According to​ researchers, the mean length of imprisonment for​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a nation is 14.5 months. One hu

ndred randomly selected​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a city in the nation had a mean length of imprisonment of 16.2 months.
At the 5​% significance​ level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean length of imprisonment for​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city differs from the national​ mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the lengths of imprisonment for​ motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city is 7.0 months.

Answer:

z=\frac{16.2-14.5}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{100}}}=2.429    

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =2*P(z>2.429)=0.015  

The p value for this case is lower than the significance level so then we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 14.5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=16.2 represent the sample mean

\sigma=7 represent the population standard deviation

n=100 sample size  

\mu_o =14.5 represent the value that we want to check

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We want to check if the true mean is different from 14.5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 14.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 14.5  

The statistic is given:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{16.2-14.5}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{100}}}=2.429    

The p value for this case is given by:

p_v =2*P(z>2.429)=0.015  

The p value for this case is lower than the significance level so then we can conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 14.5 months

What is 1556 rounded to the nearest thousand
fgiga [73]
Greetings!

"<span>What is 1556 rounded to the nearest thousand?"...

The thousand place value number is in bold: 1556.

Since the number to the right of the bold number is 5 or greater, we round up.

1556 rounded from the thousand place value is 2000.

Hope this helps.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so there is 32 kids....1/2 are blonde, 1/4 have black hair, 1/4 have brown hair

1/2(32) = 32/2 = 16 are blonde

1/4(32) = 32/4 = 8 have black hair

1/4(32) = 32/4 = 8 have brown hair

So I went from graph to slope intercept, So you take your x(Fat(g)) and your y(Calories) to solve.

The slope-intercept form for a line with the coordinates of (25,590) and (44,830) is:

y= 12.63x + 274.21

(results are in decimal form, rounded to the nearest 100th)

For Example: y=12.63(125)+274.21

y=1,852.96

Give one example of an equation with variables on both sides that has all real numbers as the solution. Also give an example of
Ghella [55]
1) 2x + 3 = 2x + 3
This works because if you solve it, you will get either x = x or 3 = 3 which are always true, so x, can have an infinite number of solutions
2) 3(x + 4) = 3x + 11
This has no solution because if you solve it, you're gonna get 12 = 11 and that is NEVER true. Whatever x is, 11 cannot equal 12!
