A researcher expects a treatment to produce an increase in the population mean. The treatment is evaluated using a one tailed hy

pothesis test, and the test produces z = +1.85. Based on this result, what is the correct statistical decision?
A) The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with a = .05 but not with a = .01.
B) The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with either a = .05 or a = .01.
C) The researcher should fail to reject H0 with either a = .05 or a = .01.
D) This cannot be answered without additional information.

Answer:

A) The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with a = .05 but not with a = .01.

Step-by-step explanation:

State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested  

On this case we can assume that the researcher conduct a one right tailed test hypothesis like on this way:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o

The statistic for this case is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-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".  

On this case we have the value for z score given z =+1.85

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05,0.01. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

p_v =P(z>1.85)=1-P(Z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05,0.01 we can take a decision:

A) The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with a = .05 but not with a = .01.

YES, since the p value it's higher than the significance level of 0.01 so we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at this significance level. And for the significance level 0.05 we have that p_v and we can reject the null hypothesis.

B) The researcher should reject the null hypothesis with either a = .05 or a = .01.

No since the p value it's higher than the significance level of 0.01 so we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at this significance level

C) The researcher should fail to reject H0 with either a = .05 or a = .01.

No, for the significance level of 0.05 we reject the null hypothesis since p_v

D) This cannot be answered without additional information.

No, we have enough info to answer the question

Please help me find x. I really don't get it.
inysia [295]

Answer:

  x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the sine and cosine functions can be written as ...

  sin(x) = cos(90 -x)

  sin(A) = cos(90 -A) = cos(B) . . . . substituting the given values

Equating arguments of the cosine function, we have ...

 90 -(3x+4) = 8x -35

  86 -3x = 8x -35

  86 +35 = 8x +3x . . . . . add 3x+35 to both sides

  121 = 11x . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  121/11 = x = 11 . . . . . . . . divide by 11

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

There are other applicable relationships between sine and cosine as well. The result is that there are many solutions to this equation. One set is ...

  11 +(32 8/11)k . . . for any integer k

Another set is ...

  61.8 +72k . . . . . for any integer k

y = 3x + 3 y = x − 1 Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution
Leona [35]
Y = 3x + 3
y = x - 1

As you can see, both equations are set to equal y. This means the right sides of each equation are equal, since y is isolated in both equations. So to solve this particular system of equations for x, set the right sides of both equations equal to each other. After you've done that, you can proceed to solve the equation algebraically for the variable, x.

3x + 3 = x - 1
2x + 3 = -1
2x = -4
x = -2

Negative two is the x-value. To find the y-value, substitute -2 for x into either equation and solve algebraically for y.

y = x - 1
y = -2 - 1
y = -3

The final step is to check all work by plugging both x- and y-values back into both equations.

y = 3x + 3
-3 = 3(-2) + 3
-3 = -6 + 3
-3 = -3  --  This is true

y = x - 1
-3 = -2 - 1
-3 = -3  --  This is true.
