A paper describes a study in which researchers observed wait times in coffee shops in Boston. Both wait time and gender of the c

ustomer were observed. The mean wait time for a sample of 145 male customers was 85.8 seconds. The mean wait time for a sample of 141 female customers was 113.4 seconds. The sample standard deviations (estimated from graphs that appeared in the paper) were 50 seconds for the sample of males and 75 seconds for the sample of females. For purposes of this exercise, suppose that these two samples are representative of the populations of wait times for female coffee shop customers and for male coffee shop customers. Is there convincing evidence that the mean wait time differs for males and females? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μmales − μfemales. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Answer:

t=\frac{85.8-113.4}{\sqrt{\frac{(50)^2}{145}+\frac{(75)^2}{141}}}}=-3.65  

p_v =2*P(t_{(284)}

Using Excel we can use the following code: "=2*T.DIST(-3.65;284;TRUE)"

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level giveen \alpha=0.05 always p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that the means are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

\bar X_{M}=85.8 represent the mean for the males

\bar X_{F}=113.4 represent the mean for females

s_{M}=50 represent the sample standard deviation for males

s_{F}=75 represent the sample standard deviation for female

n_{M}=145 sample size for the group poisoned

n_{F}=141 sample size for the group unpoisoned

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for the two groups are equal or not , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{M} = \mu_{F}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{M} \neq \mu_{F}

If we analyze the size for the samples both are higher than 30 but the population deviations are not given, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{M}-\bar X_{F}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{M}}{n_{M}}+\frac{s^2_{F}}{n_{F}}}} (1)

t-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.

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the results obtained like this:

t=\frac{85.8-113.4}{\sqrt{\frac{(50)^2}{145}+\frac{(75)^2}{141}}}}=-3.65  

4) Statistical decision

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{M}+n_{F}-2=145+141-2=284

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

p_v =2*P(t_{(284)}

Using Excel we can use the following code: "=2*T.DIST(-3.65;284;TRUE)"

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level giveen \alpha=0.05 always p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that the means are different.

Hannah claims that people who live in southern states spend 9 hours more per week outside than do people in northern states. She
Aneli [31]

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

Which of the following statements about Hannah’s claim is supported by the interval?

A) Hannah is likely to be incorrect because the difference in the sample means was 18.6−14.4=4.218.6−14.4=4.2 hours.

B) Hannah is likely to be incorrect because 9 is not contained in the interval.

 C)The probability that Hannah is correct is 0.99 because 9 is not contained in the interval.

 D)The probability that Hannah is correct is 0.01 because 9 is not contained in the interval.

 E)Hannah is likely to be correct because the difference in the sample means (18.6−14.4=4.2)(18.6−14.4=4.2) is contained in the interval.

Answer :  Hannah is likely to be incorrect because 9 is not contained in the interval. ( B )

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is supported by the interval in Hannah's claim is that

Hannah is likely to be incorrect because 9 is not contained in the interval.

G(x) f(x) = −6x − 3 cosine function with y intercept at 0, negative 3 h(x) = 2 cos(x + π) − 1 Using complete sentences, explain
kicyunya [14]

A function assigns the values. The function that has the greatest y-intercept is h(x).

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

There are three function, g(x){given in the graph below}, f(x)= -6x-3, and -3h(x) = 2 cos(x + π) − 1, the y-intercept of the function is the point at which the graph intersects the y-axis. Therefore, the y-intercept are,

g(x) = -3

f(x) = -3

h(x) = 1

Hence, the function that has the greatest y-intercept is h(x).
