Answer:

(a) Decision rule for 0.01 significance level is that we will reject our null hypothesis if the test statistics does not lie between t = -2.651 and t = 2.651.

(b) The value of t test statistics is 1.890.

(c) We conclude that there is no difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month.

(d) P-value of the test statistics is 0.0662.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month.

Also, following information is given below;

Statistic : Men Women

The sample mean : 24.51 22.69

Sample standard deviation : 4.48 3.86

Sample size : 35 40

Let $\mu_1$ = mean number of times men order take-out dinners in a month.

$\mu_2$ = mean number of times women order take-out dinners in a month

(a) So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu_1-\mu_2$ = 0 {means that there is no difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu_1-\mu_2\neq$ 0 {means that there is difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month}

The test statistics that would be used here Two-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }$ ~ $t__n_1_-_n_2_-_2$

where, $\bar X_1$ = sample mean for men = 24.51

$\bar X_2$ = sample mean for women = 22.69

$s_1$ = sample standard deviation for men = 4.48

$s_2$ = sample standard deviation for women = 3.86

$n_1$ = sample of men = 35

$n_2$ = sample of women = 40

Also, $s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} }$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(35-1)\times 4.48^{2}+(40-1)\times 3.86^{2} }{35+40-2} }$ = 4.16

So, test statistics = $\frac{(24.51-22.69)-(0)}{4.16 \sqrt{\frac{1}{35}+\frac{1}{40} } }$ ~ $t_7_3$

= 1.890

(b) The value of t test statistics is 1.890.

(c) Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical values of -2.651 and 2.651 at 73 degree of freedom for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that there is no difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month.

(d) Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

P-value = P( $t_7_3$ > 1.89) = 0.0331

So, P-value for two tailed test is = 2 $\times$ 0.0331 = 0.0662

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 2) (x − 5) (x − 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x − (-2)) (x − 5) (x − 6)

f(x) = (x + 2) (x − 5) (x − 6)

Hii! Please helpppp!! This was due like 3 days ago lol

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Fergus has 3 1/4 cups of oats

= 13/4 cups of oats

Oatmeal bars = 2 2/3

= 8/3 cups of oatmeal used

Therefore cups of oats left = 13/4 - 8/3

= 39/12 - 32/12

= 7/12 cups of oats left

She borrowed 1 cup of oats from neighbour

7/12 + 1/1

= 7/12 + 12/12

= 19/12 cups of oats

Blueberry oats muffin = 1 3/4 cups of oats

= 7/4 cups of oats

Total she will have now = 19/12-7/4

= 19/12 - 21/12

= - 2/12

= -1/6

Which means she needs 1/6 cup of oats more

Therefore its option 4

For which system of equations is (5, 3) the solution? A. 3x – 2y = 9 3x + 2y = 14 B. x – y = –2 4x – 3y = 11 C. –2x – y = –13 x

Alla [95]

The correct answer is:

D) $\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {2x+7y=31}} \right.$ .

Explanation:

We solve each system to find the correct answer.

For A:
$\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {3x+2y=14}} \right.$

Since we have the coefficients of both variables the same, we will use elimination to solve this.

Since the coefficients of y are -2 and 2, we can add the equations to solve, since -2+2=0 and cancels the y variable:
$\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {+(3x+2y=14)}} \right. 
\\
\\6x=23$

Next we divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 23/6
x = 23/6

This is not the x-coordinate of the answer we are looking for, so A is not correct.

For B:
$\left \{ {{x-y=-2} \atop {4x-3y=11}} \right.$

For this equation, it will be easier to isolate a variable and use substitution, since the coefficient of both x and y in the first equation is 1:
x-y=-2

Add y to both sides:
x-y+y=-2+y
x=-2+y

We now substitute this in place of x in the second equation:
4x-3y=11
4(-2+y)-3y=11

Using the distributive property, we have:
4(-2)+4(y)-3y=11
-8+4y-3y=11

Combining like terms, we have:
-8+y=11

Add 8 to each side:
-8+y+8=11+8
y=19

This is not the y-coordinate of the answer we're looking for, so B is not correct.

For C:
Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 1, we will use substitution again.

x+2y=-11

To isolate x, subtract 2y from each side:
x+2y-2y=-11-2y
x=-11-2y

Now substitute this in place of x in the first equation:
-2x-y=-13
-2(-11-2y)-y=-13

Using the distributive property, we have:
-2(-11)-2(-2y)-y=-13
22+4y-y=-13

Combining like terms:
22+3y=-13

Subtract 22 from each side:
22+3y-22=-13-22
3y=-35

Divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -35/3
y = -35/3

This is not the y-coordinate of the answer we're looking for, so C is not correct.

For D:
Since the coefficients of x are the same in each equation, we will use elimination. We have 2x in each equation; to eliminate this, we will subtract, since 2x-2x=0:

$\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {-(2x+7y=31)}} \right. 
\\
\\-8y=-24$

Divide both sides by -8:
-8y/-8 = -24/-8
y=3

The y-coordinate is correct; next we check the x-coordinate Substitute the value for y into the first equation:
2x-y=7
2x-3=7

Add 3 to each side:
2x-3+3=7+3
2x=10

Divide each side by 2:
2x/2=10/2
x=5

This gives us the x- and y-coordinate we need, so D is the correct answer.
