A null hypothesis is that the mean nose lengths of men and women are the same. The alternative hypothesis is that men have a lon

ger mean nose length than women. A statistical test is done and the p-value is 0.225. Which of the following is the most appropriate way to state the conclusion? a. The mean nose lengths of the populations of men and women are identical. b. There is not enough evidence to say that the populations of men and women have different mean nose lengths. c. Men have a greater mean nose length. d. The probability is 0.225 that men and women have the same mean nose length

Answer:

b. There is not enough evidence to say that the populations of men and women have different mean nose lengths.

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the means for the two groups are different (men have longer mean nose length than women), the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{men} \leq \mu_{women}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{men} > \mu_{women}

Assuming that we know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X_{men}-\bar X_{women}}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{men}}{n_{men}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{women}}{n_{women}}}} (1)

z-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.

Let's assume that the calculated statistic is z_{calc}

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

p_v =P(Z>z_{calc})=0.225

And we know that the p value is 0.225. If we select a significance level for example 0.05 or 0.1 we see that p_v >\alpha

And on this case we have enough evidence to FAIl to reject the null hypothesis that the means are equal. So then the best conclusion would be:

b. There is not enough evidence to say that the populations of men and women have different mean nose lengths.

Hi, anyone know how to grow thick curly hair fast?
Anestetic [448]

im a boy so i looked it up on google here is what i found.



Use a wide-toothed comb, wash your hair in sections, dont wash your hair every day he tighter your curls, the less frequently your hair may need to be washed. If you do need to wash your hair more frequently, you can use a dry shampoo in between those washes.

Don’t “wash, rinse, and repeat”--that style advice may work for people with straighter hair, but it’s no good for those with curly hair. When you wash your hair, only wash it once, but make sure that it’s a thorough wash so that all dirt and oil is removed from your hair.

If needed, you can wash your hair with conditioner (called “co-washing”) in-between washes. That way you won't be harming your hair with sulfates, which are found in most shampoos.[1] Keep in mind that co-washing is great for retaining moisture but only mildly cleanses the hair.
