Daily-high temperature measurements for 40 consecutive days are recorded for a particular city. The mean daily-high temperature

for this time period of 21.5 degrees Celsius is noted. Assuming that the sample standard deviation for all such temperatures is 1.5 degrees Celsius, test the claim that the population mean daily-high temperature is less than 22 degrees Celsius. Use P-value, significance level of 0.01, and determine conclusion.
(A) P-val = 0.979, fail to reject the null hypothesis
(B) P-val= 0.041, fail to reject the null hypothesis
(C) P-val=0.021, fail to reject the alternative hypothesis
(D) P-val=0.021, fail to reject the null hypothesis
(E) P-val = 0.041, reject the alternative hypothesis

Answer:

t=\frac{21.5-22}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{40}}}=-2.108    

p_v =P(t_{39}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean temperature actually its NOT significant less then 22 at 1% of signficance.  

(D) P-val=0.021, fail to reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=21.5 represent the mean for the temperatures

s=1.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=40 sample size  

\mu_o =22 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is less than 22C, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 22  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 22  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{21.5-22}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{40}}}=-2.108    

P-value

We can calculate the degrees of freedom like this:

df=n-1=40-1=39

Since is a one left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{39}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean temperature actually its NOT significant less then 22 at 1% of signficance.  

The best option would be:

(D) P-val=0.021, fail to reject the null hypothesis

What's the perimeter or how do you find it?
ziro4ka [17]

The perimeter of inside of the track is 536.44m

<h3>Perimeter of a circle and rectangle</h3>

The perimeter of a circle is also known as the circumference of the circle. The formula for calculating the circumference is expressed as:

C = 2πr

where

r is the radius

From the given diagram

r = 46/2 = 23m

C = 2(3.14)(23)
C = 144.44m

Find the perimeter of the rectangle

P = 2(l+w)

p = 2(46+150)
P = 2(196)
P =392m

The perimeter of the inside track = 144.44 + 392

The perimeter of the inside track = 536.44m

Hence the perimeter of inside of the track is 536.44m

A researcher studying the sleep habits of teens will select a random sample of n teens from the population to survey. The resear
kati45 [8]

Answer:

D. The center remains constant, and the area in the tails of the distribution decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Be it two independent random variables, X~N(μ;σ²) and U~Xₙ², the variable t is determined by the quotient between a random variable N(0;1) and the square root of a Chi-Square variable divided by its degrees of freedom:

t= \frac{(X-Mu)/Sigma}{\sqrt{U/n} }

As a consequence of this, the structure of the distribution depends on the parameter n (degrees of freedom), it is centered in zero and has a bell-shape similar to the normal distribution.

It has a mean and variance:

E(t)= 0 for n > 1

V(t)= \frac{n}{n - 2} n > 2

As you can see the variance of the distribution is directly affected by its degrees of freedom, which means that when the degrees of freedom change, the variance of the distribution change and so does its shape.

When ↑n ⇒ ↑V(t) ⇒ The area under the tails increases.

When ↓n ⇒ ↓V(t) ⇒ The area under the tails decreases.

In this example, the degrees of freedom of the distribution decreased from 40 to 20, then the variance of the distribution decreases and it "flattens", i.e. the area under the tails gets lowered.

The E(t) isn't affected by the modification of n, so the distribution remains centered in zero.

I hope this helps!

Identify the vertex and directrix of each.<br> y = x2 + 2x - 4
sergey [27]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Convert equation to vertex form </u>y=(x-h)^2+k<u> by completing the square:</u>

y=x^2+2x-4

y+5=x^2+2x-4+5

y+5=x^2+2x+1

y+5=(x+1)^2

y=(x+1)^2-5

<u>Vertex:</u>

<u />(h,k)\rightarrow(-1,-5)<u />

<u>Directrix:</u>

<u />y=k-\frac{1}{4a}\rightarrow y=-5-\frac{1}{4(1)}\rightarrow y=-\frac{21}{4}<u />

<u />
