A forester studying diameter growth of red pine believes that the mean diameter growth will be different from the known mean gro

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$t=\frac{1.6-1.35}{\frac{0.46}{\sqrt{32}}}=3.07$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df =n-1= 32-1=31$

Since is a two-sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{31}>3.07)=0.0044$

Since the p value is a very low value we have enough evidence to conclude that true mean is significantly different from 1.35 in/year at any significance level commonly used for example ( $\alpha=0.01,0.05, 0.1, 0.15$ ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=1.6$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.46$ represent the sample deviation

$n=32$ sample size

$\mu_o =1.35$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ 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 true mean is different from 1.35 in/year, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu =1.35$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 1.35$

The statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Calculate the statistic

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

$t=\frac{1.6-1.35}{\frac{0.46}{\sqrt{32}}}=3.07$

P-value

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df =n-1= 32-1=31$

Since is a two-sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{31}>3.07)=0.0044$

Since the p value is a very low value we have enough evidence to conclude that true mean is significantly different from 1.35 in/year at any significance level commonly used for example ( $\alpha=0.01,0.05, 0.1, 0.15$ ).

Ray Of Light [21]

To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.

The first equation is 2x+5y=33

The second equation is 8x+3y=30

Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.

So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.

That gives you -8x-20y= -132

Then you set up the two equations and add them together.

(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)

That gives you -17y = -102

So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5

Hope this helped and if you get confused or have questions please ask :)

Find a rational number halfway between 7/8 and 6/7

algol [13]

<h3>Answer: 97/112</h3>

================================================

How to get this answer:

Midpoint formula: (A+B)/2 = C

A and B are the endpoints with C as the midpoint

A = 7/8

B = 6/7

A+B = 7/8 + 6/7

A+B = 49/56 + 48/56

A+B = (49+48)/56

A+B = 97/56

(A+B)/2 = (97/56) divided by 2

(A+B)/2 = (97/56) times (1/2)

(A+B)/2 = (97*1)/(56*2)

(A+B)/2 = 97/112
