.In the Star Wars franchise, Yoda stands at only 66 centimeters tall. Suppose you want to see whether or not hobbits from the Lo

rd Of The Rings are taller than Yoda, on average. From prior research you know that the distribution of hobbit heights are approximately Normally distributed. From a sample of 7 hobbits, you find their mean height ¯ x = 80cm with standard deviation s = 10.8cm. Does sample evidence suggest at the α = 0.01 level of significance that the average hobbit is taller than Yoda? Use steps A through F to test the appropriate hypotheses.

Answer:

We conclude that the average height of hobbit is taller than Yoda.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in the Star Wars franchise, Yoda stands at only 66 centimetres tall.

From a sample of 7 hobbits, you find their mean height \bar X = 80 cm with standard deviation s = 10.8 cm.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = average height of hobbit.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 66 cm      {means that the average height of hobbit is shorter than or equal to Yoda}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 66 cm      {means that the average height of hobbit is taller than Yoda}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                     T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean height = 80 cm

             s = sample standard deviation = 10.8 cm

             n = sample of hobbits = 7

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{80-66}{\frac{10.8}{\sqrt{7}}}  ~ t_6

                              =  3.429

The value of t test statistics is 3.429.

<em>Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of 3.143 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of t as 3.429 > 3.143, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

<em />

Therefore, we conclude that the average height of hobbit is taller than Yoda.

PLEASE HELP! I’m so confused. Explain your answer, thanks!

Answer:

y+2 = 3/4 (x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a slope and a point, we can use the point slope form of the equation for a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y--2 = 3/4(x-1)

y+2 = 3/4 (x-1)

A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A rectangular strip with a width of 2 units and a length of x units is c
vlabodo [156]

Let

x--------> the length side of the original square paper

we know that

<u>the area of the original square paper is equal to</u>

A1=x*x=x^{2} \ units^{2}

<u>the area of the remaining piece of paper is equal to</u>

A2=x^{2} -2x\\ A2=120\ units^{2} \\ so\\ x^{2} -2x=120\\ x^{2} -2x-120=0

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

x2 − 2x − 120 = 0
