County A County B
s1 = $11,596 s2 = $14,837
n1 = 15 n2 = 18

Answer:

(A) Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \sigma_1^{2} =\sigma_2^{2}      {means that there is no significant difference in the variances of the amounts spent in the two counties}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \sigma_1^{2} \neq \sigma_2^{2}      {means that there is a significant difference in the variances of the amounts spent in the two counties}

(B) The F-table gives critical values of 0.359 and 2.781 for (14,17) degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.

(C) The value of the F-test statistic is 0.611.

(D) We conclude that there is no significant difference in the variances of the amounts spent in the two counties.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a politician wishes to compare the variances of the amount of money spent on road repair in two different counties.

The data are given here below;

County A              County B

s1 = $11,596         s2 = $14,837

n1 = 15                     n2 = 18

Let \sigma_1^{2} = variances of the amounts spent in County A.

\sigma_2^{2} = variances of the amounts spent in County B.

(A) So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \sigma_1^{2} =\sigma_2^{2}      {means that there is no significant difference in the variances of the amounts spent in the two counties}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \sigma_1^{2} \neq \sigma_2^{2}      {means that there is a significant difference in the variances of the amounts spent in the two counties}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>Two-sample F-test statistics </u>distribution;

                             T.S. =  \frac{s_1^{2} }{s_2^{2} } \times \frac{\sigma_2^{2} }{\sigma_1^{2} }  ~ F__n_1_-_1,_ n_2_-_1

where, s_1 = sample standard deviation for County A = $11,596

s_2 = sample standard deviation for County B = $14,837

n_1 = sample size for County A = 15

n_2 =  sample size for County B = 18

(B) Now at 0.05 level of significance, the F-table gives critical values of 0.359 and 2.781 for (14,17) degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.

(C) So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{11,596^{2}  }{14,837^{2} } \times 1  ~  F__1_4,_ 1_7

                                     =  0.611

The value of the F-test statistic is 0.611.

Now, as we can see that our test statistics lie within the range of critical values of F, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.

(D) Therefore, we conclude that there is no significant difference in the variances of the amounts spent in the two counties.

Hacer una representación gráfica para nuestro caso tenemos por un punto M pasan infinitas rectas?​
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

make a graphical representation for our case do we have infinite lines pass through a point M?

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graphs of the equations do not intersect (for example, if they are parallel), then there are no solutions that are true for both equations. If the graphs of the equations are the same, then there are an infinite number of solutions that are true for both equations.

If you drew a marble from a bag containing 24 marbles and you had a 1/3 probability of drawing a red marble, how many red marble
Masja [62]
Hello there.

Question: <span>If you drew a marble from a bag containing 24 marbles and you had a 1/3 probability of drawing a red marble, How many red marbles are in the bag?

Answer: 1/3 is just a simplified version of the original fraction.
To find this out, get the denominator to the total of 24.
24 / 3 = 8.
You multiply the bottom by 8 therefore you need to do the same to the top.

In short, Your answer is </span>\frac{8}{24}.
The number of red marbles is 8.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
