An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.

A30 kg weight lies on top of a massless piston of area a = 0.01 m2 the exterior air is at a (constant) p =1 atm and t = 27 c. the interior gas is 0.4 moles of (ideal) n2 and it has initial temperature 27.00 degrees c. 1. what is the initial pressure in the interior? a. 29.4 kpa b. 130.7 kpa c. 101.3 kpa the next three questions concern what happens when an amount of heat q is slowly added to the interior, raising the piston by 1 mm and raising the interior temperature to 27.40 c
