Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a technique for measuring bone health. One of the most common measures is total body b

one mineral content (TBBMC). A highly skilled operator is required to take the measurements. Recently, a new DXA machine was purchased by a research lab and two operators were trained to take the measurements. TBBMC for eight subjects was measured by both operators. The units are grams (g). A comparison of the means for the two operators provides a check on the training they received and allows us to determine if one of the operators is producing measurements that are consistently higher than the other. Here are the data:
Subject
Operator 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 1.326 1.337 1.079 1.229 0.936 1.009 1.179 1.289
2 1.323 1.322 1.073 1.233 0.934 1.019 1.184 1.304






Take the difference between the TBBMC recorded for Operator 1 and the TBBMC for Operator 2. (Operator 1 minus Operator 2. Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Answer:

\bar d=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=-0.001

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}=0.0095

-The sample is too small to make judgments about skewness or symmetry.

H0:\mu_{1}=\mu_{2}

H1:\mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}

t=\frac{1.173-1.174}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1506^2}{8}+\frac{0.1495^2}{8}}}=-0.013

p_v =2*P(t_{(14)}

So the p value is a very high value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and a we don't have a significant difference between the two means.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the difference defined as:

(Operator 1 minus Operator 2)

d1=1.326-1.323=0.003      d2=1.337-1.322=0.015

d3=1.079-1.073=0.006     d4=1.229-1.233=-0.004

d5=0.936-0.934=0.002   d6=1.009-1.019=-0.01

d7=1.179-1.184=-0.005      d8=1.289-1.304=-0.015

Now we can calculate the mean of differences given by:

\bar d=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=-0.001

And for the sample deviation we can use the following formula:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}=0.0095

Describe the distribution of these differences using words. (which one is correct)

We can plot the distribution of the differences with the folowing code in R

differences<-c(0.003,0.015,0.006,-0.004,0.002,-0.01,-0.005,-0.015)

hist(differences)

And we got the image attached. And we can see that the distribution is right skewed but we don't have anough info to provide a conclusion with just 8 differnences.

-The sample is too small to make judgments about skewness or symmetry.

Use a significance test to examine the null hypothesis that the two operators have the same mean. Give the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

\bar X_{1}=1.173 represent the mean for the operator 1

\bar X_{2}=1.174 represent the mean for the operator 2

s_{1}=0.1506 represent the sample standard deviation for the operator 1

s_{2}=0.1495 represent the sample standard deviation for the operator 2

n_{1}=8 sample size for the operator 1

n_{2}=8 sample size for the operator 2

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the means for the two groups are the same, the system of hypothesis would be:

H0:\mu_{1}=\mu_{2}

H1:\mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}

If we analyze the size for the samples both are less than 30 so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) like this:

t=\frac{1.173-1.174}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1506^2}{8}+\frac{0.1495^2}{8}}}=-0.013

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha, but we can calculate the p value for this test. The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{1}+n_{2}-2=8+8-2=14

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

p_v =2*P(t_{(14)}

So the p value is a very high value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and a we don't have a significant difference between the two means.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off, x is 2-4. So that's the default. It would be -2. If you multiply -2 by 2, it is -4.

The cheerleaders are making a banner that is 8 feet wide. The length of the banner is 1 1/3 times width of the banner. How long
eduard

Answer:

The banner is 10 2/3 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/3 = 4/3 times the width of the banner:

4/3 * 8 feet wide = 4/3 * 8 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 feet long

The banner is 10 2/3 feet long. :)

Find the final amount in each of these retirement accounts, in which the rate

Answer:

Compound Interest: The future value (FV) of an investment of present value (PV) dollars earning interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year for a period of t years is:

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt

or

FV = PV(1 + i)n

where i = r/m is the interest per compounding period and n = mt is the number of compounding periods.

One may solve for the present value PV to obtain:

PV = FV/(1 + r/m)mt

Numerical Example: For 4-year investment of $20,000 earning 8.5% per year, with interest re-invested each month, the future value is

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt = 20,000(1 + 0.085/12)(12)(4) = $28,065.30

Notice that the interest earned is $28,065.30 - $20,000 = $8,065.30 -- considerably more than the corresponding simple interest.

Effective Interest Rate: If money is invested at an annual rate r, compounded m times per year, the effective interest rate is:

reff = (1 + r/m)m - 1.

This is the interest rate that would give the same yield if compounded only once per year. In this context r is also called the nominal rate, and is often denoted as rnom.

Numerical Example: A CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly has a nominal rate of rnom = 0.098, and an effective rate of:

r eff =(1 + rnom /m)m = (1 + 0.098/12)12 - 1 = 0.1025.

Thus, we get an effective interest rate of 10.25%, since the compounding makes the CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly really pay 10.25% interest over the course of the year.

Mortgage Payments Components: Let where P = principal, r = interest rate per period, n = number of periods, k = number of payments, R = monthly payment, and D = debt balance after K payments, then

R = P × r / [1 - (1 + r)-n]

and

D = P × (1 + r)k - R × [(1 + r)k - 1)/r]

Accelerating Mortgage Payments Components: Suppose one decides to pay more than the monthly payment, the question is how many months will it take until the mortgage is paid off? The answer is, the rounded-up, where:

n = log[x / (x – P × r)] / log (1 + r)

where Log is the logarithm in any base, say 10, or e.

Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Components: Ler where R = payment, r = rate of interest, and n = number of payments, then

FV = [ R(1 + r)n - 1 ] / r

Future Value for an Increasing Annuity: It is an increasing annuity is an investment that is earning interest, and into which regular payments of a fixed amount are made. Suppose one makes a payment of R at the end of each compounding period into an investment with a present value of PV, paying interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year, then the future value after t years will be

FV = PV(1 + i)n + [ R ( (1 + i)n - 1 ) ] / i

where i = r/m is the interest paid each period and n = m × t is the total number of periods.

Numerical Example: You deposit $100 per month into an account that now contains $5,000 and earns 5% interest per year compounded monthly. After 10 years, the amount of money in the account is:

FV = PV(1 + i)n + [ R(1 + i)n - 1 ] / i =

5,000(1+0.05/12)120 + [100(1+0.05/12)120 - 1 ] / (0.05/12)
