The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was 47.6 years for whites born in 1900 and 33.0 years

for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in a certain county. Of the 124 whites, the mean life span was 45.3 years with a standard deviation of 12.7 years. Of the 82 nonwhites, the mean life span was 34.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.6 years.
Required:
a. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites.
b. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
c. Which distribution (normal or Student's t) would you use for this hypothesis test?
d. Calculate the test statistic and p-value.
e. Does it appear that the means are the same? Why or why not?

Answer:

b. The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0

c. Student's t distribution, as it is a two-sample test for the difference between means.

d. Test statistic t = 5.42.

P-value = 0

e. They appear to be significantly different, as the sample data gives strong evidence that the difference is greater than 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between populations means.

The claim is that the mean life spans in the county is significantly different for whites and nonwhites.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (white), of size n1=124 has a mean of 45.3 and a standard deviation of 12.7.

The sample 2 (non-white), of size n2=82 has a mean of 34.1 and a standard deviation of 15.6.

The difference between sample means is Md=11.2.

M_d=M_1-M_2=45.3-34.1=11.2

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{12.7^2}{124}+\dfrac{15.6^2}{82}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{1.301+2.968}=\sqrt{4.269}=2.066

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{11.2-0}{2.066}=\dfrac{11.2}{2.066}=5.42

The degrees of freedom for this test are:

df=n_1+n_2-2=124+82-2=204

This test is a two-tailed test, with 204 degrees of freedom and t=5.42, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>5.42)=0.0000002

As the P-value (0.0000002) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean life spans in the county is significantly different for whites and nonwhites.

PLEASE HELP ALMOST FINISHING ALBERA 1 PUT I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE I BEG YOU BRAINLEST ANSWER!!!
tester [92]
59  is D 
because  with the point (-3,7) you substitute it into the equation, making it: 7=4x+b.  solve for b.  then you have y=4x+19.     work out the algebra in the possible choices and whatever equals y=4x+19 will be the answer. in this case, its D.


60 is C
same as above, you do the algebra of the equation. bring the one over after doing distribution with the 4 and voila!


61 is A
a relatively easy one, all you do is the the slope -4 where m goes, and 3 where b goes. y= -4x+3


62 is C.
this one requires more work.
chose one of the points, in this case (2,7) and put them into the equation. 
but wait, you need a slope! 
you get that use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) which will be
(7-5)/(2-3) which will be
-2.
now you have y-7= -2(x-2)
voila!



63 is  C.   y= 1/2x+3

64 is B. (3, -5)

66 is B. negative. the line  goes \ ( not / which is positive)

67 would be A. because it is positive and the I and the E are in the right places.


70 is C.  2/3.   as before, remember we can but the points into this equation and have (6-4)/(3-0) which = 2/3


71  is D.  y= 3x+10

72 is C. a third degree monomial

It's 12/35 because tangent is opposite over adjacent, so 12 is opposite of angle M and 35 is adjacent of angle M

If you want to remember cosine, sine, and tangent just remember

What is the sum of x + 9?
vovikov84 [41]
So 30/48=15/(x+9)
this could be easily solved by recognizing the proportion (the other way is usiing full  algebra and doing multiply both sides by 48(x+9) and then divide both sides by 30 then subtract 9)
30 is 2 times of 15
therefor 48 is 2 times of (x+9)
48=2 times (x+9)
divide both sides by 2
24=x+9
subtract 9
15=x

x=15
