Answer:

Part a: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=46-1=45  

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(45)}  

Part b: Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not lower than 20 at 1% of signficance.  

a. There is insufficient evidence to reject h^0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=19.1 represent the sample mean

s=11.8 represent the sample standard deviation

n=46 sample size  

\mu_o =20 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is lower than 20, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 20  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 20  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{19.1-20}{\frac{11.8}{\sqrt{46}}}=-0.517    

Part a: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=46-1=45  

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(45)}  

Part b: Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not lower than 20 at 1% of signficance.

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x + y &gt; 8 ? Choose all answers that are correct.
gtnhenbr [62]
Hi again!

2x + y > 8

The correct answer is option D
-------------------------------------------

Honestly I don't think we can solve the equation to find the answer. What we can do is to find the boundary line. (I think you know what that is) After that, shading the appropriate area.

y > -2x + 8

Again, credit to my beautiful graphing calculator. Here is how it looks like.
