A procurement specialist has purchased 26 resistors from vendor 1 and 28 resistors from vendor 2. Let X1,1, X1,2,..,X26 represent the vendor 1 observed resistances, which are assumed to be normally and independently distributed with mean 100 ohms and standard deviation 1.6 ohms. Similarly, let X2.1,X2.2,...,X28 represent the vendor 2 observed resistances, which are assumed to be normally and independently distributed with mean 106 ohms and standard deviation of 2.0 ohms. What is the sampling distribution of X1 - X2 ?What is the standard error of X1 - X2 ? The sampling distribution of X1 –X2 is N(µx,-X, = i (Round the second answer to four decimal places.)

Suppose that a group of researchers is planning to test a new weight loss supplement. They have selected a random sample of 45 people who are trying to lose weight and plan to measure the amount of weight lost after one month of using the supplement. Assume that the researchers know from prior experiments that the standard deviation of weight lost in one month, , is 1.7 lb. To show that the supplement is effective, they plan to use a one-sample z‑test of Ho : u= 0lb against H1 : u > 0lb , where is the mean amount of weight lost in one month. They have also determined that, for a test with a significance level of 0.05, the power of the test is 0.9347 if the mean amount of weight lost is actually 0.8 lb. What is the probability that the researchers will reject their null hypothesis if the mean amount of weight lost is 0.8 lb or more? Give your answer as a percentage, precise to two decimal places.
