A random sample of 100 people from City A has an average IQ of 120 with a SD of 18. Independently of this, a random sample of 15

0 people from City B has an average IQ of 116 with a SD of 15. Are residents of City A smarter on average? Make a z-test of the difference in average IQs; the null hypothesis is that there is no difference.

Answer:

z=\frac{(120-116)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{18^2}{100}+\frac{15^2}{150}}}}=1.837

p_v =P(z>1.837)=1-P(Z  

Comparing the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the average IQ on city A is signficantly higher than city B at 5% of singificance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

\bar X_{A}=120 represent the mean for sample 1

\bar X_{B}=116 represent the mean for sample 2

s_{A}=18 represent the sample standard deviation for 1  

s_{B}=15 represent the sample standard deviation for 2  

n_{A}=100 sample size for the group 2  

n_{B}=150 sample size for the group 2  

\alpha Significance level provided

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if residents of City A smarter on average, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu_{A}-\mu_{B}\leq 0  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B}> 0  

We don't have the population standard deviation's, but the sample sizes are large enough we can apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{(\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{A}}{n_{A}}+\frac{s^2_{B}}{n_{B}}}} (1)

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

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

z=\frac{(120-116)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{18^2}{100}+\frac{15^2}{150}}}}=1.837

P value

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>1.837)=1-P(Z  

Comparing the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the average IQ on city A is signficantly higher than city B at 5% of singificance.

The memory card on melcher did it's camera can hold about 430 pictures. Melcher used 18% of the memory card while taking picture
Korolek [52]
Just cross multiply to find 18% of 430
18/100 = x/430
430 X 18 = 7740
7740 = 100x
7740/100 = 77.4
so Melcher took about 77 photos.

How to solve for a missing side length of a triangle (NOT a right triangle) when one side is 4m and another side is 3m, and the
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

c ≈ 6.08 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is how to solve for a missing side length of a triangle when given 2 sides length and an angle. The side length can be solved using the cosine rule . We use cosine rule to find the length of a side of a triangle when given two sides and an included angle.

The cosine rule formula for finding a side length are as follows

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cosC

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cosB

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cosC

Using cosine rule

c² = 4² + 3² - 2 × 4 × 3 cos 120°

c² = 16 + 9 - 24 cos 120°

c² = 25 - 24 (-0.5)

c² = 25 + 12

c² = 37

square root both sides

c = √37

c = 6.0827625303

c ≈ 6.08 m
