The average height of men in 1960 was found to be 68 inches (5 feet, 8 inches). A researcher claims that men today are taller th

an they were in 1960 and would like to test this hypothesis at the 0.01 significance level. The researcher randomly selects 73 men and records their height to find an average of 69.8244 inches with standard deviation of 2.2354 inches. What is the value of the test statistic?

Answer:

t=0.477

p_v =P(t_{(72)}>0.477)=0.317

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

\bar X=69.8244 represent the mean height for the sample  

s=2.2354 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

n=73 sample size

\mu_o =68 represent the value that we want to test

\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)

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean height actually is higher than the mean height for men in 1960, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 68

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 68

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so 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".

Part b: Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{69.8244-68}{\frac{2.2354}{\sqrt{73}}}=0.477  

Part c: P-value

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

df=n-1=73-1=72

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

p_v =P(t_{(72)}>0.477)=0.317

Part d: 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 reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually it's significant higher compared to the height of men in 1960 at 1% of signficance.

the store owner gave a 35% discount yeah Joe and Carol so had to pay $247 for the camera what was the original price of the came
frozen [14]
From the given statement, we know the following...

0.35x = $247 where x = the orginial number

So if we solve for x by dividing by 0.35

x = $247/0.35 = $705.71

The perimeter of a rectangle is 28 cm and<br>its length is 8 cm. Find its breadth.​
Yakvenalex [24]
Answer:
The width of the rectangle is 6cm.

Explanation:
Perimeter=2(length+width)
28=2(8+w)
Distribute 2 into the parentheses
28=16+2w
Combine like terms
28-16=2w
12=2w
Divide both sides by 2
6=w

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
