A recent study found that 51 children who watched a commercial for Walker Crisps (potato chips) featuring a long-standing sports

celebrity endorser ate a mean of 36 grams of Walker Crisps as compared to a mean of 25 g of Walker Crisps for 41 children who watched a commercial for an alternative food snack. Suppose that the sample standard deviation for the children who watched the sports celebrity–endorsed Walker Crisps commercial was 21.4 g and the sample standard deviation for the children who watched the alternative food snack commercial was 12.8 g. Assuming the population variances are not equal and alpha-05, is there any evidence that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial?
1. What is the claim from the question? What are Null and Alternative Hypothesis for this problem?

Answer:

1

The claim is that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

2

The kind of test to use is a t -test because a t -test is used to check if there is a difference between means of a population

3

t  =  3.054

4

The p-value  is   p-value  =  P(Z >  3.054) = 0.0011291

5

The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The test statistics is  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first sample size is  n_1  =  51

    The first sample  mean is \mu_1  =  36

    The second sample size is  n_2  =  41

    The second sample  size is  \mu_2  =  25

     The first standard deviation is  \sigma _1  =  21.4 \  g

    The second standard deviation is  \sigma _2  =  12.8 \  g

  The  level of significance is  \alpha =  0.05

The  null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu_1 = \mu_ 2

The  alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu_1 > \mu_2

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

    t  =  \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2}{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2}{n_1}  + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}  } }

=>   t  =  \frac{ 36 - 25}{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 21.4^2}{51}  + \frac{ 12.8^2}{41}  } }

=> t  =  3.054

The  p-value is mathematically represented as

     p-value  =  P(Z >  3.054)

Generally from the z table  

             P(Z >  3.054) =  0.0011291

=>   p-value  =  P(Z >  3.054) = 0.0011291

From the values obtained  we see that p-value  < \alpha so  the null hypothesis is rejected

Thus the conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

Answer:

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

There's no value of x which makes the function undefined .

So x can take any real value

i.e. -infinity < x < +infinity

In a recent​ year, an author wrote 169 checks. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability​ that, on a randomly selecte
grigory [225]
We should first calculate the average number of checks he wrote per day.  To do that, divide 169 by 365 (the number of days in a year) and you get (rounded) 0.463.  This will be λ in our Poisson distribution.  Our formula is
P(X=k)= \frac{ \lambda ^{k}-e^{-\lambda} }{k!}.  We want to evaluate this formula for X≥1, so first we must evaluate our case at k=0.  
P(X=0)= \frac{0.463 ^{0}-e ^{-0.463} }{0!} \\ = \frac{1-e ^{-0.463} }{1} =0.3706
To find P(X≥1), we find 1-P(X<1).  Since the author cannot write a negative number of checks, this means we are finding 1-P(X=0).  Therefore we have 1-0.3706=0.6294.
There is a 63% chance that the author will write a check on any given day in the year.<em />
