Given:





To find:
The variance. of combined set.
Solution:
Formula for variance is
...(i)
Using (i), we get




Similarly,




Now, after combining both sets, we get




Therefore, the variance of combined set is 15.4.
The sequence is 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ..... The pattern is: Each term is (the term before it) plus (1).
My work is shown up above in the picture.
Answer:
The claim is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data :
13 24 21 37 15 25 18 22 40 32
The sample mean and standard deviation can ben calculated for the given sample.
Using calculator :
Sample mean, xbar = 24.7
Sample standard deviation, s = 9.04
Sample size, n = 10
The hypothesis :
H0 : μ = 17
H1 : μ ≠ 17
The test statistic :
(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))
(24.7 - 17) ÷ (9.04/√(10))
7.7 / 2.8586990
Test statistic = 2.694
We can obtain the Pvalue, at α = 0.05 ; df = n-1 = 9
Pvalue = 0.0246
Since Pvalue < α ; we reject the null ; Hence, there is significant evidence to conclude that an adult American does not spend average of 17 hours in leisure
