An experiment was designed to see whether laboratory rats would, on average, eat more when confined to a crowded cage or an uncr

owded one. To minimize the effect of genetic differences, two rats were chosen from each of 30 litters. One of each pair of rats was randomly assigned to a crowded cage, the other rat to an uncrowded cage. The data to be collected were the 30 differences in the amount of food consumed between the "crowded" and the "uncrowded" rat from each litter.
What is the natural null hypothesis for this experiment?

Answer:

Null hypothesis: <em>μ₁</em> = <em>μ₂</em>.

Alternate hypothesis: <em>μ₁</em> > <em>μ₂</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimenter want to see whether laboratory rats would, on average, eat more when confined to a crowded cage or an uncrowded one.

(1)

The null hypothesis for this test is defined as:

<em>H</em>₀: The rats would, on average, not eat more when confined to a crowded cage or an uncrowded one, i.e. <em>μ₁</em> = <em>μ₂</em>.

(2)

The alternate hypothesis will be directional. This is because the experimenter wants to determine whether the rats eat more or not.

So the alternate hypothesis is:

<em>H</em>ₐ: The rats would, on average, eat more when confined to a crowded cage or an uncrowded one, i.e. <em>μ₁</em> > <em>μ₂</em>.

Determine the type and number of solutions of −4x2 − 3x + 7 = 0.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the discriminant for this. If the quadratic is -4x^2-3x+7, then

a = -4, b = -3, and c = 7. The formula for finding the discriminant is

D=b^2-4ac which comes from the quadratic formula, but without the square root sign. Filling in:

D=(-3)^2-4(-4)(7) which simplifies down to

D = 9 + 112 so

D = 121. This is a perfect square, so the solutions will be 2 real. Just so you know, you will NEVER have a solution like the one offered in the third choice down. If you have one imaginary root, you will ALWAYS have a second by the conjugate rule.

Help with this and show steps, please!!!!!!
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides which are congruent.

Thus the figure is a Kite

Using the properties of a Kite

• The diagonals are perpendicular

• The main diagonal diagonal bisects the pair of opposite angles

Hence ∠1 = 90° ( diagonals are perpendicular )

The angle 22° is a bisected angle so the angle below is also 22°

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

∠2 = 180° - (90 + 22)° = 180° - 112° = 68°

The solution is A

Find the missing length of the triangle.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a = 13.8

(missing length of triangle = 13.8 meters)

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths of a triangle can be related using the Pythagorean Theorem;

a² + b² = c²

where

a = one side length

b = other side length

c = hypotenuse (long side --across from 90° angle)

So, by plugging our values into the Pythagorean Theorem, we can solve for a:

a = unknown

b = 18.4

c = 23

a² + b² = c²

a² + 18.4² = 23²

a² + 338.56 = 539

    - 338.56   - 338.56       {subtract 338.56 from both sides to isolate a}

a² = 190.44

√a² = √190.44

a = 13.8

so, the missing length of the triangle is 13.8 m

hope this helps!!

Help find the probability
zepelin [54]

Answer:

    18. <u>0.25</u>

    19. <u>0.33</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem 18</u>

  • Number of oranges = 2
  • Number of fruits = 2 + 6 = 8
  • P (orange) = 2/8 = 1/4
  • P (orange) = <u>0.25</u>

<u />

<u>Problem 19</u>

  • Number of 1 or 6 faces = 2
  • Total faces = 6
  • P (1 or 6) = 2/6 = 1/3
  • P (1 or 6) = <u>0.33</u> (2 DP)
