Answer:

a) P(-t_o < t_7

Using the symmetrical property we can write this like this:

1-2P(t_7

We can solve for the probability like this:

2P(t_7

P(t_7

And we can find the value using the following excel code: "=T.INV(0.05,7)"

So on this case the answer would be t_o =\pm 1.895

b) For this case we can use the complement rule and we got:

1-P(t_7

We can solve for the probability and we got:

P(t_7

And we can use the following excel code to find the value"=T.INV(0.95;7)"

And the answer would be t_o = 1.895

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The t distribution (Student’s t-distribution) is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.  

The degrees of freedom represent "the number of independent observations in a set of data. For example if we estimate a mean score from a single sample, the number of independent observations would be equal to the sample size minus one."

Solution to the problem

For this case we know that t \sim t(df=7)

And we want to find:

Part a

P(|t|

We can rewrite the expression using properties for the absolute value like this:

P(-t_o < t_7

Using the symmetrical property we can write this like this:

1-2P(t_7

We can solve for the probability like this:

2P(t_7

P(t_7

And we can find the value using the following excel code: "=T.INV(0.05,7)"

So on this case the answer would be t_o =\pm 1.895

Part b

P(t>t_o) =0.05

For this case we can use the complement rule and we got:

1-P(t_7

We can solve for the probability and we got:

P(t_7

And we can use the following excel code to find the value"=T.INV(0.95;7)"

And the answer would be t_o = 1.895

Need Help help me plz ;(
omeli [17]
So in order to solve you must first combine like terms.
-2y + 2y + 3 = 3
0 + 3 = 3
Subtract 3.
0 = 0
The answer is infinate solution because both numbers are the same.
I hope this helps love! :)

Given the equation 8x=4Y +16 ,generate a plan to rewrite it in slope-intercept form WHICH VARIABLE DO YOU SOLVE FOR?
andriy [413]

Answer:

you switch 8x and 4y by subtracting 8x to 4y + 16 and substracting 4y to 8x.

This gives you the equation -4y = -8x+16

Then you divide each side by -4

To give you your slope-intercept form which is y = 2x-4.
