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.

Nady [450]

Do you notice anything strange about those points ?

(0, 1), 
(1, 2), 
(2, 4),
(3, 8).

The y-coordinate of each point is (2) raised to the  power of the x-coordinate.

First point:       x=0,  y=2⁰ = 1
Second point: x=1,  y=2¹ = 2
Third point:      x=2,  y=2² = 4
Fourth point:    x=3,  y=2³ = 8


The equation of the curve appears to be

                               y = 2 ^ x .

So, after 10 hours,  x=10, and  y = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 .

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The experimental probability would be equal to the number of times the event happened over the number of times it was attempted. In this case, the experiment was tried 48 times, and only 6 times did it land on 2. The experimental probability is 6/48, which simplified to 1/8.
