Pschological tests are often used to determine the hostility levels in people. High scores on the HLT pschological test correspo

nds to high hostility levels. Suppose that 26 college students, all with equally high HLT test scores, were separated into two groups randomly. Group 1 (10 students) was treated for high hostility levels by using Method A; whereas Group 2 (16 students) was treated for high hostility levels by using Method B. Both groups were treated for a period of 5 months, at which time all 26 students were again given the HLT test. Below is the summary data on the HLT test for the two groups.Group 1: sample mean is 79 and sample standard deviation is 7Group 2: sample mean is 84 and sample standard deviation is 8Compute a 95% confidence level for the difference in the means of the two treatment methods and select the best answer below. Assume that the independent random samples were taken from normal distributions and that the two population variances are equal.

Answer:  the correct answer is we are 95% confident that there is no statistically significant difference in the mean treatment  methods for hostility.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Test for the equality of variances in the two groups to choose the appropriate t-test.  

H0: σ (1)^2 = σ (2)^2  

Ha: σ (1)^2 ≠ σ (2)^2  

Larger variance = 64  

Smaller variance = 49  

F = 1.30612  

Degrees of freedom 15 and 9  

Critical F from the table (with alpha=0.05) = 2.58  

Calculated F is smaller than critical F, so we use the pooled variance t-test.  

Sample 1 size 7  

Sample 2 size 8  

Sample 1 mean 79  

Sample 2 mean 84  

Sample 1 S.D. 7  

Sample 2 S.D. 8  

Pooled S.D = [(n1-1)s1^2+(n2-1)s2^2]/(n1+n2-2)

Pooled variance s = [(6)(49)+(7)(64))] / (13) =  (294+448)/13=742/13=57.076923

Pooled variance s^2 = 57.076923  

Standard error of difference in means = sqrt(1/n1+1/n2) times sqrt(s^2)  

Standard error of difference in means = (0.517549)(7.554927) = 3.910046 (denominator of t)  

Confidence interval = (mean1-mean2) +/- t SE  

t is the critical t with 24 degrees of freedom = 2.056  

(79 - 84) +/- (2.056) (3.910046)  

= (-13.04, 3.04)  

Interval encloses 0  

We are 95% confident that there is no statistically significant difference in the mean treatment  methods for hostility.

Given radical a and radical b are in simplest radical form and radical a timed radical b equals c radical d and c radical d is i
lawyer [7]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since sqrt(a) and sqrt(b) are in simplest radical form, that means a and b have no perfect square factors. When sqrt(a) and sqrt(b) are multiplied giving c * sqrt(d), the fact that c came out of the root means that there was c^2 inside the product sqrt(ab). This means that a and b have at least one common factor.

ab = c^2d

Example:

Let a = 6 and let b = 10.

sqrt(6) and sqrt(10) are in simplest radical form.

Now we multiply the radicals.

sqrt(a) * sqrt(b) = sqrt(6) * sqrt(10) = sqrt(60) = sqrt(4 * 15) = 2sqrt(15)

We have c = 2 and d = 15.

ab = c^2d

6 * 10 = 2^2 * 15

60 = 60

Our relationship between a, b and c, d works.

A rectangular prism is made of 81 unit cubes. The prism is 9 unit cubes long.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

A width: 3 unit cubes

height 3 unit cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism = 81 unit cubes

l = Length of rectangular prism = 9 unit cubes

w = Width of rectangular prism

h = Height of rectangular prism

Volume of a rectangular prism is given by

V=lwh\\\Rightarrow 81=9wh\\\Rightarrow wh=\dfrac{81}{9}\\\Rightarrow wh=9

The product of width and height must be 9 so from the options this is only possible when width and height both are 3 units.

So, the width is 3 unit cubes and the height is 3 unit cubes.

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

6.8 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

7.3/4=1.825, which is the side length, 1.825*1.825=20.2575 and then ypu divide 20.2575 by 3 because it is a pyramid and that gives you 6.7525
