Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 7 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at ru

ral hospitals have a lower waiting time? The 13 randomly selected patients who went to the emergency room at rural hospitals waited an average of 6.3 hours to be admitted into the hospital. The standard deviation for these 13 patients was 1.3 hours. What can be concluded at the the

  1. For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by H₀: μ = 7 and H₁: μ < 7.
  2. The test statistic is -1.941 and the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01.
  3. Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.
  4. Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.

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

A null hypothesis (H₀) can be defined the opposite of an alternate hypothesis (H₁) and it asserts that two (2) possibilities are the same.

<h3>How to calculate value of the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistics can be calculated by using this formula:

t=\frac{x\;-\;u}{\frac{\delta}{\sqrt{n} } }

<u>Where:</u>

  • x is the sample mean.
  • u is the mean.
  • is the standard deviation.
  • n is the number of hours.

For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by:

H₀: μ = 7

H₁: μ < 7

t=\frac{6.3\;-\;7}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{13} } }\\\\t=\frac{-0.7}{\frac{1.3}{3.6056 } }

t = -0.7/0.3606

t = -1.941.

For the p-value, we have:

P-value = P(t < -1.9412)

P-value = 0.0381.

Therefore, the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01. Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.

Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.

1: 80% The reason why is because if you do 4/5, you get .80, move the decimals to places to the right, and you get 80%

2: 95% Process of Elimination, and Educated Guess.

3: 33 1/3% If you do 50/150, you get 0.33333... Like I said, move the decimal point two places to the right, and you get 33.33...%

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<em>630 cups</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

This problem is most easily solved backward, i.e., from the final data up to the beginning.

There was a new box of cups and the worker at a snack stand opened it. He first used 30 cups from the box and the second day he uses 15% of the remaining cups in the box, and we are told that represents 90 cups.

If 15% (0.15) equals 90 cups, then the number of cups before the second day was 90/0.15 = 600 cups.

On the first day, we used 30 cups, thus the original number of cups in the box was 600+30=630 cups

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

a). y = \frac{6}{x}

x        0.5                1            2            3            4              5             6

y       \frac{6}{0.5}=12      \frac{6}{1}=6      \frac{6}{2}=3      \frac{6}{3}=2     \frac{6}{4}=1.5     \frac{6}{5}=1.2     \frac{6}{6}=1

b). By plotting the input-output values on the graph we get the curve as shown in option C.

Therefore, Option C will be the answer.
