We're testing the hypothesis that the average boy walks at 18 months of age (H0: p = 18). We assume that the ages at which boys

walk is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5 months. A random sample of 25 boys has a mean of 19.2 months. Which of the following statements are correct?
I. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .05.
II. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .01.
III. This finding is significant for a one-tailed test at .01.

a. I only
b. II only
c. III only
d. II and III only
e. I and III only

Answer:

II. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .01.

III. This finding is significant for a one-tailed test at .01.

d. II and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation    

\bar X=19.2 represent the battery life sample mean    

\sigma=2.5 represent the population standard deviation    

n=25 sample size    

\mu_o =18 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)    

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean battery life is equal to 18 or not for parta I and II:    

Null hypothesis:\mu = 18    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 18    

And for part III we have a one tailed test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 18    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 18  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

3) Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

z=\frac{19.2-18}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{25}}}=2.4    

4) P-value    

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=25-1=24  

Since is a two tailed test for parts I and II, the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(t_{(24)}>2.4)=0.0245

And for part III since we have a one right tailed test the p value is:

p_v =P(t_{(24)}>2.4)=0.0122

5) Conclusion    

I. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .05.

Since the p_v. We reject the null hypothesis so we don't have a significant result. FALSE

II. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .01.

Since the p_v >\alpha. We FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so we have a significant result. TRUE.

III. This finding is significant for a one-tailed test at .01.

Since the p_v >\alpha. We FAIL to reject the null hypothesis so we have a significant result. TRUE.

So then the correct options is:

d. II and III only

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For a square, all the sides are equal and the interior angles are equal and all equal to 90. Hence;

m<BOJ = 90 degrees

m<BOJ = 4x - 6

Equating both to get x;

4x - 6 = 90

4x = 90+6

4x = 96

x = 96/4

x = 24

Since all the sides are equal, hence BO = JO = 2x-8

JO = 2x - 8

Substitute x = 24 into JO

JO = 2(24) - 8

JO = 48 - 8

JO = 40

Hence the measure of JO is 40 units

Plz i need help What is the volume of the rectangular prism? show how you did it
Vesnalui [34]

The formula for volume is V=LWH

So in this example we have 10.4*5*8

So 8*5=40

40*10.4=416

So the volume is 416 cubic mm

Hope that helped
