A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain sca

le before and after hypnosis. Assume that the paired sample data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Construct a​ 95% confidence interval for the mean of the​"before minus−​after"differences. Does hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing​pain?Before6.42.67.710.511.75.84.32.8After6.72.47.48.18.66.43.92.7

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference would be given by (-1.776;0.376)

We are 95% confidence that the true mean difference is between -1.776 \leq \mu_d \leq 0.376. Since the confidence interval contains the value 0, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Let put some notation  

x=test value before , y = test value after

x: 6.4 2.6 7.7 10.5 11.7 5.8 4.3 2.8

y: 6.7 2.4 7.4 8.1 8.6 6.4 3.9 2.7

The differences defined as d_i = y_i -x_i and we got:

d: 0.3, -0.2, -0.3, -2.4, -3.1, 0.6, -0.4, -0.1

We can calculate the mean and the deviation for the sample with the following formulas:

\bar d=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}

\bar d=-0.7 represent the sample mean for the difference

\mu_d population mean (variable of interest)

s_d=1.32 represent the sample standard deviation

n=8 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2} *\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}  (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,8)".And we see that t_(\alpha/2)=2.306

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

-0.7-2.306\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{8}}=-1.776    

-0.7+2.306\frac{1.32}{\sqrt{8}}=0.376    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval for the difference would be given by (-1.776;0.376)

We are 95% confidence that the true mean difference is between -1.776 \leq \mu_d \leq 0.376. Since the confidence interval contains the value 0, we don't have enough evidence to conclude that hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain.

Gelneren [198K]

Sagot:

100 cm

Hakbang-hakbang na paliwanag:

Kung ganoon :

Distansya na sakop ng Ruben = 900 centimetri

Distansya na sakop ng Jamie = 10 metro

Pagko-convert sa centimeter:

100 cm = 1 m

x cm = 10 m

Paggamit ng multiplikasyon ng krus:

x = 100 * 10

x = 1000 cm.

Dahil dito Distansya ni Jamie = 1000 cm

Distansya sa pagitan ng Jamie at Ruben;

1000 cm - 900 cm = 100 cm

  • [Right Triangles Only]: Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length.

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

Leg <em>a</em> = 8

Leg <em>b</em> = 8

Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = <em>x</em>

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute [PT]:                    8² + 8² = x²
  2. Exponents:                           64 + 64 = x²
  3. Add:                                      128 = x²
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                               8√2 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                x = 8√2
