Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

1. In 1955, Life Magazine reported that a 25-year-old mother of 3 children, worked an average of 80 hours each week. Recently, some researchers have been studying whether the women’s movement has resulted in an increase in the work week hours for women (combining employment and at-home work). A study was done to find out if the mean work week has, in fact, increased. A random sample of 81 women were surveyed and the mean was 83 hours with a standard deviation of 10. Using a 95% confidence level, does the sample data support the researcher’s claim that the average number of weekly hours that women work, is greater than 80? a.

The owner of a chain of mini-markets has two stores, Store 1 and Store 2, in one city. She recently added a breakfast station in Store 1 and wants to determine if the mean daily sales of Store 1 is greater than the mean daily sales of Store 2. After choosing 12 days at random, she records the sales (in dollars) at Store 1 for these days. Then, she records the sales at Store 2 for these same days.

They conduct a study to see which one of them is correct. They sample the weights of ten dogs of each breed. The data are as follows: German Shepherds: 55, 72, 61, 43, 59, 70, 67, 49, 55, 63 Huskies: 48, 77, 46, 51, 60, 44, 53, 61, 52, 41 (a) Should a one-tailed or two-tailed test be conducted? Why?

Education influences attitude and lifestyle. Differences in education are a big factor in the "generation gap." Is the younger generation really better educated?

Large surveys of young adults (age 25 - 34) were taken in n2 = 37 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x2 = 18.1% of the young adults had attended college. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 6.4% and ?2 = 4.8%. Does this information indicate that the population mean percentage of young adults who attended college is higher? Use ? = 0.05.

Many people like to play app based games on their mobile devices. Suppose we would like to estimate the average amount of time (in hours) per week students have played an app-based game on their mobile device at CSU Stan. In order to do this, we take a random sample of 20 students and ask them how many hours they have played an app- based game in the last week. The following data were collected: 11 4 5.5 5.5 7 6.2 10 10 7.5 6 7 7.5 2.5 Which of the following is the correct 99% confidence interval for the estimate of the average number of hours (per week) that all CSU Stan students have played an app- based game?
