Again ... Commute times in the U.S. are heavily skewed to the right. We select a random sample of 500 people from the 2000 U.S.

Census who reported a non-zero commute time. In this sample the mean commute time is 27.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 19.6 minutes. Are researchers able to conclude from this data that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour?

Answer:

We conclude that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 500 people from the 2000 U.S. Census is selected who reported a non-zero commute time.

In this sample the mean commute time is 27.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 19.6 minutes.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean commute time in the U.S..</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 30 minutes      {means that the mean commute time in the U.S. is more than or equal to half an hour}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 30 minutes     {means that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                           T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean commute time = 27.6 minutes

            s = sample standard deviation = 19.6 minutes

            n = sample of people from the 2000 U.S. Census = 500

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{27.6 -30}{\frac{19.6}{\sqrt{500} } }  ~ t_4_9_9

                                       =  -2.738

The value of t test statistic is -2.738.

Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical values of -1.645 at 499 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of t as -2.378 < -1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis.</u>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

What does this quote tell us about the media’s influence during the Nixon investigation?
 
"We saw the public man in his first administration, and we were impressed. Now in about 300,000 words we have seen the private man, and we are appalled." – Clayton Kirkpatrick, editor of the Chicago Tribune, a newspaper that published the entire transcript of Nixon’s released communications

  A. The media shared real evidence and their opinions on it, which probably influenced citizen opinion.  B. The media disapproved of the president’s private actions but still supported and re-elected him. C.The media rallied behind the president because of his great record during his first term in office.<span> D. The media could not publish or discuss real evidence related to the president or the investigation. please help me.</span>

<span>the answer for u is  </span>

<span>2 hours=120 minutes
You simply just do 120/100=1.2
So the answer is B. 1.23 or 1.2 (rounded) per minute</span>

Answer:

Height = 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals meet at right angles. Interesting property.

The hypotenuse is the side of the rhombus = 15 cm

One of the sides of the small triangles created by the intersection of the diagonals = 24/2 = 12

You can find the other side of the the triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = 15

a = 12

b = ?

12^2 + b^2 = 15^2

144 + b^2 = 225

b^2 = 225 - 144

b^2 = 81

b = 9

The area of this right angle = 9 * 12/2 = 54

There are 4 of them so 4 * 54 = 216

That's the area of the rhombus.

The h= Area / b

b = 15

h = 216/15

h = 14.4
