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.

HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
shutvik [7]

Answer:

522 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

I've circles the numbers that you actually need to solve this problem.

First, find the area of the bigger rectangle by multiplying the length and width.

24*21=504

Then find the area of the smaller rectangle the same way

3*6=18

then add them to get the total area

504+18=522

Mick paid 2.94 in sales tax on an item that costs 42 dollars before tax. At that rate how much would he pay in sales tax for an
djverab [1.8K]
Mick would pay $4.06 in sales tax for an item that costs $58.00.

This can be found by working backwards in the problem. By dividing that sales tax paid (2.94) by the dollars before tax (42), you get a percentage that should equal the percentage of the total paid for tax.

2.94 ÷ 42 = 0.07

This means that the sales tax is 7% of the total prior to tax. So we'd then multiply our dollars (58) with the sales tax in decimal form (0.07)

58.00 × 0.07 = 4.06

Hope I could help!

I need help ASAP please! <br>The graph of y=f(x) is shown below.<br><br>Graph y=1/2f(x)
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The graph of y = 1/2f(x) is the graph y = x and y = -x for -4 ≤ y ≤ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that when y = 0, x = 0

when y = -4, x = -2

The equation is therefore of the form y = m·x + c

m = slope

Slope, \ m = \frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2- x_1}} = \frac{0 - (-4)}{0 - (-2)} =\frac{4}{2} =2

c = y intercept = 0

Hence the first line is y = 2·x

The second line on the right is the mirror of the first on the left with slope;

Slope, \ m = \frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2- x_1}} = \frac{-4 -0}{2-0} =\frac{-4}{2} =-2

Hence the second line on the right is y = -2·x

Hence for y = 1/2 f(x) we have;

y = 1/2 × 2·x = x and y = 1/2 ×-2·x = -x

Graphing the functions, we have
