In a study of cereal leaf beetle damage to oats, researchers measured the number of beetle larvae per stem in small plots of oat

s after applying (or not applying) the pesticide Malathion . Researchers applied Malathion to a random sample of 5 plots, and did not apply the pesticide to an independent sample of 12 plots. A noted scientist claims that Malathion will not make any difference in the mean number of larvae per stem. Test her claim at the .05 level of significance. State H0 and H1. a. H0: Mean Malathion -MeanNoMalathion <= 0 H1: Mean Malathion-Mean Malathion > 0 b. H0: MeanMalathion -MeanNoMalathion >= 0 H1: MeanMalathion-MeanNoMalathion < 0 c. H0: MeanMalathion = MeanNoMalathion H1: MeanMalathion ≠ MeanNoMalathion d. H0: MeanMalathion-MeanNoMalathion = 0 H1: MeanMalathion-MeanNoMalathion ≠ 0

Answer:

At 0.05 level of significance, there is no difference in the mean number of larvae per stem. This supports the scientist's claim.

(d) H0: MeanMalathion - MeanNoMalathion equals 0

H1: MeanMalathion - MeanNoMalathion not equals 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Test statistic (t) = (mean 1 - mean 2) ÷ sqrt[pooled variance (1/n1 + 1/n2)]

Let the difference between the two means be x and the pooled variance be y

n1 = 5, n2 = 12

t = x ÷ sqrt[y(1/5 + 1/12)] = x ÷ sqrt(0.283y) = x ÷ 0.532√y = 1.88x/√y

Assuming the ratio of x to √y is 0.5

t = 1.88×0.5 = 0.94

n1 + n2 = 5 + 12 = 17

degree of freedom = n1 + n2 - 2 = 17 - 2 = 15

significance level = 0.05 = 5%

critical value corresponding to 15 degrees of freedom and 5% confidence interval is 2.131

The test is a two-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is expressed using not equal to.

The region of no rejection of the null hypothesis lies between -2.131 and 2.131

Conclusion

Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic 0.94 falls within the region bounded by the critical values.

The scientist's claim is right.

A null hypothesis is a statement from a population parameter which is either rejected or accepted (fail to reject) upon testing. It is expressed using the equality sign.

An alternate hypothesis is also a statement from a population parameter which negates the null hypothesis and is accepted if the null hypothesis is rejected. It is expressed using any of the inequality signs.

Joaquin and Trisha are playing a game in which the lower median wins the game. Their scores are shown below. Joaquin's scores: 7
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Joaquin's score is 75,72,85,62,58,91

and Trisha's score is 92,90,55,76,91,74

Arranging score in order of value we get

Joaquin's : 58,62,72,75,85,91

Trisha's : 55,74,76,90,91,92

as no of values is even therefore their median is

Joaquin's=\frac{72+75}{2}=73.5

Trisha's =\frac{76+90}{2}=83

Therefore median of Joaquin's is lower

Thus Joaquin wins the game

Silvia buys 12 steaks that are each 34 of a pound. She spends a total of $90 on steaks. Complete each sentence. Silvia buys a to
scZoUnD [109]
I think in the first sentence, that should have been 3/4 instead of 34. Total amount of steak bought (lb)
                                        total amount = (3/4 lb/steak)(12 steak) = 9 lb
To find the total amount that Silvia spends for each pound of steak, we divide $90 by 9 and that will give us an answer of $10.

Factor 8x^3y + 38x^2y - 10xy
Sophie [7]

Answer:

2xy(x+5)(4x−1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

GCF = 2xy

2 Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2xy (8x^3y + 38x^2y/2xy + −10xy/2xy)

3 Simplify each term in parentheses.

2xy(4x^2 +19x−5)

4 Split the second term in 4x^2+19x-5 into two terms.

2xy(4x^2 +20x−x−5)

5 Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

2xy(4x(x+5)−(x+5))

6 Factor out the common term x+5.

2xy(x+5)(4x−1)
