Independent random samples of vehicles traveling past a given point on an interstate highway have been observed on monday versus

wednesday. for 16 cars observed on monday, the average speed was 59.4 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.7 mph. for 20 cars observed on wednesday, the average speed was 56.3 mph, with a standard deviation of 4.4 mph. at the 0.05 level, and assuming normal populations, can we conclude that the average speed for all vehicles was higher on monday than on wednesday?

Hi! 

To compare this two sets of data, you need to use a t-student test:

You have the following data:

-Monday n1=16; <span>x̄1=59,4 mph; s1=3,7 mph

-Wednesday n2=20;  </span>x̄2=56,3 mph; s2=4,4 mph

You need to calculate the statistical t, and compare it with the value from tables. If the value you obtained is bigger than the tabulated one, there is a statistically significant difference between the two samples.

t= \frac{X1-X2}{ \sqrt{ \frac{(n1-1)* s1^{2}+(n2-1)* s2^{2} }{n1+n2-2}} * \sqrt{ \frac{1}{n1}+ \frac{1}{n2}} } =2,2510

To calculate the degrees of freedom you need to use the following equation:

df= \frac{ (\frac{ s1^{2}}{n1} + \frac{ s2^{2}}{n2})^{2}}{ \frac{(s1^{2}/n1)^{2}}{n1-1}+ \frac{(s2^{2}/n2)^{2}}{n2-1}}=33,89≈34

The tabulated value at 0,05 level (using two-tails, as the distribution is normal) is 2,03. https://www.danielsoper.com/statcalc/calculator.aspx?id=10

So, as the calculated value is higher than the critical tabulated one, we can conclude that the average speed for all vehicles was higher on Monday than on Wednesday.

a group raised $276 for its favorite charity. this is 23% of the amount it hopes to raise. how much money does the group want to
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: The group wants to raise $1,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve.

part/whole = percent/100

If we insert the values:

276/x = 23/100

We can cross multiply.

276 x 100 = 27,600

27,600 / 23 = 1,200

$1,200 is the answer.
