Answer:

E_{A} =0.25*160=40  

E_{B} =0.25*160=40

E_{C} =0.4*160=64

E_{D} =0.05*160=8  

E_{F} =0.05*160=8  

And now we can calculate the statistic:  

\chi^2 = \frac{(36-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(42-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(60-64)^2}{64}+\frac{(14-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(8-8)^2}{8} =5.25  

The answer would be:

c. 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The observed values are given by:

A: 36

B: 42

C: 60

D: 14

E: 8

Total =160

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:  

H0: There is no difference in the proportions for the final grades

H1: There is a difference in the proportions for the final grades

The level of significance assumed for this case is \alpha=0.01  

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:  

\chi^2 =\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}  

Now we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula E_i = \% * total  

And the calculations are given by:  

E_{A} =0.25*160=40  

E_{B} =0.25*160=40

E_{C} =0.4*160=64

E_{D} =0.05*160=8  

E_{F} =0.05*160=8  

And now we can calculate the statistic:  

\chi^2 = \frac{(36-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(42-40)^2}{40}+\frac{(60-64)^2}{64}+\frac{(14-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(8-8)^2}{8} =5.25  

The answer would be:

c. 5.25

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:  

df=(categories-1)=(5-1)=4

And we can calculate the p value given by:  

p_v = P(\chi^2_{4} >5.25)=0.263  

The p value is higher than the significance so we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis

What is the product? (negative 3 s + 2 t)(4 s minus t)
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

-12s^2 + 11st - 2t^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3s + 2t)(4s - t)

= -3s(4s - t) + 2t(4s - t)

= -12s^2 + 3st + 8st - 2t^2

= -12s^2 + 11st - 2t^2.

A set of data has the trend line modeled by the equation Y =1.5x + 11. What value of X corresponds to y =56?
erica [24]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 56 in place of  y, then solve for x.

56 = 1.5x + 11

Subtract 11.

45 = 1.5x

Divide both sides by 1.5.

45/1.5 = x

30 = x
