A random sample of n = 45 observations from a quantitative population produced a mean x = 2.5 and a standard deviation s = 0.26.

Your research objective is to show that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4. Calculate the p-value for the test statistic z = 2.58. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

P-value (t=2.58) = 0.0066.

Note: as we are using the sample standard deviation, a t-statistic is appropiate instead os a z-statistic.

As the P-value (0.0066) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=2.4\\\\H_a:\mu> 2.4

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=45.

The sample mean is M=2.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.26.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.26}{\sqrt{45}}=0.0388

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2.5-2.4}{0.0388}=\dfrac{0.1}{0.0388}=2.58

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=45-1=44

This test is a right-tailed test, with 44 degrees of freedom and t=2.58, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t>2.5801)=0.0066

As the P-value (0.0066) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Which of the following statements is needed in order to prove these triangles are congruent by AAS?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

RQ\cong UT

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are congruent by AAS postulate if two adjacent corresponding angles are congruent and the next adjacent sides to any of the angles is are also congruent. The adjacent sides should not be in between the two congruent angles.

From the triangles RQS and UTV

\angle R\cong \angle U\\\angle S\cong \angle V

The adjacent side to \angle R is RQ and for \angle U is UT.

Similarly, the adjacent side to \angle S is QS and for \angle V is TV.

So, the possible sides that could be congruent by AAS postulate are:

RQ\cong UT or QS\cong TV

So, the correct option is RQ\cong UT

Answer:

41x² - 27x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of Rectangle:

= 2(20x²-12x+4) + 2(5x²-5x+15)

= 40x²-24x+8 + 10x²-10x+30

= 50x²-34x+38

Perimeter of Triangle:

= 6x²+6x+3x+3+3x²-2x+8

= 9x²+7x+11

Difference:

(50x²-9x²)+(-34x+7x)+(38-11)

= 41x² - 27x + 27
