A recent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. Assume that the distr

ibutions follow the normal probability distribution and the population standard deviations are equal. The information is summarized below.
Statistic: Men Women
The sample mean: 24.51 22.69
Sample standard deviation: 4.48 3.86
Sample size: 35 40
At the 0.01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month?
a. State the decision rule for 0.01 significance level: H0: μMen= μWomen H1: μMen ≠ μWomen. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Reject H0 if t < _____ or t > ______
b. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
c. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
d. What is the p-value?

Answer:

(a) Decision rule for 0.01 significance level is that we will reject our null hypothesis if the test statistics does not lie between t = -2.651 and t = 2.651.

(b) The value of t test statistics is 1.890.

(c) We conclude that there is no difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month.

(d) P-value of the test statistics is 0.0662.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month.

Also, following information is given below;

Statistic : Men      Women

The sample mean : 24.51      22.69

Sample standard deviation : 4.48    3.86

Sample size : 35    40

<em>Let </em>\mu_1<em> = mean number of times men order take-out dinners in a month.</em>

<em />\mu_2<em> = mean number of times women order take-out dinners in a month</em>

(a) So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu_1-\mu_2 = 0     {means that there is no difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0     {means that there is difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>Two-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                      T.S. =  \frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}  } }  ~ t__n_1_-_n_2_-_2

where, \bar X_1 = sample mean for men = 24.51

\bar X_2 = sample mean for women = 22.69

s_1 = sample standard deviation for men = 4.48

s_2 = sample standard deviation for women = 3.86

n_1 = sample of men = 35

n_2 = sample of women = 40

Also,  s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)s_2^{2}  }{n_1+n_2-2} }  =  \sqrt{\frac{(35-1)\times 4.48^{2}+(40-1)\times 3.86^{2}  }{35+40-2} } = 4.16

So, <u>test statistics</u>  =  \frac{(24.51-22.69)-(0)}{4.16 \sqrt{\frac{1}{35}+\frac{1}{40}  } }  ~ t_7_3

                              =  1.890

(b) The value of t test statistics is 1.890.

(c) Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical values of -2.651 and 2.651 at 73 degree of freedom for two-tailed test.

Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that there is no difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month.

(d) Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                     P-value = P( t_7_3 > 1.89) = 0.0331

So, P-value for two tailed test is = 2 \times 0.0331 = <u>0.0662</u>

Polygon ABCD is plotted on a coordinate plane and then rotated 90° clockwise about point C to form polygon A′B′C′D′. Match each
horrorfan [7]

The vertices of ABCD after 90 degrees clockwise rotation about point C are: A' (0,6), B' (3,7), C' (4,6) and D' (4,3)

<h3>How to match the vertices of the polygon?</h3>

The image of the polygon ABCD is not given; however, the question can still be answered because the coordinates are known.

The vertices of polygon ABCD are given as:

A = (4, 6)

B = (5, 3)

C = (4, 2)

D = (1, 2)

The rule of rotation about point C is:

(x,y) = (a + b - y, x + b - a)

Where:

(a, b) = (4, 2) --- the point of rotation.

So, we have:

(x,y) = (4 + 2 - y, x + 4 - 2)

(x,y) = (6 - y, x + 2)

The above means that:

A' = (6 - 6, 4 + 2) = (0,6)

B' = (6 - 3, 5 + 2) = (3,7)

C' = (6 - 2, 4 + 2) = (4,6)

D' = (6 - 2, 1 + 2) = (4,3)

Hence, the image of the rotation and their vertices (i.e. coordinates) are:

A' = (0,6)

B' =  (3,7)

C' = (4,6)

D' =  (4,3)

Which is the rate of change for the interval between 3 and 6 on the x-axis?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first identify the ordered pairs at those two points. They would be (3, -2) and (6, 4). Then use the slope formula with those two points to find the rate of change.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - - 2)/(6 - 3)

m = 6/3

m = 2
