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.

Answer:

26°

Step-by-step explanation:

If one side of a triangle is a diameter of a circle, then the angle that is not directly connected to the diameter is 90°.

This means the answer is 90 - 64 or 26.

If a 24-foot ladder makes a 58 degree angle with the ground, how many feet up a wall will it reach? Round your answer to the nea
mash [69]

Answer: 20.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(image attached for reference)

To find how high the ladder reaches on the wall, first find the relationship between the angle and the wall. The wall is opposite to the angle, so it's possible to solve this equation using sin(58). Sine equals opposite over hypotenuse so sin(58) = x/24. Multiply 24 on both sides to get an equation that can be plugged into a calculator of 24sin(58) = x.

24sin(58) = 20.35, which gets rounded up to a final answer of 20.4 feet.

What can you say about the y-values of the two functions <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%203%5Ex-3" id="TexForm
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) The minimum y-value of f(x) is -3

d) The minimum y-value of g(x) is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

f(x) = 3^{x}-3

g(x) = 7x² - 3

<h3>A)</h3>

At large negative exponents, the value approaches to zero

y = 3^{-100}-3=-3

y = 3^{-1000}-3=-3

y = 3^{-10000}-3=-3

<h3>B)</h3>

Minimum y-value of g(x) will be when x = 0

y = 7x² - 3

y = 7(0) - 3

y = -3

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match each expression with its simplified form. Tiles 3a5 − (-a5) 6a7
fredd [130]
3a^5 - (-a^5) = 3a^5 + a^5 = 4a^5

6a^7 - 2a^7 = 4a^7

-3a^5 - (-2a^5) = -3a^5 + 2a^5 = -a^5

7a^7 - 8a^7 = -a^7
