Answer: 1.460

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Researchers report that on average freshman who live on campus gain 15 pounds during their first year in college.

Let \mu represents the population mean .

Then, the set of hypothesis will be:-

H_0: \mu=15

H_a:\mu\neq15

We assume that this is normal distribution.

Sample size : n = 10, which is a small sample (n<30) ,s o we use t-test.

Sample mean : \overliene{x}=16.2\ lbs

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.6

The test statistic for population mean for small sample is given by :-

t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t=\dfrac{16.2-15}{\dfrac{2.6}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.45951276623\approx1.460

Hence , the value of test statistic = 1.460

slavikrds [6]
I think its about 62 hours because you multiply the 185 days by 20 minutes and get 3,700 so you divide that by 60 and get 61.6666667. so the answer is 62 hours?

While multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1,000 and so on, just move the decimal to the right by how many zeros you have in the number. Let’s say I have 7.9 x 10. Move the decimal one place to the right because you have ONE zero. Then your answer would be 79.
