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.

F(x) = -1/2x^2 + 3/2x - 2 I need to find the zeros​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

{-1, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given f(x) = -1/2x^2 + 3/2x - 2

set f(x) = 0 and then multiply all the numeric terms by -2 to remove the fractions:

f(x) = -1/2x^2 + 3/2x - 2 = 0  =>  1x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0  

This factors into (x - 4)(x + 1) = 0, whose roots are {-1, 4}.  These are the zeros.

Find the roots of the polynomial equation.
True [87]

Answer:

3 ± i5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're given four sets of possible roots of the given polynomial.   Each set consists of two complex quantities and 1 real quantity.

First, we determine whether +4 is a root, then whether -4 is a root.  Let's use synthetic division to do that:

     -----------------------

4   /  1   -2    10   136

             4      8    72

    ---------------------------

        1     2    18    208     Since the remainder is not zero, 4 is not a root.

Eliminate the first two possible answer choices, and assume that -4 is a root.

Let's check this out to be certain:

     -----------------------

-4  /  1   -2    10   136

             -4   24  -136

    ---------------------------

        1     -6    34    0

Since the rem. is zero, -4 is a root, and the coefficients of the 2nd-degree quotient are 1, -6 and 34.

In other words, a = 1, b = -6 and c = 34.

Let's apply the quadratic rule to find the roots:

       6 ± √(36 - 4[1][34] )       6 ± √ (-100)

x = ------------------------------ = ----------------------- = 3 ± i5

                     2                                   2

So the correct answer is the last one of the four given possible answers:

3 ± i5
