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

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints A and B.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h2>( 6 , 7 )</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )\\

From the question we have

m = ( \frac{2 + 10}{2} \:  , \:  \frac{6 + 8}{2} ) \\  =  (\frac{12}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{14}{2} ) \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

We have the final answer as

<h3>( 6 , 7 )</h3>

Hope this helps you

46.The function f graphed above is the function f(x) = log2(x) + 2 for x &gt; 0. Find a formula for the inverse of this function
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The inverse for log₂(x) + 2  is - log₂x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

f(x) = log₂(x) + 2

Now to find the inverse of any function we put we replace x by 1/x.

f(x) = log₂(x) + 2

f(1/x) =g(x)= log₂(1/x) + 2

As we know that

log₂(a/b) = log₂a - log₂b

g(x) = log₂1 - log₂x + 2

We know that  log₂1 = 0

g(x) = 0 - log₂x + 2

g(x) =  - log₂x + 2

So the inverse for log₂(x) + 2  is - log₂x + 2.
