The mean number of children among a sample of 15 low-income households is 2.8. The mean number of children among a sample of 19

high-income households is 2.4. The standard deviations for low- and high-income households are found to be 1.6 and 1.7, respectively. Test the hypothesis of no difference against the alternative that high-income households have fewer children. Use a = 0.05 and a pooled estimate of the variance.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put the data as below:

n1=15    x1=2.8      s1=1.6       and s1²=2.56

n2=19   x2=2.4     s2=1.7        and s2²=2.89

alpha= 0.05

To test the hypothesis:

H0= There is no sufficient evidence that low income household have fewer children

H1=There is sufficient evidence that low income household have fewer children

Assume that population variances are equal.

the t-static for two samples,

t=\frac{x1-x2}{Sp\sqrt{\frac{1}{n1}-\frac{1}{n2} \\} } } ~t with min (n1-1,n2-1)df

The pooled variance estimate Sp equals:

Sp^{2}=\frac{(n1-1)s1^{2}+(n2-1)s2^{2}  }{n1+n2-2}

Sp²=2.7456

Sp=1.65699

Degrees of freedom=n1+n2-2=32

Under null hypothesis:

tcal=\frac{|2.8 - 2.4|}{1.6599\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{19}  } }

tcal=0.6989

The critical value ttab=2.0369 for alpha=0.05

So we reject our null hypothesis H0

So there is sufficient evidence that low income households have fewer children than high income households

What is the value of the slope of the graph of distance versus time, and what does the slope represent?
Phantasy [73]
To find the slope of the graph you pick any piece of the line, and divide the vertical difference between its ends by the horizontal difference between its ends. If the graph is distance versus time then the slope represents the speed.

the area of a mirror is 225 square inches and its width is 13 3/4 inches. Will the mirror fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16
Tems11 [23]
A = 225 in^2
W = 13.75

15x16 = 240 in^2

240/13.75 = 17.45 in

the mirror would not fit in a space that is 15 by 16 inches since its approximately 13 by 17 inches
