12345 [234]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2> 0$

where μ1: mean calorie estimation for the cheesecake group and μ2: mean calorie estimation for the organic salad group.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first (P-value=0.0000002).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

"Suppose that the study was based on a sample of 20 people who thought about the cheesecake first and 20 people who thought about the organic fruit salad first, and the standard deviation of the number of calories in the cheeseburger was 128 for the people who thought about the cheesecake first and 140 for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first.

At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first?"

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between populations means.

The claim is that the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2> 0$

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample 1 (cheese cake), of size n1=20 has a mean of 780 and a standard deviation of 128.

The sample 2 (organic salad), of size n2=20 has a mean of 1041 and a standard deviation of 140.

The difference between sample means is Md=-261.

$M_d=M_1-M_2=780-1041=-261$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{128^2}{20}+\dfrac{140^2}{20}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{819.2+980}=\sqrt{1799.2}=42.417$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{-261-0}{42.417}=\dfrac{-261}{42.417}=-6.153$

The degrees of freedom for this test are:

$df=n_1+n_2-1=20+20-2=38$

This test is a left-tailed test, with 38 degrees of freedom and t=-6.153, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$P-value=P(t$

As the P-value (0.0000002) is smaller than the significance level (0.01), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first.

The sum of 3 consecutive multiples of 4 is 180.

Paul [167]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

56, 60, 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle of the three numbers is their average: 180/3 = 60. The other two will be 4 more or less than this.

The numbers of interest are 56, 60, 64.

_____

Additional comment

For "consecutive integer" problems, it is often useful to work with the average of the numbers. The average will be the middle number of an odd number of numbers (as here), or will be halfway between the two middle numbers if their number is even.

Even if you bother to write equations, it can work to do that in terms of the average value (middle number): (x -4) +(x) +(x +4) = 180 in this case.

Medical expenses aren't necessarily a monthly expense since many people are healthy and therefore don't require this on a monthly basis.

A population proportion is . A sample of size will be taken and the sample proportion will be used to estimate the population pr

padilas [110]

Complete Question:

A population proportion is 0.4. A sample of size 200 will be taken and the sample proportion p will be used to estimate the population proportion. Use z- table Round your answers to four decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations. a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.03 of the population proportion? b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.08 of the population proportion?

Answer:

A) 0.61351

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion = 0.4

Sample population = 200

A.) proprobaility that sample proportion 'p' is within ±0.03 of population proportion

Statistically:

P(0.4-0.03<p<0.4+0.03)

P[((0.4-0.03)-0.4)/√((0.4)(.6))/200 < z < ((0.4+0.03)-0.4)/√((0.4)(.6))/200

P[-0.03/0.0346410 < z < 0.03/0.0346410

P(−0.866025 < z < 0.866025)

P(z < - 0.8660) - P(z < 0.8660)

0.80675 - 0.19325

= 0.61351

B) proprobaility that sample proportion 'p' is within ±0.08 of population proportion

Statistically:

P(0.4-0.08<p<0.4+0.08)

P[((0.4-0.08)-0.4)/√((0.4)(.6))/200 < z < ((0.4+0.08)-0.4)/√((0.4)(.6))/200

P[-0.08/0.0346410 < z < 0.08/0.0346410

P(−2.3094 < z < 2.3094)

P(z < -2.3094 ) - P(z < 2.3094)

0.98954 - 0.010461

= 0.97908
