Answer:
The point estimate for is 8.5 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
In this problem
We are working with a sample of 81 adults, so the point estimae of the mean is the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home.
So, the point estimate for is 8.5 hours.
Answer:
1.7 × 10⁻⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
The question relates to a two sample z-test for the comparison between the means of the two samples
The null hypothesis is H₀: μ₁ ≤ μ₂
The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: μ₁ > μ₂
Where;
= 13.5
= 12
σ₁ = 2.5
σ₂ = 1.5
We set our α level at 0.05
Therefore, our critical z = ± 1.96
For n₁ = n₂ = 23, we have;
We reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.05, as our z-value, 3.5969 is larger than the critical z, 1.96 or mathematically, since 3.5969 > 1.96
Therefore, there is enough statistical evidence to suggest that Alyse time is larger than Jocelyn in a 1 mile race on a randomly select day and the probability that Alyse has a larger time than Jocelyn is 0.99983
Therefore;
The probability that Alyse has a smaller time than Jocelyn is 1 - 0.99983 = 0.00017 = 1.7 × 10⁻⁴.
