You are testing the claim that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mean GPA of day students. You sample 30 nigh

t students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.35 with a standard deviation of 0.46. You sample 25 day students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.58 with a standard deviation of 0.47. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance. Assume the sample standard deviations are unequal and that GPAs are normally distributed. Hypotheses:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean GPA of night students and μ2 be the mean GPA of day students.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean GPA of night students and the mean GPA of day students.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 2.35

x2 = 2.58

s1 = 0.46

s2 = 0.47

n1 = 30

n2 = 25

t = (2.35 - 2.58)/√(0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25)

t = - 1.82

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25]²/[(1/30 - 1)(0.46²/30)² + (1/25 - 1)(0.47²/25)²] = 0.00025247091/0.00000496862

df = 51

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.075

Alpha = 5% = 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.075, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Maggie's brother is 4 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 26.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Maggie is 6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

M + B = 26

B = 26 - M

4M - 4 = B

4M - 4 = 26 - M

5M = 30

M = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite angles in a quadrilateral theorem states that when a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the angles that are opposite each other are supplementary, their degree measures add up to 180 degrees. One can apply this here by using the sum of (<C) and (<A) to find the measure of the parameter (z). Then one can substitute in the value of (z) to find the measure of (<B). Finally, one can use the opposite angles in a quadrilateral theorem to find the measure of angle (<D) by using the sum of (<B) and (D).

Use the opposite angles in an inscribed quadrialteral theorem,

<A + <C = 180

Substitute,

14x - 7 + 8z = 180

Simplify,

22z - 7 = 180

Inverse operations,

22z = 187

z = \frac{187}{22}

Simplify,

z = \frac{17}{2}

Now substitute the value of (z) into the expression given for the measure of angle (<B)

<B = 10z

<B = 10(\frac{17}{2})

Simplify,

<B = 85

Use the opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral theorem to find the measure of (<D)

<B + <D = 180

Substitute,

85 + <D = 180

Inverse operations,

<D = 95

Pls HELP I BEG YOUUUU
Stells [14]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+22) + (x+6) + (x-28) = 180

x + 22 + x + 6 + x - 28 = 180

x + x + x + 22 + 6 - 28 = 180

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60
