It is known that a particular laboratory task takes the average person 2.5 seconds. A researcher was interested in whether older people are slower (take longer) on this task. The researcher tested 30 randomly selected 80-year-olds. Their meantime was 2.7 seconds, with an estimated population standard deviation of 1.4 seconds. What should the researcher conclude (use the .05 level)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

 The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is

 There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that older people are slower

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The average time taken is  [tex]\mu = 2.5 \ seconds[/tex]

      The  sample size is  [tex]n = 30[/tex]

     The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 2.7 \ seconds[/tex]

      The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 1.4 \ seconds[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o: \mu = 2.5[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis  is  [tex]H_a : \mu > 2.5 \ seconds[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

                [tex]z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>              [tex]z = \frac{ 2.7 -2.5 }{ \frac{1.4}{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]

=>              [tex]z = 0.7825[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to  0.7825   is  

                [tex]p-value = P(Z > 0.7825 ) = 0.21696[/tex]

So from the question we see that the [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] hence

 The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

  The conclusion is

 There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that older people are slower

Adults in Turkey have mean caloric intake of 3500 calories per day (Wikipedia) with a standard deviation of 500 calories. A sample of 25 Ankara University students has an average intake of 3400 calories per day. Is this enough evidence to conclude that Ankara U. students average is not 3500 calories per day? Assume the distribution is normal.
A. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
B. What is the value of the test statistic?
C. Specify the rejection region?
D. State the conclusion.

Answers

Answer:

A) Null hypothesis; H0: μ = 3500

Alternative hypothesis;Ha μ ≠ 3500

B) t = -1

C) the rejection region will be;

p-value < 0.05

D) Conclusion is that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that Ankara U. students average is not 3500 calories per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Population mean; μ = 3500

Population standard deviation; σ = 500

Sample mean; x¯ = 3400

Sample size; n = 25

We want to find enough evidence to conclude that Ankara U. students average is not 3500 calories per day.

Thus, the hypothesis is defined as;

A) Null hypothesis; H0: μ = 3500

Alternative hypothesis;Ha μ ≠ 3500

B) sample size is less than 30, thus we will use a t-test.

Formula for the test statistic is;

t = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

t = (3400 - 3500)/(500/√25)

t = -100/(500/5)

t = -1

C) since the sample is small, let's assume a significance level of 0.05.

Thus,the rejection region will be;

p-value < 0.05

D) from online p-value from t-score calculator attached using;

t = - 1; DF = 25 - 1 = 24; significance level = 0.05 and two tailed hypothesis, we have;

p-value ≈ 0.3273

This is greater than the significance value of 0.05.

Thus, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that Ankara U. students average is not 3500 calories per day.

D. g=0; h=1

E. g=−1; h=0

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

They are both negative and that helps it.

Hope this helps!!!

The  values of g and h to make the expression g×h negative are g=−1; h=1 and g=1; h=−1.

What is Expression?

An expression is combination of variables, numbers and operators.

The given expression is g×h where g and h are real numbers

The expression g×h is negative when either g or h is negative.

Since multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number

The only way for the expression to be negative is if one of the numbers is negative and the other is positive.

So when g=−1 and h=1

The expression  g×h = -1×1 = -1.

when g=1 and h=-1

The expression  g×h = 1×-1 = -1.

Hence,  g=−1; h=1 and g=1; h=−1 are the  values of g and h to make the expression g×h negative

Given ac=46 and the picture above

1.find x
2.find ab
3.find bc

I will give brainlist

Answers

Answer:

x = 5, AB = 27, BC = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram

AB + BC = AC , substitute values

4x + 7 + 3x + 4 = 46 , that is

7x + 11 = 46 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

7x = 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 5

Thus

AB = 4x + 7 = 4(5) + 7 = 20 + 7 = 27

BC = 3x + 4 = 3(5) + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

Answer:

1. x = 5

2. AB= 27

3. BC = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for X:

The entire segment is 46. Parts AB and BC make up the whole thing. So, to find x, add both expressions and set them equal to 46.

4x+7+3x+4=46 (combine like terms)

7x+11=46 (subtract 11 from both sides)

7x = 35 (divide by 7)

x = 5

Finding AB:

Plug 5 in for x and evaluate the expression.

4(5)+7

20 + 7= 20

AB is 27

Finding BC:

Plug in 5 for x and evaluate the expression.

3(5)+4

15+ 4=19

Check your work.

Add the values of AB and BC to make sure they add up to 46, which is AC.

27 + 19 = 46, so this is correct.
