A random sample of 16 students selected from the student body of a large university had an average age of 25 years and a populat

ion standard deviation of 2 years. We want to determine if the average age of all the students at the university is significantly more than 24. Assume the distribution of the population of ages is normal.
What is the alternative and null hypotheses?
What is the test statistic?
What is the p-value?
What is your conclusion about the stated hypotheses at a 95% confidence level?

Answer:

t=\frac{25-24}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{16}}}=2      

p_v =P(t_{15}>2)=0.0320  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean is significant higher than 24 years.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation      

\bar X=25 represent the sample mean      

s=2 represent the standard deviation for the sample      

n=16 sample size      

\mu_o =24 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

\alpha=0.05

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is higher than 24, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 24      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 24      

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic      

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:      

t=\frac{25-24}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{16}}}=2      

Calculate the P-value      

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=16-1=15  

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:      

p_v =P(t_{15}>2)=0.0320  

Conclusion      

If we compare the p value and the significance level given for example \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean is significant higher than 24 years.

Can someone helpp with thissssssssssssssss
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let’s say each side length is called a, b, and c

to find out if a side length is a solution you have to know that

a < b + c

b < a + c

c < a + b

if all of these are true then the given lengths can be the sides of a triangle

ex:

a = 3, b = 4, c = 5

3 < 4+5

3 < 9

this is true

4 < 3+5

4 < 8

this is true

5 < 3+4

5 < 7

this is true

so these side lengths can make a triangle

however, if one of these inequalities weren’t true (ex: 9 < 4) you wouldn’t be able to make a triangle with the given side lengths

Given that (ax^2 + bx + 3) (x + d) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 11x + 12<br> a + 2b - d = ?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Let's solve for a.

(ax2+bx+3)(x+d)=x3+6x2+11x+12a+2b−d

Step 1: Add -12a to both sides.

adx2+ax3+bdx+bx2+3d+3x+−12a=x3+6x2+12a+2b−d+11x+−12a

adx2+ax3+bdx+bx2−12a+3d+3x=x3+6x2+2b−d+11x

Step 2: Add -bdx to both sides.

adx2+ax3+bdx+bx2−12a+3d+3x+−bdx=x3+6x2+2b−d+11x+−bdx

adx2+ax3+bx2−12a+3d+3x=−bdx+x3+6x2+2b−d+11x

Step 3: Add -bx^2 to both sides.

adx2+ax3+bx2−12a+3d+3x+−bx2=−bdx+x3+6x2+2b−d+11x+−bx2

adx2+ax3−12a+3d+3x=−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−d+11x

Step 4: Add -3d to both sides.

adx2+ax3−12a+3d+3x+−3d=−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−d+11x+−3d

adx2+ax3−12a+3x=−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+11x

Step 5: Add -3x to both sides.

adx2+ax3−12a+3x+−3x=−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+11x+−3x

adx2+ax3−12a=−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+8x

Step 6: Factor out variable a.

a(dx2+x3−12)=−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+8x

Step 7: Divide both sides by dx^2+x^3-12.

a(dx2+x3−12)

dx2+x3−12

=

−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+8x

dx2+x3−12

a=

−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+8x

dx2+x3−12

Answer:

a=

−bdx−bx2+x3+6x2+2b−4d+8x/

dx2+x3−12

Given a right triangle find the measure of all the angles of one angle is a right angle in the measure of the second angle is si
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

12°, 78°, 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

let the third angle be x then the second angle is 7x - 6

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

x + 7x - 6 + 90 = 180, that is

8x + 84 = 180 ( subtract 84 from both sides )

8x = 96 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 12

Thus second angle = 12° and third = 7(12) - 6 = 84 - 6 = 78°

The 3 angles are 12°, 78° and 90°
