The mean length a particular species of fish should be 9.7 inches. the supervisor of a fish hatchery measures the length of a si

mple random sample of the fish every week after hatching to track their growth. if their average length is too short or too long, they are not maturing properly and further tests must be done to determine the cause. she randomly selects 30 fish from those hatched five weeks ago and observes a mean length of 10.1 inches and a standard deviation of 1.8 inches. the value of the test statistic is ________.

A test statistic is a parameter used during a hypothesis test to determine whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. There are 2 test statistics, the z-score and t-score. The main difference is that the t-score is used when sample size is not greater than 30. Therefore we will use the t-score in this case.

The formula for t-score is:

t-score = (x – μ<span>) / (s / sqrt n)               -----> equation 1</span>

Where,

x = sample mean = 10.1

μ = population mean = 9.7

s = sample standard deviation = 1.8

<span> n = sample size = 30</span>

Substituting the given values in equation 1:

t-score = (10.1 – 9.7) / (1.8 / sqrt(30))

t-score = 1.22

<span>Answer: The test statistic is 1.22.</span>

I am really confused about this question for math.. any help would be really appreciated:
Elina [12.6K]

y= (\frac 1 4 )^x

A reflection about the x axis, about y=0, is the mapping (x',y')=(x,-y) so

y'= -y = - (\frac 1 4)^{x'}

A dilation of 2 is the mapping (x'',y'')=(2x', 2y')

So

x'=x''/2, y'=y''/2

y''/2= - (\frac 1 4)^{x''/2}

y'' =  - 2((\frac 1 4)^{1/2})^{x''}

y''= - 2(\frac 1 2)^{x''}

We can rewrite that without the primes and combine the powers of 2.

y =  - 2^{1-x}

Let's graph these and see if we're close,

Plot y= (1/4)^x, y= - (1/4)^{x}, y = - 2^{1-x}

Write the fraction 7/8 as an equivalent fraction with the given denominator 40
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

35/40

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8, with the given denominator 40

So how do we get 8, to turn into 40?

Simple multiplication.

8x5 = 40, and whatever we multiply times the denominator, we multiply for the numerator.

So

7x5 = 35

The answer should be 35/40

What are the coordinates of the point? A coordinate grid with a dot placed in the second quadrant. The dot is to the left of pos
GenaCL600 [577]
We know that the point is in Q II.  Thus, the x-coordinate of this point will be negative and the y-coordinate will be positive.

The y-coordinate is essentially given, and is y=4.
Imagine drawing a vertical line thru x=-2.  This line will intersect y=4 at (-2,4).

The coordinates of the point are (-2, -4).
