A set of 12 numbers has an arithmetic mean of 20. if the numbers 10 and 14 are removed from the set, what is the arithmetic mean of the 10 numbers remaining in the set?

For a set of positive numbers $$x_{1},\ x_{2},\ \cdots,\ X_{n}$$, the arithmetic mean is given as $$\text{Arithmetic Mean}=\ \frac{x_{1}\ +\ x_{2}\ +\ \cdots\ +\ x_{n}}{n}$$ Now, set of 12 numbers which includes 10 and 14 has an arithmetic mean of 20. Let x be the sum of the remaining 10 numbers. $$AM =\ \frac{x\ +\ 10\ +\ 14}{12} = 20$$
$$\frac{x\ +\ 24}{12}=20$$
$$x=240\ -\ 24=216$$ Now, we find the arithmetic mean of the remaining 10 numbers whose sum is 216. $$\therefore\ \frac{x}{10}=\ \frac{216}{10}=21.6$$

A random sample of $$n_1 = 14$$ winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index $$x_1 = 43$$.
Previous studies show that $$\sigma_1 = 19$$.
For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of $$n_2 = 12$$ winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of $$x_2 = 37$$.
Previous studies show that $$\sigma_2 = 13$$.
Assume the pollution index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver.
(a) State the null and alternate hypotheses.
$$H_0:\mu_1=\mu_2.\mu_1>\mu_2$$
$$H_0:\mu_1<\mu_2.\mu_1=\mu_2$$
$$H_0:\mu_1=\mu_2.\mu_1<\mu_2$$

(e) Based on your answers in parts (i)−(iii), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level \alpha?
At the $$\alpha = 0.01$$ level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
At the $$\alpha = 0.01$$ level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
At the $$\alpha = 0.01$$ level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
At the $$\alpha = 0.01$$ level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(f) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that there is a difference in mean pollution index for Englewood and Denver.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that there is a difference in mean pollution index for Englewood and Denver.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that there is a difference in mean pollution index for Englewood and Denver.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that there is a difference in mean pollution index for Englewood and Denver. (g) Find a 99% confidence interval for
$$\mu_1 - \mu_2$$.

upper limit
(h) Explain the meaning of the confidence interval in the context of the problem.
Because the interval contains only positive numbers, this indicates that at the 99% confidence level, the mean population pollution index for Englewood is greater than that of Denver.
Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, this indicates that at the 99% confidence level, we can not say that the mean population pollution index for Englewood is different than that of Denver.
Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, this indicates that at the 99% confidence level, the mean population pollution index for Englewood is greater than that of Denver.
Because the interval contains only negative numbers, this indicates that at the 99% confidence level, the mean population pollution index for Englewood is less than that of Denver.

Prove the Arithmetic-Geometric Mean Inequality If $$\displaystyle{a}_{{1}}{a}_{{2}},\ldots,{a}_{{n}}$$ are nonnegative numbers, then their arithmetic mean is $$\displaystyle{\frac{{{a}_{{1}}+{a}_{{2}}+\ldots+{a}_{{n}}}}{{{n}}}},$$ and their geometric . The avthmetic-geometic mean is $$\displaystyle\sqrt{{{n}}}{\left\lbrace{a}_{{1}},{a}_{{2}},\ldots{a}_{{n}}\right\rbrace}.$$ The arithmetic-geometric mean equality states that the geometric mean is always less than or equal to the arithmetic mean. In this problem we prove this in the case of two numbers andy.
