A cognitive psychologist wants to know whether memory performance is changed by old age. She randomly selects 7 elderly individu

als and finds that their mean score on a standardized memory test equals 418.2. Scores on the standardized test in the general population are distributed normally with a mean equal to 465.6 and a standard deviation equal to 53.6 . Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that memory performance for elderly individuals differs from that of the general population

Answer:

z = \frac{418.7-465.6}{\frac{53.6}{\sqrt{7}}}= -2.340

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability

p_v =2*P(z

If we use the commonly significance level of 0.05 we see that the p value is lower than these values we can conclude that the true mean is different from the value of 465.6 at 5% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

\bar X=418.7 represent the mean score on the standardized memory test

\sigma=53.6 represent the population standard deviation

n=7 sample size    

\mu_o =465.6 represent the value that we want to verify

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We are interested to check if the memory performance for elderly individuals differs from that of the general population (mean different from 465.6), the system of hypothesis are then:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 465.6    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 465.6    

Since we know the population deviation we can use the z statistic from the z test for the true mean:

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

Replacing the info given we got:

z = \frac{418.7-465.6}{\frac{53.6}{\sqrt{7}}}= -2.340

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability

p_v =2*P(z

If we use the commonly significance level of 0.05 we see that the p value is lower than these values we can conclude that the true mean is different from the value of 465.6 at 5% of significance

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.

You are the coach of a basketball team that is currently looking for new players. One of the criteria for selection as a player
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

C = 75 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Assume that the height of all people follows a normal distribution with a mean of 69 in and a standard deviation of 2.9 in.

This means that \mu = 69, \sigma = 2.9

Calculate the cut-off height (C) that ensures only people within the top 2.5% height bracket are allowed into the team.

This is the 100 - 2.5 = 97.5th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.96 = \frac{X - 69}{2.9}

X - 69 = 1.96*2.9

X = 74.7

Rounded to the nearest inch,

C = 75 in
