Answer:

t=\frac{(8230-7960)-0}{114.892\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}}}}=3.718  

df=n_A +n_{B}-2=5+5-2=8

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{8}>3.718)=2*(1-P(t_{31}  

Comparing the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that we have significant differences between the two groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

MINE 1 8260 8130 8350 8070 8340  (A)

MINE 2 7950 7890 7900 8140 7920  (B)

\bar X_{A}=8230 represent the mean for the sample A

\bar X_{B}=7960 represent the mean for the sample B

s_{A}=125.50 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample A

s_{B}=103.20 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample B

n_{A}=5 sample size selected A

n_{B}=5 sample size selected B

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Null hypothesis:\mu_{A}-\mu_{B}= 0  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B}\neq 0  

We don't have the population standard deviation's but we assume that the population deviation is equal for both populations, so we can apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{(\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B})-\Delta}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{A}}+\frac{1}{n_{B}}}} (1)  

Where s_p represent the standard deviation pooled given by:

s_p =\sqrt{\frac{(n_A -1)s^2_A +(n_B -1)s^2_B}{n_A +n_B -2}}

s_p =\sqrt{\frac{(5 -1)(125.5)^2 +(5-1)(103.2)^2}{5 +5 -2}}=114.892

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.  

With the info given we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

t=\frac{(8230-7960)-0}{114.892\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}}}}=3.718  

P value  

We need to find first the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n_A +n_{B}-2=5+5-2=8

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{8}>3.718)=2*(1-P(t_{31}  

Comparing the p value with a significance level for example \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that we have significant differences between the two groups.

Why do systems of nonlinear equations sometimes have more than one solution​
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

System of two linear equations can't have exactly two solutions. Reason is that when we have two straight lines,they can only intersect at one point of intersection,no more. Or let's see if lines are equivalent,then they have infinitely many solutions,because any point on line can be solution for the system.

The two triangles shown are congruent.<br> Find the value of x
shusha [124]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

right triangle ABC

using Pythagoras' identity

BC² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )

BC = \sqrt{625} = 25

Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides are congruent.

ST = BC , that is

3x - 8 = 25 ( add 8 to both sides )

3x = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 11

1000+50-36+7×9+8÷5×2+1​
melomori [17]

Answer:

949.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you must use P.E.M.D.A.S...

First, solve 7x9 and 5x2...

7x9= 63  5x2 = 10

So...

1000+50-36+63+8÷10+1

Next, solve 8÷10 and get 0.8

So...

1000+50-36+63+0.8+1

Then, solve 1000 + 50, and 36+63, and that result with 0.8 and that with 1.

So...

1050-100.8

The Solve!

949.2

Hope this helps!

Help me pls i have been stuck on this for the past hour
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

-4, -6, -3, -5, -1. The inequality solved for n is n ≥ -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute all the values in the equation.

n/2 ≥ -3

-10/2 ≥ -3

-5 is not ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-7/2 ≥ -3

-3.5 is not ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-4/2 ≥ -3

-2 is ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-9/2 ≥ -3

-4.5 is not ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-6/2 ≥ -3

-3 is ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-3/2 ≥ -3

-1.5 is ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-8/2 ≥ -3

-4 is not ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-5/2 ≥ -3

-2.5 is ≥ -3.

n/2 ≥ -3

-2/2 ≥ -3

-1 is ≥ -3.

To solve the inequality n/2 ≥ -3 for n, do these steps.

n/2 ≥ -3

Multiply by 2.

n ≥ -6.
