Quantitative noninvasive techniques are needed for routinely assessing symptoms of peripheral neuropathies, such as carpal tunne

l syndrome (CTS). An article reported on a test that involved sensing a tiny gap in an otherwise smooth surface by probing with a finger; this functionally resembles many work-related tactile activities, such as detecting scratches or surface defects. When finger probing was not allowed, the sample average gap detection threshold for m = 7 normal subjects was 1.83 mm, and the sample standard deviation was 0.54; for n = 10 CTS subjects, the sample mean and sample standard deviation were 2.35 and 0.88, respectively. Does this data suggest that the true average gap detection threshold for CTS subjects exceeds that for normal subjects? State and test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.01. (Use μ1 for normal subjects and μ2 for CTS subjects.)

Answer:

t=\frac{2.35-1.83}{\sqrt{\frac{0.88^2}{10}+\frac{0.54^2}{7}}}}=1.507  

p_v =P(t_{(15)}>1.507)=0.076

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and the group CTS, NOT have a significant higher mean compared to the Normal group at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

\bar X_{CTS}=2.35 represent the mean for the sample CTS

\bar X_{N}=1.83 represent the mean for the sample Normal

s_{CTS}=0.88 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample of CTS

s_{N}=0.54 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample of Normal

n_{CTS}=10 sample size selected for the CTS

n_{N}=7 sample size selected for the Normal

\alpha=0.01 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)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for the group CTS is higher than the mean for the Normal, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{CTS} \leq \mu_{N}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{CTS} > \mu_{N}

If we analyze the size for the samples both are less than 30 so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{CTS}-\bar X_{N}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{CTS}}{n_{CTS}}+\frac{s^2_{N}}{n_{N}}}} (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{2.35-1.83}{\sqrt{\frac{0.88^2}{10}+\frac{0.54^2}{7}}}}=1.507  

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{CTS}+n_{N}-2=10+7-2=15

Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(15)}>1.507)=0.076

We can use the following excel code to calculate the p value in Excel:"=1-T.DIST(1.507,15,TRUE)"

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and the group CTS, NOT have a significant higher mean compared to the Normal group at 1% of significance.

Which of the following statements best describes the graph of −5x + 2y = 1?
Nina [5.8K]

First, we determine that the given equation in this item is a linear equation. Thus, it should be a straight line. With this, we are left with the third and fourth choice. Then, we substitute the given data points to the equation and see if the points satisfy the given.

Choice 3:

<span>            (1,3)   :    (-5)(1) + (2)(3) = 1   TRUE</span>

<span>            (3,8)   :    (-5)(3) + 2(8) = 1      TRUE</span>

<span>            (-3,-7) :    (-5)(-3) + (2)(-7) = 1 TRUE</span>

 

Choice 4:

<span>            (4,-3)  :  (-5)(4) + (2)(-3) ≠ 1     FALSE</span>

<span>            (-1,2)   : (-5)(-1) + (2)(2) ≠ 1     FALSE</span>

<span>            (-4,5)   : (-5)(-4) + (2)(5) ≠ 1    FALSE</span>

 

<span>Thus, the answer is the third choice.</span>

When a transversal is perpendicular to two parallel lines, all the angles formed measure 90°. Explain why.
kotykmax [81]
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, due to the natures of the different relationships among the angles, all of them will be either equal to the measure of the first angle or equal to that angle subtracted from 180.  If the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines, forms a right angle, then both the angle given and the angle subtracted from 180 will be 90.  This means all of the angles will be 90.

Help please give answer please
Vsevolod [243]

The mean is 8 gerbils and the MAD is 4.29.

<h3>What is the mean?</h3>

Mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is determined by adding the numbers together and dividing it by the total number

Mean = sum of the numbers / total number

(0 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 14) / 7 = 8

What is the MAD?

MAD =  ∑ l x - m(x) l

| (0 - 8) + (3 - 8) + (6 - 8) + (9 - 8) + (11 - 8) + (13 - 8) + (14 - 8)| / 7 = 4.29

Jason wants to add a fence to his yard to make it the shape of a rectangle. What is the measure of angle MKJ in the portion of t
alex41 [277]

Answer:

\angle MKJ  = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\angle LKJ = 124

Required

Find \angle MKJ

From the attachment:

The measure of \angle MKJ is calculated using the following expression:

\angle MKJ  + \angle LKM = \angle LKJ

Where

\angle LKM = 90 -- right-angled.

The expression becomes

\angle MKJ  + 90 = 124

\angle MKJ  = 124 - 90

\angle MKJ  = 34

How do you write 9.009 as a percentage?
Oksanka [162]
900.9% would be 9.009 as a percentage.

It's 900% because it's a whole number and it's .9% because of the last 9 in the number (the thousandth - 3 digits after the decimal).
