A committee at the College Board has been asked to study the SAT math scores for students in Pennsylvania and Ohio. A sample of

45 students from Pennsylvania had an average score of 580, whereas a sample of 38 students had an average score of 530. The sample standard deviations for Pennsylvania and Ohio are 105 and 114 respectively. Does the study suggest that the SAT math score for students in Pennsylvania and Ohio differ

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

H_0 :\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0   (i.e. there is no difference between the SAT score for students in both locations)

H_1 :\mu_1 -\mu_2 \geq0 (i.e. there is a difference between the SAT score for students in both locations)

The test statistics using the students' t-test  for the two-samples; we have:

t = \dfrac{\overline x_1 -\overline x_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2} } }

t = \dfrac{580 -530}{\sqrt{\dfrac{105^2}{45}+\dfrac{114^2}{38} } }

t = \dfrac{50}{\sqrt{\dfrac{11025}{45}+\dfrac{12996}{38} } }

t = \dfrac{50}{\sqrt{245+342 } }

t = \dfrac{50}{\sqrt{587} }

t = \dfrac{50}{24.228}

t = 2.06

degree of freedom = (n_1 + n_2 ) -2

degree of freedom = (45+38) -2

degree of freedom = 81

Using the level of significance of 0.05

Since the test is two-tailed at the degree of freedom 81 and t = 2.06

The p-value  = 0.0426

Decision rule: To reject H_o  if the p-value is less than the significance level

Conclusion: We reject the H_o , thus, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference between the SAT math score for students in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Hi there!

quarter:18

<u><em>1.Find common denominator in 4 and 1/2:</em></u>

dsp73

Answer:

21 pieces of chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The farmer has a total of 40 animals. ( cows and chicken )

He counts the legs of all his animals and realizes he has a total of 118 legs.

Question asked:

How many chickens does the farmer have ?

Solution:

Let number of chickens = x

Then  number of cows = 40-x

Now, as here given that total number of legs are 118 of all the animals, and as we know that a chicken has two legs and cow has four legs, hence the equation will be :

<u>Total number of legs = Number of legs having chickens + Number of legs having cows</u>

118 = 2x+4(40-x)\\118=2x+160-4x

118=-2x+160

Subtracting both sides by 160

-42=-2x

By adding both sides by minus

42 = 2x\\

By dividing both sides by 2

x =21

Hence, farmer have 21 pieces of chickens.
