Suppose a university advertises that its average class size is 34 or less. A student organization is concerned that budget cuts

have led to increased class sizes and would like to test this claim. A random sample of 43 classes was​ selected, and the average class size was found to be 35.6 students. Assume that the standard deviation for class size at the college is 9 students. Using α=0.10​, complete part a below.
a. Does the student organization have enough evidence to refute the​ college's claim?

Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0​: μ ____ (greater than or equals≥ less than or equals≤ greater than> not equals≠ equals= less than<)

H1​: μ ____ (equals= less than or equals≤ greater than or equals≥ less than< greater than> not equals≠)

The​ z-test statistic is ____

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

The critical​ z-score(s) is(are) ____.

​(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)

Because the test statistic _____________ (does not fall within the critical values, is greater than the critical value, is less than the critical value, falls within the critical values)

______(do not reject, reject) the null hypothesis.

Answer:

H0​: μ ≤ 34

H1​: μ > 34

The​ z-test statistic is ≈ 1.8

The critical​ z-score is 1.28

we fail to reject the null hypothesis H0​: μ ≤ 34

Step-by-step explanation:

H0​: μ ≤ 34

H1​: μ > 34

The​ z-test statistic is calculated using the formula:

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the average class size found in the sample (35.6)
  • M is the mean according to the null hypothesis (34)
  • s is the standard deviation for class size (9)

then z= \frac{35.6-34}{9} ≈ 0.18

The critical​ z-score is 1.28 for α=0.10​ (one tailed)

Because the test statistic is less than the critical value, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The given line passes through the points (0, −3) and (2, 3).
Alex Ar [27]
Well, parallel lines have the same exact slope, so hmmm what's the slope of the one that runs through <span>(0, −3) and (2, 3)?

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 0 &,& -3~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 2 &,& 3~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-(-3)}{2-0}\implies \cfrac{3+3}{2-0}\implies 3
<span>
so, we're really looking for a line whose slope is 3, and runs through -1, -1

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -1 &,& -1~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies 3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-1)=3[x-(-1)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y+1=3(x+1)<span>
</span>

Ricardo spends 8/9 hr. reading the paper. He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news and splits the remaining time equally bet
lapo4ka [179]
Total time spent reading is = 8/9 hour

He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news. That is =  1/4 * 8/9 =  2/9 hour

Splits the remaining time equally.  Remaining time =  8/9 - 2/9 =  6/9

Splitting it equally =  6/9  divided by 2 =  6/9  * 1/2 =  3/9  = 1/3

Time spent reading comic is = 1/3 hour

I hope this helps.
