The school band is comprised of middle school students and high school students, but it always has the same maximum capacity. La

st year the ratio of the number of middle school students to the number of high school students was 1:8. However, this year the ratio of the number of middle school students to the number of high school students changed to 2:7. If there are 18 middle school students in the band this year, how many fewer high school students are in the band this year compared to last year?

> Last year the ratio of the number of middle school students
> to the number of high school students was 1:8.
1/9 x + 8/9 x = makeup of middle and high school students

> this year the ratio ... changed to 2:7
2/9 x + 7/9 x = x (again)

> there are 18 middle school students in the band this year
2/9 x = 18
2x = 9 * 18 → x = 81

Total = 81 in band ...
Last year:
1/9 and 8/9 = 9 and 72
This year
2/9 and 7/9 = 18 and 63

And from there you can figure out the changes:
+9 for middle school (which is increase from 1/9 to 2/9)
--9 for high school (which is decrease from 8/9 to 7/9)

y= 3(2)+1=7 not 5
y= 3(3)+1=10 not 6

A researcher claims that the average body mass index (BMI) of adult Canadians is more than 25.0. He takes a SRS of 250 Canadians
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The probability of obtaining a result equivalent to or greater than what was the truly observed value of the test statistic is 0.001.

Step-by-step explanation:

The researcher can use a one sample <em>z</em> test to determine whether his claim is correct or not.

The hypothesis to test whether the mean BMI is more than 25.0, is defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The mean BMI is not more than 25.0, i.e. <em>μ </em>≤ 25.0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The mean BMI is more than 25.0, i.e. <em>μ </em>> 25.0.

The test statistic is defined as:

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is,

<em>p</em> = 0.001.

The p-value is well-defined as per the probability, [under the null-hypothesis (<em>H₀</em>)], of attaining a result equivalent to or greater than what was the truly observed value of the test statistic.

A small p-value (typically ≤ 0.05) specifies sufficient proof against the null hypothesis (<em>H₀</em>), so you discard <em>H₀</em>. A large p-value (> 0.05) specifies fragile proof against the <em>H₀</em>, so you fail to discard <em>H₀.</em>

The <em>p</em>-value of 0.001 indicates that the probability of obtaining a result equivalent to or greater than what was the truly observed value of the test statistic is 0.001.

As the <em>p</em>-value is very small, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any level of significance.

Thus, concluding that the mean BMI of adult Canadians is more than 25.0.
