Researchers report that on average freshman who live on campus gain 15 pounds during their first year in college. You survey 10

of your friends and find that the average weight gain the first year was 16.2 lbs (s.d. = 2.6). How does weight gain among your friends compare to the national average? Please round to three decimal places. Compute the test statistic.

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

Resistors are labeled 100 Ω. In fact, the actual resistances are uniformly distributed on the interval (95, 103). Find the mean
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

E[R] = 99 Ω

\sigma_R = 2.3094 Ω

P(98<R<102) = 0.5696

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean resistance is the average of edge values of interval.

Hence,

The mean resistance, E[R] = \frac{a+b}{2}  = \frac{95+103}{2} = \frac{198}{2} = 99 Ω

To find the standard deviation of resistance, we need to find variance first.

V(R) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12} =\frac{(103-95)^2}{12} = 5.333

Hence,

The standard deviation of resistance, \sigma_R = \sqrt{V(R)} = \sqrt5.333 = 2.3094 Ω

To calculate the probability that resistance is between 98 Ω and 102 Ω, we need to find Normal Distributions.

z_1 = \frac{102-99}{2.3094} = 1.299

z_2 = \frac{98-99}{2.3094} = -0.433

From the Z-table, P(98<R<102) = 0.9032 - 0.3336 = 0.5696

How do you calculate a net worth statement?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

a. Assets - Liabilities

Step-by-step explanation:

Assets/Liabilities is a management method to minimize risk. So, it cannot be the answer.

There is no formula like "Assets + Liabilities" and "Assets x Liabilities" in accounting to calculate the net worth. Therefore, those can be eliminated.

We know that net worth is calculated by deducting all liabilities (long-term and short-term) from net assets. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
