A real estate company is interested in testing whether the mean time that families in Gotham have been living in their current h

omes is less than families in Metropolis. Assume that the two population variances are equal. A random sample of 100 families from Gotham and a random sample of 150 families in Metropolis yield the following data on length of residence in current homes. Gotham: XG = 35 months, SG2 = 900 Metropolis: XM= 50 months, SM2 = 105
Which of the following represents the result of the relevant hypothesis test?

a. The null hypothesis is rejected.
b. The alternative hypothesis is rejected.
c. The null hypothesis is not rejected.
d. Insufficient information exists on which to make a decision.

Answer:

Correct option: a. The null hypothesis is rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistical hypothesis test for difference between two means can be used to determine whether the mean time that families in Gotham have been living in their current homes is less than families in Metropolis.

The hypothesis is:

<em>H</em>₀: The mean time that families in Gotham in their current homes is not less than families in Metropolis,i.e. <em>μ</em>₁ ≥ <em>μ</em>₂.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The mean time that families in Gotham in their current homes is less than families in Metropolis,i.e. <em>μ</em>₁ < <em>μ</em>₂.

Given:

\bar X_{G}=35\\\bar X_{M}=50\\S_{G}^{2}=900\\S_{M}^{2}=105\\n_{G}=100\\n_{M}=150

Assuming that the significance level of the test is, <em>α</em> = 0.10.

The test statistic is:

t=\frac{\bar X_{G}-\bar X_{M}}{s_{p}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{G}}+\frac{1}{n_{M}}}}

Here s_{p} = pooled standard deviation.

Compute the value of s_{p} as follows:

s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(n_{G}-1)S_{G}^{2}+(n_{M}-1)S_{M}^{2}}{n_{G}+n_{M}-2}}=\sqrt{\frac{(100-1)900+(150-1)105}{100+150-2}}=20.55

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

t=\frac{\bar X_{G}-\bar X_{M}}{s_{p}\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{G}}+\frac{1}{n_{M}}}}=\frac{35-50}{20.55\sqrt{\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{150}}}=-5.654

The test statistic value is -5.654.

The critical value of the test is, t_{\alpha, (n_{G}+n_{M}-2)}=t_{0.10,(100+150-2)}=t_{0.10,248}=-1.282

*Use a <em>t</em>-table for the value.

*The negative sign is because of the test is left-tailed.

*Since the table does not consist the value for the degrees of freedom 248 use the next highest value.

Decision rule:

If the test statistic value is less than the critical value then the null hypothesis is rejected.

Test statistic = -5.654 < Critical <em>t</em> = -1.282.

Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Solve the following: 2(6x + 5) = 94
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(6x+5)=94

(2)(6x)+(2)(5)=94(Distribute)

12x+10=94

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

12x+10−10=94−10

12x=84

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

12x

12

=

84

12

x=7

Two bags with 3 oranges in each bag is the same amount as 3 bags with 2 oranges in each bag. Which property of multiplication do
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The property of multiplication that is being demonstrated is known as Commutative Property. This property basically shows that when multiplying two numbers the actual order in which they are multiplied does not matter and does not affect the result at all. For example, the in this scenario to get the total number of oranges we have to multiply the number of bags by the number of oranges in each bag, but whatever way we do this they equal the same

2 bags * 3 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

3 bags * 2 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

Therefore,

2 * 3 = 3 * 2
