A study was designed to compare the attitudes of two groups of nursing students towards computers. Group 1 had previously taken

a statistical methods course that involved significant computer interaction. Group 2 had taken a statistic methods course that did not use computers. The students' attitudes were measured by administering the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS). A random sample of 12 nursing students from Group 1 resulted in a mean score of 59.7 with a standard deviation of 2.8. A random sample of 15 nursing students from Group 2 resulted in a mean score of 64.7 with a standard deviation of 8.3. Can you conclude that the mean score for Group 1 is significantly lower than the mean score for Group 2? Let µ1 represent the mean score for Group 1 and µ2 represent the mean score for Group 2. Use a significance level of α = 0.1 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.Step 2: Compute the value of the t test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal placesStep 3: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0. Round your answer to three decimal places. Reject or fail to reject your hypothesis?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Group 1:

μ1 = 59.7

s1 = 2.8

n1 = sample size = 12

Group 2:

μ2 = 64.7

s2 = 8.3

n2 = sample size = 15

α = 0.1

Assume normal distribution and equ sample variance

A.)

Null and alternative hypothesis

Null : μ1 = μ2

Alternative : μ1 < μ2

B.)

USing the t test

Test statistic :

t = (m1 - m2) / S(√1/n1 + 1/n2)

S = √(((n1 - 1)s²1 + (n2 - 1)s²2) / (n1 + n2 - 2))

S = √(((12 - 1)2.8^2 + (15 - 1)8.3^2) / (12 + 15 - 2))

S = 6.4829005

t = (59.7 - 64.7) / 6.4829005(√1/12 + 1/15)

t = - 5 / 2.5108165

tstat = −1.991384

Decision rule :

If tstat < - tα, (n1+n2-2) ; reject the Null

tstat < t0.1,25

From t table :

-t0.1, 25 = - 1.3163

tstat = - 1.9913

-1.9913 < - 1.3163 ; Hence reject the Null

In a study investigating a link between walking and improved​ health, researchers reported that adults walked an average of 873
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

H_0:\mu =873\\\\H_a: \mu

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a study investigating a link between walking and improved​ health, researchers reported that adults walked an average of 873 minutes in the past month for the purpose of health or recreation.

Claim : The true average number of minutes in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 873 minutes.

i.e. \mu

We know that the null hypothesis contains equal sign , then the set of hypothesis for the given situation will be :-

H_0:\mu =873\\\\H_a: \mu

Three vertices of a rectangle have coordinates (–3, 1), (7,1), and (7, –4). What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the
Vinil7 [7]
You have to match up the sides. So you have two x values of 7, and one of -3, so that suggest that the x value you're looking for is -3. You have two y-values of 1, and one of -4, so i'd say look for a negative four. My answer would be A. (-3,-4)

A cone has a diamete of 3 inches the cone hold 12 cubic inches of water to the nearet inch what is the height of the cone
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone formula is V = (1/3)(base)(height).  Thus, 3V =(base)(ht).

We want to calculate the height of the cone.  Divide both sides of

3V =(base)(ht) by (base), obtaining   3V/(base) = ht.

Substituting 12 in^3 for V, and 2.25pi for (base), we get:

12 in^3

------------ = 5.33 in, or, to the nearest inch, 5 inches.

2.25 pi

Note:  The diameter of the cone is 3 inches.  The area of the base is pi*r^2, so we must divide d = 3 inches by 2 to obtain the radius:  1.5 in.  Then r^2 = 2.25 in^2.
