Tennis elbow is thought to be aggravated by the impact experienced when hitting the ball. The article "Forces on the Hand in the

Tennis One-Handed Backhand" (Int. J. of Sport Biomechanics (1991) reported the force (N) on the hand just after impact on a one- handed backhand drive for six advanced players and for eight intermediate players.
Advanced 44.70 26.31 55.75 28.54 46.99 39.46

Intermediate 15.58 19.16 24.13 10.56 32.88 21.47 14.32 33.09

1. Do the data shown above indicate that the mean force after impact is greater for advanced tennis players than it is for intermediate players?

2. Do a hypothesis test at .05 confidence level.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective is to study whether there is a greater force after impacting on one- handed backhand drive in advanced tennis players than in intermediate tennis players.

Sample 1: Advanced tennis players

X₁: Force (N) on the hand just after impact on a one- handed backhand drive for an advanced tennis player.

n₁= 6

X[bar]₁= 40.29 N

S₁= 11.29

Sample 2: Intermediate players

X₂: Force (N) on the hand just after impact on a one- handed backhand drive for an intermediate tennis player.

n₂= 8

X[bar]₂= 21.40

S₂= 8.30

Assuming that both variables have a normal distribution and both population variances are equal, to compare these two populations is best to do so trough their population means using a t-test for independent samples.

If the force is greater for the advanced players than for the intermediate players, then you'd expect the population mean for the advanced players to be greater than the population mean for the intermediate players:

H₀: μ₁ ≤ μ₂

H₁: μ₁ > μ₂

α: 0.05

t= \frac{(X_[bar]_1-X[bar]_2)-(Mu_1-Mu_2)}{Sa\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } } ~~t_{n_1+n_2-2}

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{5*127.51+7*68.92}{6+8-2} }= 9.66

t_{H_0}= \frac{(40.29-21.40)-0}{9.66\sqrt{\frac{1}{6} +\frac{1}{8} } } = 3.62

Using the p-value approach, the decision rule is

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis

The p-value for this test is 0.00024, it is less than the level of significance, so the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that at a 5% significance level you can conclude that the average force experienced on the hand after a one-handed backhand drive for advanced players is greater than the average force experienced on the hand after a one-handed backhand drive for intermediate players.

I hope this helps!

Solve the system of equation by the addition method x-2y=11 and -x+6y =-31
Sonbull [250]

Answer: x = 1, y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear equations is expressed as

x - 2y = 11- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

- x + 6y = - 31- - - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 2. It becomes

- 2y + 6y = 11 - 31

4y = - 20

Dividing the the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes

4y/4 = - 20/4

y = - 5

Substituting y = - 5 into equation 1, it becomes

x - 2 × - 5 = 11

x + 10 = 11

Subtracting 10 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10

x = 1

Someone please help me with this
Nadusha1986 [10]
Since 2 sides of the triangle are the same, it's an isosceles triangle.
That would also mean that the two angles are the same; 70 and 70.

A triangle has 180 degrees total.

70 + 70 + x = 180
x = 40
