A random sample of n1 = 49 measurements from a population with population standard deviation σ1 = 3 had a sample mean of x1 = 12

. An independent random sample of n2 = 64 measurements from a second population with population standard deviation σ2 = 4 had a sample mean of x2 = 14. Test the claim that the population means are different. Use level of significance 0.01.What distribution does the sample test statistic follow? Explain.

Answer:

We reject the null hypothesis that the population means are equal and accept the alternative hypothesis that the population means are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have large sample sizes n_{1} = 49 and n_{2} = 64, the unbiased point estimate for \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} is \bar{x}_{1} - \bar{x}_{2}, i.e., 12-14 = -2.

The standard error is given by \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}, i.e.,

\sqrt{\frac{(3)^{2}}{49}+\frac{(4)^{2}}{64}} = 0.6585.

We want to test H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} = 0 vs H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} \neq 0 (two-tailed alternative). The rejection region is given by RR = {z | z < -2.5758 or z > 2.5758} where -2.5758 and 2.5758 are the 0.5th and 99.5th quantiles of the standard normal distribution respectively. The test statistic is Z = \frac{\bar{x}_{1} - \bar{x}_{2}-0}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}} and the observed value is z_{0} = \frac{-2}{0.6585} = -3.0372. Because -3.0372  fall inside RR, we reject the null hypothesis.

The test statistic follow a standard normal distribution because we are dealing with large sample sizes.

Katarina [22]
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with either two opposite sides equal and parallel to each other. That is AB is parallel and equal to CD and AD parallel and equal to BC. Parallel lines have equal slopes.
Thus, AB slope is 2, while that of CD is also 2, therefore they are parallel to each other. In addition the modulus of AB and that of CD is the same thus they are equal in length.
AD slope is -1/2 while that of BC is also -1/2 therefore the two are parallel to each other. In addition they are equal in length therefore they are equal in length. 
Moreover AB is perpendicular to BC and AD (product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1)
Therefore, it can be concluded that Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.
