An education researcher would like to test whether 2nd graders retain or lose knowledge during the summer when they are presumably not in school. She asks nine 2nd graders to take a comprehension exam at the end of the school year (May), and then asks those same students to come back after the summer (late August) to retake a different but equivalent exam, to see if their level of comprehension has changed. Using the data below, test this hypothesis using an alpha level of .05.

a) What is the appropriate test? Is it a one or two tailed test?
b) State the null hypothesis (in words and using means).
c) State the alternative hypothesis (in words and using means).
d) Find the critical value.
e) Calculate the obtained value by hand. What does your decision mean?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See step by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we understand that we need to investigate if 2nd graders RETAIN OR LOSE knowledge comparing information concerning two different months, therefore we are going to find out if the information gives us enough evidence of a difference in the two groups

a) The test should be a two tail-test

Sample sizes are small ( n₁ = n₂  = 9 ) which means we have to use  t-student test

b   and    c) Test Hypothesis:

For Null Hypothesis H₀,  we establish that the two means are equal, which in this case means that the two samples´ means are equal. And as Hypothesis alternative Hₐ that the H₀ is not true,  or that the samples mean are different.

Null Hypothesis     H₀             x₁  -  x₂   = 0   or    x₁  =  x₂

Alternative Hypothesis  Hₐ    x₁  -  x₂   ≠  0   or   x₁  ≠  x₂

d) Significance level α  = 0,05   then   α/2  = 0,025

then t(c)  with  α/2  =  0,025  and degree of freedom  

df =  n₁  +  n₂  - 2      df =  9 + 9 -2     df = 16

From t s-tudent table we find     t(c) =  2,12

e) Calculating:

x₁   and  σ₁

x₂  and  σ₂

σₓ  = [ ( n₁ - 1 )* σ₁² + ( n₂  - 1 )*σ₂² ]/ n₁ + n₂ - 2

Using a calculator:

x₁  =  77,11        σ₁  = 13,86

x₂  = 85,89      σ₂  = 12,74

σₓ  = [ ( 8*(13,86)² + 8*( 12,74 )² ] / 16

σₓ  =  (8* 192,1) + 8* ( 162,31) / 16

σₓ  = (1536,8 + 1298,48 ) / 16

σₓ  =  177,205

t(s) = ( x₁ - x₂ ) /√ σₓ²/ n₁  + σₓ²/ n₂

t(s) = ( 77,11 - 85,89 )/ (177,205)²/n₁ + (177,205)²/n₂

t(s) = - 8,78 / √3489,07 + 3489,07

t(s) = -8,78 / 83,54

t(s) =  - 0,11

Comparing  t(s) and  t(c)

|t(s)| < |t(c)|      

0,11 <  2,12

t(s) is in the acceptance region. We accept H₀

A grocer wants to mix two kinds of coffee. One kind sells for $0.85 per pound, and the other sells for $2.70
per pound. He wants to mix a total of 21 pounds and sell it for $0.95 per pound. How many pounds of
each kind should he use in the new mix? (Round off the answers to the nearest hundredth.)

Answers

Answer:

x = $0.85 per pound = 19.85 pounds

y = $2.70 per pound = 1.14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = $0.85 per pound

y = $2.70 per pound

x + y = 21 (1)

0.85x + 2.70y = 19.95 (2)

From (1)

x = 21 - y

Substitute x = 21 - y into (2)

0.85x + 2.70y = 19.95 (2)

0.85(21 - y) + 2.70y = 19.95

17.85 - 0.85y + 2.70y = 19.95

- 0.85y + 2.70y = 19.95 - 17.85

1.85y = 2.1

y = 2.1 / 1.85

y = 1.14

Substitute y = 1.14 into (2)

0.85x + 2.70y = 19.95

0.85x + 2.70(1.14) = 19.95

0.85x + 3.078 = 19.95

0.85x = 19.95 - 3.078

0.85x = 16.872

x = 16.872 / 0.85

x = 19.85

x = $0.85 per pound = 19.85 pounds

y = $2.70 per pound = 1.14 pounds

The Louvre pyramid in Paris is built of glass panes. The top row has 4 glass panes, and each row after it has 4 more panes than the previous row. How many panes of glass are in the 16th row?

Answers

Answer:

Number of glass panel in 16th row = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of glass panel in first row = 4

Each next row added number of glass panel = 4

Find:

Number of glass panel in 16th row

Computation:

An = a + [n-1]d

An = given term = A16

a = first term = 4

n = number of term = 15

d = Common difference = 4

An = a + [n-1]d

An = 4 + [16-1]4

An = 4 + [15]4

An = 4 + 60

An = 64

Number of glass panel in 16th row = 64

We are given that;

The angles between the lines

Now,

To find the value of x, you need to use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°1. This means that:

30° + (3x)° + (-40)° = 180°

Simplifying, we get:

(3x)° - 10° = 180°

Adding 10° to both sides, we get:

(3x)° = 190°

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

x = 190/3

Therefore, by algebra the answer will be 190/3 or 63.33.

C. Not symmetric; not bell-shaped.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a symmetric data distribution, the shape on the left side is almost the same as the shape on the right side of the middle. In this type of data distribution, if different measure of centers are calculated (mean, median, and mode), they will have a similar figures that are close together. Symmetric distributions are bell-shaped.

On the other hand, if the data distribution is not symetric, it means the left and the right side of the distribution are not equal and do not have the same shape.

a firm has ebit of 1,000,000 and depreciation expense of 400,000. fixed charges total 600,000. interest expense totals 70,000. what is the firm cash coverage ratio. ​

Answers

Answer:

The firm's fixed-charge coverage ratio is 7.89 times

Explanation:

Fixed charge coverage ratio : This ratio deals with fixed payments like: interest payments, lease payments which is before earning before income and taxes.

The formula to compute the fixed charge coverage ratio is shown below:

= (EBIT + Fixed charges) ÷ (Fixed charges + interest expense)

= ($400,000 + $50,000) ÷ ($50,000 + $7,000)

= $450,000 ÷ $57,000

= 7.89 times

The total of fixed charge include depreciation expense also. Thus it would not be taken into computation part.

Hence, the firm's fixed-charge coverage ratio is 7.89 times

Given the set of integers 1 − 20 , what is the probability of selecting a number that is divisible by 7 ?

Answers

Answer 1/10=0.1

There are two numbers from 1-20 that are divisible by 7 (7 and 14). 2/20 reduces to 1/10. This can be represented as a decimal (0.1), but it is usually a fraction(1/10).

The probability of selecting a number that is divisible by 7 is [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex].

What is probability?

Probability deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event.

It measures the chance of an event happening and is equal to the number of favorable events divided by the total number of events.

The value of probability ranges between 0 and 1, where 0 denotes uncertainty and 1 denotes certainty.

Given

Set of integers = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20

The probability of selecting a number that is divisible by 7 :

We all know the 7 multiples less than 20 : 7, 14

There are 2 numbers that are divisible by 7 in the set of integers 1 - 20

Therefore, Number of favorable outcomes n(E) = 2

Total number favorable outcomes n(S) = 20

Probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to total number of favorable outcomes.

[tex]P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]P(E) = \frac{2}{20} =\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
