An economist at Vanderbilt University devised a study to compare different types of online auctions. In one experiment he compar

ed a Dutch auction to a first-place sealed bid auction. In the Dutch auction the item for sale starts at a very high price and is lowered gradually until someone finds the price low enough to buy. In the first-price sealed bid auction each bidder submits a single sealed bid before a particular deadline. After the deadline, the person with the highest bid wins. The researcher auctioned off collectible trading cards from the game Magic: The Gathering. He placed pairs of identical cards up for auction; one would go into Dutch auction and the other to the first-price sealed bid auction. He then looked at the difference in the prices he received on the pair. He repeated this for a total of 88 pairs.
[a] Explained why the data should be analyzed using paired samples as opposed to two independent samples.
[b] What makes a pair?
[c] What is the explanatory variable? Is it categorical or quantitative?
[d] What is the response variable? Is it categorical or quantitative?
[e] State the relevant hypotheses in words:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
[f] Define the parameter of interest and give the symbol that should be assigned to it.
[g] State the relevant hypotheses in symbols (using a parameter):
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
[h] Assume the p-value is 0.17 (write a conclusion).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The data should be analyzed using paired samples because the economist made two measurements (samples) drawn from the same pair of identical cards. Each data point in one sample is uniquely paired to a data point in the second sample.

b. A pair is made up of two identical cards where one would go into Dutch auction and the other to the first-price sealed bid auction.

c. The explanatory variables are the types of online auction which are the Dutch auction and the first price sealed bid auction. The explanation variable here is categorical: the Dutch auction and the first price sealed bid auction.

d. The response variable which is also known as the outcome variable is prices for the 2 different auction for each pair of identical cards. This variable is quantitative.

e. Null Hypothesis in words: There is no difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.

Alternative hypothesis: There is a difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.

f. The parameter of interest in this case is the mean prices of pairs of identical cards for both auction and is assigned p.

g. Null hypothesis: p(dutch) = p(first-price sealed auction)

Alternative hypothesis: p(dutch) =/ p(first-price sealed auction)

h. Assuming the p-value is 0.17 at an assed standard 0.05 significance level, our conclusion would be to fail to reject the null hypothesis as 0.17 is greater than 0.05 or even 0.01 and we can conclude that, there is no statistically significant evidence to prove that there is a difference in the prices obtained in the two different online auction.

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

The power increases by 21% per hour. 21% written as a decimal is 0.21.

Because it increases you would multiply the starting value by 1.21 times the number of hours (t).

That needs to be less than or equal to 100,00

The equation would be:

C: 15,040(1.21)t ≤ 100,000

Explain how a number and it's reciprocal are related adding 28 ?
asambeis [7]
<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.

Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.

Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.





Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form </span>
