Assume the general population gets an average of 7 hours of sleep per night. You randomly select 45 college students and survey

them on their sleep habits. From this sample, the mean number of hours of sleep is found to be 6.87 hours with a standard deviation of 0.55 hours. You claim that college students get less sleep than the general population. That is, you claim the mean number of hours of sleep for all college students is less than 7 hours. Test this claim at the 0.10 significance level.
(a) What type of test is this?

i. This is a right-tailed test.
ii. This is a left-tailed test.
iii. This is a two-tailed test.
(b) What is the test statistic? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

tx= _________
(c) What is the critical value of t? Use the answer found in the t-table or round to 3 decimal places.

tα = _________
(d) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis?

i. reject H0
ii. fail to reject H0
(e) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.

i. The data supports the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.
ii. There is not enough data to support the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.
iii. We reject the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.
iv. We have proven that college students get less sleep than the general population.

Answer:

a) ii. This is a left-tailed test.

b) -1.59

c) -1.301

d) i. reject null hypothesis

e) Option i) The data supports the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 7 hours

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 6.87 hours

Sample size, n = 45

Alpha, α = 0.10

Sample standard deviation, s =  0.55 hours

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 7\text{ hours}\\H_A: \mu < 7\text{ hours}

a) We use one-tailed(left) t test to perform this hypothesis.

b) Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{6.87 - 7}{\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{45}} } =-1.59

c) Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.10 level of significance, 44 degree of freedom } = -1.301

Since,                    

t_{stat} < t_{critical}

d) We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

We accept the alternate hypothesis and conclude that  mean number of hours of sleep for all college students is less than 7 hours.

e) Option i) The data supports the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.

In a class of 40 students, the number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys. We have to find the number of girls and the n
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

b=15 g=25

Step-by-step explanation:

lets translate that story problem to mathematics equations

the problem told that no. of girls are 10 more than no of boys so this will =

g=b+10

then in class there are 40 students that means

g+b=40

now we have to equations with two variables then we should substitute

(b+10)+b=40

lets remove the brackets

2b+10=40 subtract 10 from both sides

2b=30 now divide both by 2

b=15 so g=25 after you write the equation once again with the new proof or number

College Calculus - hyperbolic functions (see attachment)
morpeh [17]

Answer:

g(x) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7x^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( x^( 3+x))))

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus

Taking the derivative of the integral gives back the function

Since the lower limit is a constant when we take the derivative it is zero

d/dx \int\limits^x_4 {g(t)} \, dt  = g(x)

g(t) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7t^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( t^( 3+t))))

Replacing t with x

g(x) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7x^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( x^( 3+x))))
