The students' attitudes were measured by administering the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS). A random sample of 11 nursing s

tudents from Group 1 resulted in a mean score of 63.3 with a standard deviation of 3.7. A random sample of 13 nursing students from Group 2 resulted in a mean score of 70.2 with a standard deviation of 6.6. Can you conclude that the mean score for Group 1 is significantly lower than the mean score for Group 2? Let μ1 represent the mean score for Group 1 and μ2 represent the mean score for Group 2. Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.

Answer:

There is enough evidence to claim that population mean 1 is less than population 2  at the 0.05 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Group 1:

\mu_1 = 63.3\\\sigma_1 = 3.7\\n_1 = 11

Group 2:

\mu_2 = 70.2\\\sigma_2 = 6.6\\n_2 = 13

Alpha, α = 0.05

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu_1 \geq \mu_2\\H_A: \mu_1 < \mu_2

Since, the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed, we use t-test(pooled test) for difference of two means.

Formula:

Pooled standard deviation

s_p = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{(n_1-1)\sigma_1^2 + (n_2-1)\sigma_2^2 }{n_1 + n_2 - 2}}

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\mu_1-\mu_2}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}

\text{Degree of freedom} = n_1 + n_2 - 2

Putting all the values we get:

s_p = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{(11-1)(3.7)^2 + (13-1)(6.6)^2 }{11 + 13 - 2}} = \sqrt{29.9827} = 5.48

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{63.3-70.2}{5.48\sqrt{\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{13}}} = -3.073

\text{Degree of freedom} = 11 + 13 - 2 = 22

Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 22 degree of freedom } = -1.717

Since,

t_{stat} < t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that the mean score for Group 1 is significantly lower than the mean score for Group 2.

There is enough evidence to claim that population mean 1 is less than population 2  at the 0.05 significance level.

0.27 (repeating) into a fraction. Simplify if needed.
WARRIOR [948]
Dont ask me why...I cant really explain it...but if u have 1 repeating decimal, u put it over 9. If u have 2 repeating decimals, u put it over 99....3 repeating decimals, put it over 999.

Examples :
0.7 (repeating) = 7/9
0.27 (repeating) = 27/99 when simplified = 3/11 <===
0.444 (repeating = 444/999
