants often contains fungus spores. Inadequate ventilation can affect the health of the workers. The problem is most serious during the summer. To measure the presence of spores, air samples are pumped to an agar plate and "colony-forming units (CFUs)" are counted after an incubation period. Here are data from two locations in a plant that processes 37,000 turkeys per day, taken on four days in the summer. The units are CFUs per cubic meter of air. Day Day 2 Day 3 Day 4

The spore count is clearly higher in the kill room. Give sample means and a 99% confidence interval to estimate how much higher the spore count is in the kill room?

-611.031 < μd < 4260.031

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a matched pair design :

Day1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4

x1 Kill room 3175 2526 1763 1090

x2 Processing 529 141 362 224

First we obtain the difference, d ;

d = (x1 - x2)

d = 2646, 2385, 1401, 866

The mean difference, dbar = Σd/ n = 7298 / 4 = 1824.5

The standard deviation of difference,

Sd = √(Σx-dbar)²

Using calculator, Sd = 834.086

The 99% confidence interval :

Mean ± margin of error

dbar ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Tcritical * Sd/√n

Tcritical at 99%, df = n-1 ; df = 4-1 = 3

Tcritical = 5.84

Margin of Error = 5.84 * 834.086/√4 = 2435.53112

Confidence interval = 1824.5 ± 2435.53112

(-611.031 ; 4260.031)

step-by-step explanation:

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
