A counselor at a community college claims that the mean GPA for students who have transferred to State University is more than 3

.1. A random sample of 36 such students had a mean GPA of 3.25 with a standard deviation of 0.3. Test the counselor's claim at the 99% level of confidence. a) Yes. The counselor's claim is valid. b) No. The counselor's claim is not valid. c) both a and b are correct, depending on the total number of students transferred to State Universty d) None of the above.

Answer:

t=\frac{3.25-3.1}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{36}}}=3  

If we compare the p value and the significance level for example \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

And the best conclusion would be:

a) Yes. The counselor's claim is valid

Because we reject the null hypothesis in favor to the alternative hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=3.25 represent the sample mean

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation

n=36 sample size  

\mu_o =3.1 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha 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 more than 3.1, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3.1  

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{3.25-3.1}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{36}}}=3  

P-value  

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=36-1=35  

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

p_v =P(t_{(35)}>3)=0.00247  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level for example \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

And the best conclusion would be:

a) Yes. The counselor's claim is valid

Because we reject the null hypothesis in favor to the alternative hypothesis.

Ivan has $1098 worth of $12 and $14 stock shares. The number of $14 shares is seven more than
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Number of 12$ Shares? 25

Number of 14$ Shares? 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of $12 shares.

Let y = number of $14 shares.

"Ivan has $1098 worth of $12 and $14 stock shares."
12x + 14y = 1098

The number of $14 shares is seven more than twice the number of $12 shares.

y = 2x + 7

We have a system of equations.

12x + 14y = 1098

y = 2x + 7

We can use the substitution method since the second equation is already solved for y. Substitute 2x + 7 for y in the first equation.

12x + 14(2x + 7) = 1098

12x + 28x + 98 = 1098

40x = 1000

x = 25

There are 25 $12 shares.

y = 2x + 7 = 2(25) + 7 = 57

There are 57 $14 shares.

Check:

25 × $12 + 57 × $1`4 = $300 + $798 = $1098

The total value is correct, so the answer is correct.

Dennis_Churaev [7]
Ex:  12/5 so first u find the multiple or factor i think of 12 that won't go over which is 10 so it would be 2 2/5 cuz. 5 x 2 = 10 + 2 = 12= 12/5

toni bought an old bike for 50$. She fixed it up and sold it for $80. What percent of the original value was toni’s sale price
ikadub [295]
For this case what you must do is the following rule of three:
 50 ---> 100
 80 ----> x
 We clear x:
 x = (80/50) * (100)
 x = 160%
 160-100 = 60%
 Answer:
 toni added 60% of the original value for his sale price
