The mean number of English courses taken in a two–year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about t

he same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an averageof three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8.The females took an average off our English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0.
(a) Are the means statistically the same?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. it is a two-tailed test. Let m be the subscript for the number of English courses taken by male students and f be the subscript for the number of English courses taken by female students.

Therefore, the population means would be μm and μf.

The random variable is xm - xf = difference in the sample mean number of English courses taken by male and female students.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μm = μf H0 : μm - μf = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μm ≠ μf H1 : μm - μf ≠ 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(xm - xf)/√(sm²/nm + sf²/nf)

From the information given,

xm = 3

xf = 4

sm = 0.8

sf = 1

nm = 29

nf = 16

t = (3 - 4)/√(0.8²/29 + 1²/16)

t = - 11.82

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [sm²/nm + sf²/nf]²/(1/nm - 1)(sm²/nm)² + (1/nf - 1)(sf²/nf)²

df = [0.8²/29 + 1²/16]²/[(1/29 - 1)(0.8²/29)² + (1/16 - 1)(1²/16)²] = 0.00715/0.00027781093

df = 25.7

Approximately, df = 26

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.00001

Assuming a level of significance of 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis because the p value, 0.00001 is < 0.05

Therefore, we can conclude that the means are not statistically the same.

What is the expression in factored form?x^2+13x+14
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

\left(x-\dfrac{-13+\sqrt{113}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-13-\sqrt{113}}{2}\right).

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the expression x^2+13x+14 you need to know its roots.

First find the discriminant of this quadratic polynomial:

D=13^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 14=169-56=113.

Then the roots of the expression x^2+13x+14 are

x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-13\pm \sqrt{113}}{2}.

Now the factored form is

\left(x-\dfrac{-13+\sqrt{113}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-13-\sqrt{113}}{2}\right).

Find the equation,in standard form, of the line passing through the point (2,-3) and (4,2)
VLD [36.1K]

The standard form:

Ax+By=C

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (2, -3) and (4, 2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{2-(-3)}{4-2}=\dfrac{5}{2}

y-(-3)=\dfrac{5}{2}(x-2)

y+3=\dfrac{5}{2}(x-2)       <em>use distributive property</em>

y+3=\dfrac{5}{2}x-5            <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

2y+6=5x-10                     <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

2y=5x-16         <em>subtract 5x from both sides</em>

-5x+2y=-16          <em>change the signs</em>

\boxed{5x-2y=16}

7. These number share the same percentage
otez555 [7]
Answer: 30

You find the difference and put this over the original price ie. 25-20=5. 5/20= 0.25 so the increase is 25%

24x 0.25= 6
6+24=£30

(Or 24x1.25=30)
