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 ________. (give the answer rounded to 2 decimal places.)

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>

In a coin game, you repeatedly toss a biased coin (0.4 for head, 0.6 for tail). Each head represents 3 points and tail represent
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

See answer in explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

State: current points if stop plus a terminal state, that is, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,DONE

Action: Toss, Stop

2. What is the transition function and the reward function for this MDP?

Transition function:

T(Si , TOSS, Si+3) = 0.4 if i < 3

T(Si , TOSS, DONE) = 0.4 if i ≥ 3

T(Si , TOSS, Si+1) = 0.6 if i < 7

T(Si , TOSS, DONE) = 0.4 if i = 7

T(Si , STOP, DONE) = 1

Reward function:

R(Si , TOSS, ANY ) = 0

R(Si , STOP, DONE) = i

R(DONE, STOP, DONE) = 0

3. What is the optimal policy for this MDP? Please write down the steps to show how

you get the optimal policy.

Optimal policy: Toss for 0,1,2 ; STOP for others.

You should include the steps of value iteration. The value iteration will converge at

iteration 3. Result of iteration 3 is as follow,

V3: 0: 4.5 from Toss; 1: 5.4 from Toss; 2: 5.9 from Toss; 3: 3 from

Stop; 4: 4 from Stop; 5: 5 from Stop; 6: 6

At the end of june Mr kent had a Balance of $375.98 . Since then he has Written Check for $38.56 and made a deposit of $408.00.
zmey [24]
$745.42 because $375.98 - $38.56 = $337.42. Since Mr. Kent deposited $408.00 into his balance at the bank, $408.00 + $337.42 = $745.42.
