An article in a local town newspaper discusses the results of state test scores in their town. The reporter headlines, "The stud

ents in this town don't have the necessary skills." The state test says that a score of 261 or higher on its test reflects the student has the skills needed to graduate. A local town newspaper conducted a random sample of 200 students and found the mean to be 257 and a standard deviation of 41 points. Is this sample result good evidence that the mean of all students in this town is less than 261

Answer:

We are supposed to find Is this sample result good evidence that the mean of all students in this town is less than 261

Sample size = n = 200

\bar{x}=257

\mu = 257

Since n>30

Standard deviation = \sigma = 41

So,we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 261\\H_a:\mu < 261

Formula : z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Substitute the values

z=\frac{257-261}{\frac{41}{\sqrt{200}}}

z=-1.37

Now find the p value from the z table

P(z<-1.37)=0.0853

Let us suppose the significance level is 5 %

So, α = 0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis \mu \geq 261

Which equation represent two less than a number is equal to 10
Rainbow [258]
For this question, we can make the number equal to n. Since two less than it is equal to ten, we know that we are dealing with subtraction. In addition, we know that doing something to n makes it equal to 10. And that something is subtracting two from it. that means that the equation that represents this scenario is n - 2 = 10.

ANSWER FAST PLEASEEE
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Linear Equation: y=-44000x+88922000

Year 2009: $526000

By year 2021, they have no more fund

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is difference of y/difference of x. 79000-70200/2003-2005=

-88000/2=-44000.

To find the y intercept, x=0.

It should be year 0. 44000x2003=88132000+790000=88922000

Now put it into y=mx+b

y=-44000x+88922000

Plug in 2009.

It should equal 526000.
