A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. An SRS of 8 subjects was randomly selected

, and the pain level was recorded for each one, with a lower score indicating less pain. After the subjects were hypnotized, their pain level was recorded again. The researchers calculated the difference in the pain level for each subject, calculated as After – Before. Assume the differences follow an approximately normal distribution, with the following sample statistics: Is pain, on average, lower after hypnotism? Test at a 1% significance level. a. The assumptions for this test are not met because the sample size is too small. b. Yes, the p-value is less than 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that pain levels are lower after hypnotism. c. Yes, the p-value is greater than 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that pain levels are lower after hypnotism. d. No, the p-value is less than 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that pain levels are lower after hypnotism. e. No, the p-value is greater than 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that pain levels are lower after hypnotism. 3 points Save Answer

Answer:

e. No, the p-value is greater than 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that pain levels are lower after hypnotism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study's objective is to test if hypnotism reduces pain.

A sample of n=8 subjects was taken and the pain level was recorded in each subject before and after being hypnotized.

The variable of interest was determined by calculating the difference of pain level after - before hypnosis. This is a paired sample test and the variable can be determined as:

Xd: Difference between pain level felt after hypnosis and pain level felt before hypnosis of a subject.

The sample average and standard deviation obtained were:

Xd= -3

Sd= 3

And the variable is presumed to be approximately normal.

An approximately normal distribution is enough to conduct a paired sample t-test.

If the claim is that hypnosis reduces pain, then the average pain level after hypnosis should be less than the average pain level before hypnosis, then the average difference is expected to be negative, symbolically: μd < 0

The test will be one-tailed and so will be the p-value.

Remember: The p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis (i.e. the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis).

So first step is to calculate the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis and then you can calculate the p-value.

H₀: μd ≥ 0

H₁: μd < 0

t_{H_0}= \frac{X_d-Mu_{d}}{\frac{S_d}{n} }= \frac{-0-0}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{8} } } = -2.828= -2.83

The DF of the t-test are n-1= 7

Then you can calculate the p-value as:

P(t₇≤-2.83)= 0.0127

The level of the test is α: 0.01

The decision rule is:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value > α the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

Correct option: e. No, the p-value is greater than 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that pain levels are lower after hypnotism.

I hope this helps!

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5
stich3 [128]

Question is ;

Complete question is;

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5 feet every 36 hours. Buffalo accumulates snow at a rate of 0.01 inches every minute.

Which city accumulates more snow in 3 days? How much more snow?

Answer:

- Boston accumulates more snow in 3 days.

- It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Step-by-step explanation:

Boston accumulates 1.5 feet of snow every 36 hours.

Number of hours in 3 days = 24 × 3 = 72 hours.

Thus, In 72 hours, Boston would have accumulated; (1.5 × 72)/36 = 3 feet of snow.

Now, Buffalo accumulates 0.01 inches of snow every minute.

In 3 days, number of minutes we have = 60 × 24 × 3 = 4320 minutes

Thus, total snow accumulated in 3 days = 0.01 × 4320/1 = 43.2 inches

Now, let's convert this to ft;

12 inches = 1ft

Thus; 43.2 inches = 43.2 × 1/12 = 3.6ft

Thus, Buffalo accumulates more snow in 3 days.

It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Given that 1/f = 1/u + 1/v , express u in terms of v and f
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

u = fv/(v - f)

Step-by-step explanation:

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/u = 1/f - 1/v = v/fv - f/fv = (v-f)/fv

1/u = (v-f)/fv

u = fv/(v - f)

Given the functions, f(x)=x^3+2 and g(x)=x-9, perform the indicated operation. When applicable, state the domain restriction. (f
tiny-mole [99]
The domain of (f/g)(x) considers the domains of g(x) and f(x) and makes sure that g(x)≠0

because (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x)
and division by 0 is not allowed

the domains of f(x) and g(x) are all real numbers
now find what make g(x)=0
0=x-9
9=x

9 is restricted from the domain
domain is all real numbers except 9


so
(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=
\frac{x^3+2}{x-9}
the domain is all real numbers except for 9
