A neuroscientist measures the reaction times (in seconds) during an experimental session in a sample of cocaine-addicted (n = 8)

, morphine-addicted (n = 12), and heroin-addicted rats (n = 6). Mean reaction times in each sample were 11, 18, and 13 seconds, respectively. What is the weighted mean for all three samples? Hint: The overall mean is not 14.0 seconds. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

14.69 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weighted mean is used to calculate the mean of numbers which don't have the same "weight" or statistical relevance. In this case, that relevance is based on the sample size of each group from which the mean reaction times were obtained.

For all three samples, the weighted mean is obtaining by multiplying each one of the mean reaction times by its <em>n value, </em>adding them, and dividing that result by the sum of all n values.

WM=\frac{11*8+18*12+13*6}{8+12+6} =14.69\\

This is a well known joke:

Why six afraid of seven? Because seven ate nine!

It is supposed to be a "word game" where instead of writing eight, the authour wrote ate, which sound the same but means something different.


Hope it helped,

How do we do with this formula? Help me with A pls​
Ugo [173]

Gradient is the slope, which is the letter m in the equation.

The point is written as (x1, y1) so replace x1 and y1 in the equation with the numbers in the given point.

A would be y - 1= 2(x-4)

B: y +5 = 5(x-2)

C: y-1= -3(x+1)

D: y -6 = 1/2(x-1)

E: y +1/4 = -2(x-3:4)

F: y+7 = -1/5(x+ 3)

I need Geometry help!!!

Vertical angles are equal, so
.. 3x +8 = 5x -20
.. 28 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 20-3x
.. 14 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Each of the vertical angles is 3*14 +8 = 50°, so the supplementary one is 130°.
.. 5*14 +4y = 130
.. 4y = 60 . . . . . . . . subtract 70
.. y = 15 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The values of interest are
.. x = 14
.. y = 15
