Answer:

(a) P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) = 0.9909                    (b) P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) = 0.0091

(c) P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) = 0.1112                      (d) P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35)  = 0.1288

(e) P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55)  = 0.0705       (f) P (<em>Z</em> > 3) = 0.0014

(g) P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) = 0.9995                   (h) P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) = 0.9999.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a random variable, X \sim N (\mu, \sigma^{2}), then Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}, is a standard normal variate with mean, E (<em>Z</em>) = 0 and Var (<em>Z</em>) = 1. That is, Z \sim N (0, 1).

In statistics, a standardized score is the number of standard deviations an observation or data point is above the mean.  The <em>z</em>-scores are standardized scores.

The distribution of these <em>z</em>-scores is known as the standard normal distribution.

(a)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) = 0.99086

                   ≈ 0.9909

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36) is 0.9909.

(b)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) = 1 - P (<em>Z</em> < 2.36)

                   = 1 - 0.99086

                   = 0.00914

                   ≈ 0.0091

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 2.36) is 0.0091.

(c)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) = 0.11123

                   ≈ 0.1112

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> < -1.22) is 0.1112.

(d)

Compute the value of P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35) as follows:

P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35) = P (<em>Z</em> < 3.35) - P (<em>Z</em> < 1.13)

                            = 0.99960 - 0.87076

                            = 0.12884

                            ≈ 0.1288

Thus, the value of P (1.13 < <em>Z</em> > 3.35)  is 0.1288.

(e)

Compute the value of P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55) as follows:

P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55) = P (<em>Z</em> < -0.55) - P (<em>Z</em> < -0.77)

                                = 0.29116 - 0.22065

                                = 0.07051

                                ≈ 0.0705

Thus, the value of P (-0.77< <em>Z</em> > -0.55)  is 0.0705.

(f)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 3) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> > 3) = 1 - P (<em>Z</em> < 3)

             = 1 - 0.99865

             = 0.00135

             ≈ 0.0014

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> > 3) is 0.0014.

(g)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) = P (<em>Z</em> < 3.28)

                    = 0.99948

                    ≈ 0.9995

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> > -3.28) is 0.9995.

(h)

Compute the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) as follows:

P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) = 0.99999

                   ≈ 0.9999

Thus, the value of P (<em>Z</em> < 4.98) is 0.9999.

**Use the <em>z</em>-table for the probabilities.

A researcher records the amount of time (in minutes) that parent child pairs spend on social networking sites to test whether th
ki77a [65]

Answer:

(a) A matched pair design is used to perform the test.

(b) Each sample is of size 30.

(c) The null hypothesis is rejected.

(d) The effect size of the test is medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistical experiment is performed to determine whether the amount of time (in minutes) that parent-child pairs spend on social networking sites to test show any generational differences.

<u>Given</u>:

MD = -42 minutes

t₍₂₉₎ = 4.021

p < 0.05

d = 0.49

The hypothesis is:

<em>H₀</em>: There is no difference between the means, i.e. <em>μ₁</em> = <em>μ₂</em>.

<em>Hₐ</em>: There is a significant difference between the means, i.e. <em>μ₁</em> ≠ <em>μ₂</em>.

(a)

A matched pair design is used to perform the test.

In a matched pair design the participant of the two groups are related in some way. For example, the same sample is tested before and after applying the treatment.

In this case the matched are pairs are of children and their parents. And the treatment is the amount of time spent on social networking sites.

(b)

The degrees of freedom of a matched pair design is:

df = n - 1

29 = n - 1

n = 29 + 1

n = 30

Thus, each sample is of size 30.

(c)

The <em>p</em>-value of the test statistic is < 0.05.

If the <em>p</em>-value is less than the significance level <em>α </em>(say, 0.05) then the null hypothesis is rejected and vise-versa.

Since <em>p</em> < 0.05 the null hypothesis is rejected concluding that there is a significant difference between the amount of time spent on social networking sites by parents and children.

(d)

The estimated value of Cohen's d is, <em>d</em> = 0.49.

A Cohen's d value between the range 0.50 to 0.80 is considered as medium.

Thus, the effect size of the test is medium.

Given: △KLM, LM=20 3 <br> m∠L=105°, m∠M=30°<br> Find: KL and KM
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Split the triangle into a 30-60-90 triangle. Since you have LM from that triangle, you can figure out the other sides. Then, using the leg from that triangle, the one next to it is a 45-45-90 triangle, meaning it's isosceles.

KM = 30 + 10√3

KL = 10√6
