On the basis of data provided by a salary survey, the variance in annual salaries for seniors in public accounting firms is appr

oximately 2.3 and the variance in annual salaries for managers in public accounting firms is approximately 11.3. The salary data were provided in thousands of dollars. Assuming that the salary data were based on samples of 25 seniors and 26 managers, test to determine whether there is a significant difference between the variances of salaries for seniors and managers. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2

The alternative  hypothesis is  H_a :  \sigma^2_1  \ne \sigma^2 _2

The conclusion is  

 There is no  sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference between the variances of salaries for seniors and managers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The variance for seniors is  s ^2_1  = 2.3

   The variance for managers  is s ^2_2  = 11.3

   The  first sample size is  n_1  = 25

    The second sample size is  n_2  =  26

    The significance level is  \alpha  =  0.05

     

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2

The alternative  hypothesis is  H_a :  \sigma^2_1  \ne \sigma^2 _2

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      F =  \frac{s_1^2}{s_2^2}

=>    F =  \frac{2.3}{11.3}

=>    F =  \frac{2.3}{11.3}

=>    F = 0.2035

Generally the p-value is obtain for the F-distribution table (Reference - Free statistic calculator ) at a degrees of freedom

          df_1 =  25 - 1

          df_1 =  24

and    df_2 =  26 - 1

           df_2 =  25

The p- value is  

        p-value  =  f_{0.2035,24,25} = 0.99989

So from the calculation we see that

       p-value  >  \alpha

So we fail to reject the null hypothesis

If an object is projected upward from the top of a 144 ft building at 112 ft per sec, its position (in feet above the ground) is
Mandarinka [93]

When it hits the ground the height would be 0.

Set h to 0 and solve for t ( time)

0 = -16t^2 + 112t + 144 divide both sides by -16:

T^2 -7t -9

Factor the polynomial :

( t- 8.1) (t+1.1

Solve for t setting each equation to 0:

T = 8.1 or t = -1.1

Time has to be positive, so the answer is

8.1 seconds

Depending on how everything gets rounded it could also be 8 seconds.

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.
Degger [83]

Answer:

y=10x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

we have

(0,-6) and (1,4)

The slope is equal to

m=(4+6)/(1-0)=10

step 2

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

we have

m=10

b=-6 -----> y-intercept (given value in the table)

substitute

y=10x-6
