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.

The function f(x) is graphed. It represents a translation of the square root function g(x) = . What equation represents the grap
weqwewe [10]

Using translation concepts, the equation of the graph of f(x) is given as follows:

f(x) = \sqrt{x - 1}

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

Function f(x) is a shift right of one unit of the square root function, hence x -> x - 1 and the equation is given by:

f(x) = \sqrt{x - 1}

lana [24]

Answer:

75th term = 443

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n}=a_{1}+d(n-1) \\a_{n}=-1+6(n-1) \\a_{75}=-1+6(75-1) \\a_{75}=-1+6(74)\\a_{75}=-1+444\\a_{75}=443 \\\\
