A random sample of 87 eighth grade students’ scores on a national mathematics assessment

1 answer:

8 0

There is not enough evidence to support the administrator’s claim and the true mean is not significantly greater than 280.

<h3>What is a statistical hypothesis?</h3>

A hypothesis to test the given parameters requires that we determine if the mean score of the eighth graders is more than 283, thus:

The null hypothesis:

$\mathbf{H_o \leq 283}$

The alternative hypothesis:

$\mathbf{H_i > 283}$

From the population deviation, the Z test for the true mean can be computed as:

$\mathbf{Z = \dfrac{\hat X - \mu _o}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}}$

$\mathbf{Z = \dfrac{283 -280}{\dfrac{37}{\sqrt{87}}}}$

Z = 0.756

Note that, since we are carrying out a right-tailed test, the p-value for the test statistics is expressed as follows:

P(z > 0.756)

P = 0.225

Since the P-value is greater than the significance level at α = 0.14, we can conclude that there is not enough evidence to support the administrator’s claim and the true mean is not significantly greater than 280.

Help please: A bus and a train leave a station at the same time, t = 0. The graph shows the bus's distance to the next station o

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

y = (5/2)x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bus and train are both at the station at time 0, the y-intercept for the new equation is 20. That is one point on the new graph: (0,20) The question said that the train travels faster, that means it spends less time getting to the next station. The existing graph shows the bus got to the next station in 10 minutes, so maybe the train got there in 8 minutes. So another point on the graph is (8,0) We can use a slope formula to calculate the slope of a new line. Or just count squares on the graph (se image) to find the slope. Slope tells how steep a line is, whether the line is going up or down, but also the slope is like directions how to get from one point to another point on the line.

All you need to write an equation is the slope, m and the y-intercept, b and fill those two numbers into the formula y=mx+b Here slope is 5/2 and y-intercept is 20. So you get

y=(5/2)x +20
