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

What ere the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-1,7) to (7,7) that partitions the segment into a ratio
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

(\frac{37}{11},\frac{77}{11}  )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points are (-1,7) and (7,7).

We are told to find a point which is in between them at a ratio of 6:5.

Formula for calculating a point at distance of ratio m:n is given by

(\frac{mx2+nx1}{m+n} ,\frac{my2+ny1}{m+n} )

where (x1,y1),(x2,y2) are the inital and final points.

(x1,y1)=(-1,7)\\\\(x2,y2)=(7,7)

also m:n=6:5 ,

by substituting all the values we get,

(\frac{6*7+5*-1}{11} ,\frac{6*7+5*7}{11} )

(\frac{37}{11},\frac{77}{11}  )

What are the zeros of the function? h(x)=x^3−2x^2−3x
maksim [4K]
To find the zeroes you make the function equal to zero and then solve. 
0=x^3-2x^2-3x
Then factor out the x to get a quadratic inside the parentheses.
 0=x(x^2-2x-3)
Factor the inside quadratic formula.
x(x^2-2x-3)=x((x-3)(x+1))
Lastly, use the zero product property to solve.
x*(x-3)*(x+1)=0
x=0,x=3,x=-1
