Suppose we want to study the average weight of children in the US. We collect a random sample of 345 first graders in three diff

erent US states. Which of the following hypothesis tests is best suited to determine whether there is a difference in the average student weight among the three states? (HINT: How many states?)
a. Two-sample t-test
b. F-Test
c. Paired t-test
d. Z-test

Answer:

F test

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we want to study the average weight of children in the US. We collect a random sample of 345 first graders in three different US states

Since there are three samples representing three populations to check whether they have same average weight we have to use F test.

Two sample t test is wrong because here there are three samples.

Paired t test is done for the same item subject to two different tratments

Z test is done for comparing of a mean with population mean or proportion if the population standard deviation is known.

Hence here since the number of groups are more than two, only F test is best suited to determine whether there is a difference in the average student weight among the three states

Yes, you are correct.

From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.

All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).

We can gather the following information from the given information.

  • The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
  • The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9

We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:

12/x = x/9

Using the cross product property gives us:

x² = 9 × 12

x² = 108

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

x = √108

= 6 √3

Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Suppose a city with population 500,000 has been growing at a rate of ​7% per year. If this rate​ continues, find the population
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2,070,281

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = number of years

let y = population

Given:

  • initial population = 500000
  • rate of increase = 7%

y = 500000 × 1.07^x

when x = 21:

y = 500000 × 1.07^(21) = 2070281.187... = 2,070,281

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10).
Pachacha [2.7K]
The slope m of a line through points A(x_1, y_1) and B(x_2, y_2)  is given by :<span>

\displaystyle{m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}&#10;



Thus, the slope of the line passing through points </span><span>(−1, 7) and (2, 10) is 

</span>\displaystyle{m= \frac{10-7}{2-(-1)}= \frac{3}{3}=1
<span>

The equation of a line with slope m passing through a point P(a, b) is given by
                                        (y-b)=m(x-a).


We can consider any of the points (-1, 7), or (2, 10). Let's choose (2, 10):

                                        y-10=1(x-2)
                                        y-10=x-2
                                           y-x=-2+10
                                           y-x=8
