Researchers fed mice a specific amount of Toxaphene, a poisonous pesticide, and studied their nervous systems to find out why To

xaphene causes tremors. The absolute refractory period, time required for nerves to recover after a stimulus, was measured and varies Normally. The measurements, in milliseconds, for four mice were 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0.
Part A: Find the mean refractory period and the standard error of the mean.

Part B: Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean absolute refractory period for all mice when subjected to the same treatment.

Part C: Suppose the mean absolute refractory period for unpoisoned mice is known to be 1.3 milliseconds. Toxaphene poisoning should slow nerve recovery and therefore increase this period. Do the data give good evidence to support this theory? What can you conclude from a hypothesis test? Justify your response with statistical reasoning.

Answer:

a. The mean refractory period= 1.85 and the standard error = 0.06455

b.  90% confidence interval for the mean absolute refractory period for all mice when subjected to the same treatment = 1.6981, 2.0019

c. Yes, the data give good evidence to support this theory

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  The table below shows the calculations:

                 X                (X-mean)^2

                1.7             0.0225

                1.8                 0.0025

                1.9                 0.0025

                2.0                 0.0225

Total        7.4                  0.05

Sample size: n=4

The mean is:  \bar{x} = \frac{7.4}{4} = 1.85

The sample standard deviation, s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum \left ( x-\bar{x} \right )^{2}}{n-1}}=0.1291

The standard error, se= \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{0.1291}{2} = 0.06455

b. Degree of freedom: df = n-1 = 3

Critical value of t for 90% confidence interval is: 2.3534

The confidence interval is  \bar{x}\pm t_{c}se = 1.85\pm 2.3534\cdot 0.06455=1.85\pm 0.1519 = (1.6981, 2.0019)

c. The Hypotheses are:

H_{0}:\mu=1.3,H_{1}:\mu>1.3

So the test statistics will be

t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=8.52

The p-value is: 0.0017

We reject the null hypothesis because p-value is less than 0.05 . This indicates that the data gave good evidence to support this theory.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

1) It would be about a 55% increase. 2) It would be about a 79% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

I used process of elimination to figure out how much of a percentage would be needed by just multiplying 210 by different percentages until I found the answer.

Sorry I don't have like a definite formula or anything for you to figure these questions out... I hope someone else answers with a more definite answer!

You are a landlord, and your tenant complains that you are in violation of the ADA because your wheelchair ramp is too steep. An
Savatey [412]

Answer:

  Not justified

Step-by-step explanation:

ADA requirements are for a slope of 1 in 12 or less, an 8.3% grade, or an angle of 4.8° (actually, 4.764° when rounded to 3 decimal places). The ramp angle found by the assessor is compliant.

  The tenant complaint does not seem justified.

Oscar played games vs number of points he scored is, C) positive, linear association.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • no association is when points Oscar graph will remain between 8to10.
  • number of games he scored his points remain the same which is mean.
  • non linear is only when there is no straight line passing.
  • Linear is either exponential or polynomial.
  • Positive as the game increase he scoring abilities increases.
  • Negative as the game increases his scoring decreases.
  • Negative x axis will have more number of points.
  • Negative y axis will high to low of the graph.
  • Linear lines are best way to predict a data doesn't work will all data.

When building a mini-boat, a boat builder uses 2 pounds of wood and 3 ounces of glue. If he/she has 3 pounds of wood and 6 ounce
zepelin [54]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

It means that every unit of mini boat requires 2 pounds of wood and 3 ounces of glue.

As such 3 pounds of wood can only be used to build one mini boat and there will be one pound of wood left. With 6 ounces of gold, the builder can build 2 boats (6/3).

However, the wood becomes the limiting factor that determines the number of mini-boats that can be made.  Hence with 3 pounds of wood and 6 ounces of glue, the builder can only build a mini-boat.
