According to a 2014 research study of national student engagement in the U.S., the average college student spends 17 hours per w

eek studying. A professor believes that students at her college study less than 17 hours per week. The professor distributes a survey to a random sample of 80 students enrolled at the college. From her survey data the professor calculates that the mean number of hours per week spent studying for her sample is 15.6 hours per week with a standard deviation of 4.5 hours per week. The professor chooses a 5% level of significance. What can she conclude from her data? Group of answer choices The data supports the professor’s claim. The average number of hours per week spent studying for students at her college is less than 17 hours per week. The professor cannot conclude that the average number of hours per week spent studying for students at her college is less than 17 hours per week. The sample mean of 15.6 is not significantly less than 17. Nothing. The conditions for use of a T-model are not met. The professor cannot trust that the p-value is accurate for this reason.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 17

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 17

This is a left tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is not given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 80,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 80 - 1 = 79

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 15.6

µ = population mean = 17

s = samples standard deviation = 4.5

t = (15.6 - 17)/(4.5/√80) = - 2.78

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.0034

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0043, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

The data supports the professor’s claim. The average number of hours per week spent studying for students at her college is less than 17 hours per week.

2x²-5x-12=0 (simplify solution set)
Arada [10]

Answer:

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify and solve this, let's use the quadratic formula.

So the format of a quadratic equation is supposed look like this:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Let's find a, b, c:

  • a is the coefficient of x^2
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the constant term

Now let's solve the equation.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x^2−5x−12=0

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-12

2x^2+−5x+−12=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-12.

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-12)} }{2(2)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{121} }{4}

x=4 or x=\frac{-3}{2}

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Sam said shape A has a uniform cross section. Lloyd said shape B has a uniform cross section. Who is correct? Explain your answe
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Sam is right. shape A which is cylinder has uniform cross section.

Explanation:

what is uniform cross section?

uniform cross section is when cut through an object and the bases are similar.

solution:

For cylinder:

when we cut a cylinder, its in a circle shaped and have similar bases - thus have uniform cross section.

For pyramid:

when we cut a pyramid it is in rectangle shape and this changes as we go up or down the pyramid and does not have uniform cross section.

Just one problematic Answer
Arturiano [62]
All you have to do is divide 75 by .15. To start, you need to get rid of the decimal in .15, so move your decimal two spots to the right to turn .15 into 15. Then you have to move your decimal that is implied to be at the end of 75 over two spots because you moved the decimal in .15 which makes it 7,500. Now you have: 
7,500 ÷ 15 = 500     500 is your answer.
