A psychological experiment was conducted to investigate the length of time (time delay) between the administration of a stimulus

and the observation of a specified reaction. A random sample of 36 persons was subjected to the stimulus, and the time delay was recorded. The sample mean and standard deviation were 2.2 and .57 seconds, respectively. Is there significant evidence that the mean time delay for the hypothetical population of all persons who may be subjected to the stimulus differs from 1.6 seconds? Use a  .05. What is the level of significance of the test?

Answer:

The P-value of this sample is 0 and is less than the significance level (0.05), so the effect is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

As there is significant evidence to reject H_0: \mu= 1.6, we can say that there is significant evidence to claim that the mean time delay for the hypothetical population of all persons who may be subjected to the stimulus differs from 1.6 seconds.

The significance level for this test is 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we want to prove if there is significant evidence that the mean differs from 1.6 seconds. That is the same as having evidence to reject the the hypothesis H_0:\mu= 1.6 (the null hypothesis always have the equal sign).

We have to test the null hypothesis

H_0:\mu= 1.6

The significance level for this test is 0.05

Calculation of the t-statistic:

t=\frac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{2.2-1.6}{0.57/\sqrt{36}} =\frac{0.6}{0.063}= 9.47

If we look up in a t-table for t=9.47 and df=(36-1)=35, we get this value appears with a probability of zero. A large number like that is very unlikely to happen.

The P-value of this sample is 0 and is less than the significance level (0.05), so the effect is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

As there is significant evidence to reject H_0: \mu= 1.6, we can say that there is significant evidence to claim that the mean time delay for the hypothetical population of all persons who may be subjected to the stimulus differs from 1.6 seconds.

How many liters equal 105 cubic centimeters? 10.5 L 1.05 L 1050 L 0.105 L
seropon [69]
Hello!

1 cubic centimeter = 0.001 liter

105 cubic centimeters = 0.001 × 105

0.001 × 105 = 0.105

Answer ⇒ 0.105 L

Hope this helps! :)

Mary had $25,000 to invest. She invested part of that amount at 3% annual interest and part at 5% annual interest for one year.
emmasim [6.3K]
(25000-f)(.03)+.05f=1100

750-.03f+.05f=1100

750+.02f=1100

.02f=350

f=$17500

So Mary invested $17500 @ 5% and 7500 at 3% to earn $1100 in interest.

Convert 38degrees F to degrees celsius. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. Here are the formulas.
