Answer:
Do not reject H0. The mean days surfed for longboarders is significantly larger than the mean days surfed for all shortboarders
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis is that the mean days surfed for all long boarders is larger than the mean days surfed for all short boarders
H0: μL > μs against the claim Ha: μL≤ μs
the alternate hypothesis is the mean days surfed for all long boarders isless or equal to the mean days surfed for all short boarders (because long boards can go out in many different surfing conditions)
The test statistic is
t= x1- x2/ √s1/n1+ s2/n2
1) Calculations
Longboards
Mean
ˉx=∑x/n=4+8+9+4+9+7+9+6+6+11+15+13+16+12+10+12+18+20+15+10+15+19+21+9+22+19+23+13+12+10/30
=377/30
=12.5667
Longboard Variance S2=[∑dx²-(∑dx)²/n]/n-1
=[831-(-13)²/30]/29
=831-5.6333/29
=825.3667/29
=28.4609
Shortboard Mean
ˉx=∑x/n=6+4+6+6+7+7+7+10+4+6+7+5+8+9+4+15+13+9+12+11+12+13+9+11+13+15+9+19+20+11/30
=288/30
=9.6
Shortboard Variance S2=[∑x²-(∑x)²/n]/n-1
=[ 3270-(288)2/30]/29
=3270-2764.8/29
=505.2/29
=17.4207
2) Putting values in the test statistic
t=|x1-x2|/√S²1/n1+S²2/n2
t =|12.5667-9.6|/√28.4609/30+17.4207/30
t =|2.9667|/√0.9487+0.5807
t=|2.9667|/√1.5294
t=|2.9667|/1.2367
t=2.3989
3) Degree of freedom =n1+n2-2=30+30-2=58
4) The critical region is t ≤ t(0.05) (58) =1.6716
5) Since the calculated t= 2.4 does not fall in the critical region t(0.05) (58) ≤ 1.6716 we do not reject H0.
The p-value is 0.008969. The result is significant at p <0 .05.
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Mandy travels more miles.</u>
We determine this by multiplying the distance from home by the number of trips.
For Mandy, she lives 10 miles away from school, and takes 9 trips. 9 times 10 is 90 miles.
For Matt, he lives 8 miles away from school, and takes 11 trips. 11 times 8 is 88 miles.
Many travels 2 more miles in total than Matt.

Answer:
- C
- E
- B
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea of a "production possibilities curve" is that there is a fixed relationship between possible production of one product and possible production of another. This relationship is presumed to exist because resources used to produce one product are then unavailable to produce the other product.
The graph of the curve generally has increased production in the direction away from the origin. So, points between the curve and the origin represent production choices that do not utilize all available resources of the kind that give rise to the curve. That is, points "inside" the curve represent under-utilization of resources.
1. Point C represents under-utilization.
__
2. Points "outside" the curve are unattainable, because the curve represents production using all available resources.
Point E is unattainable.
__
3. The assumptions behind the curve are that there must be a tradeoff between production of one item and production of another that uses the same resources. That is, increasing production of one item will necessarily decrease production of the other, representing a cost of the increased production of the first item. We call this cost an "opportunity cost", because it represents production opportunity lost with respect to the second item.
Choice B describes this situation.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The very idea of a "production possibilities curve" represents the sort of simplification that is often used in the study of economics. The real world is much messier, and these curves are always dynamic. They are affected by the regulatory environment, resource quality, technology, product quality, and availability of alternate or competing products, among other things. The very existence of such a curve precludes the possibility of "win-win" situations, which we know are generally available if they are sought after.
