From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that ag

e remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 41 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)

Answer:

z=\frac{18.1-19}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{41}}}=-2.744    

p_v =P(z  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can say that the true mean is significantly lower than 19 and not support the statement provided that the mean starting age is at least 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=18.1 represent the sample mean    

\sigma=2.1 represent the population standard deviation

n=41 sample size  

\mu_o =19 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

For this case we have the sample deviation but since the population deviation is also used we conduct the procedure with the population value.

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is at least 19, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 19  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 19  

The statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{18.1-19}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{41}}}=-2.744    

P-value

Since is a one side lower test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

Conclusion  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can say that the true mean is significantly lower than 19 and not support the statement provided that the mean starting age is at least 19

Line m is parallel to line p. m ∠ HEF = 39º and m ∠ IGF = 13º. Find the m ∠ EFG. Explain in detail how you know you are correct.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The measure of ∠EFG is 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line m is parallel to line p. m∠HEF = 39º and m∠IGF = 13º.we have to find m∠EFG.

In ΔJFG,

By angle sum property of triangle, which states that sum of all angles of triangle is 180°

m∠FJG+m∠JGF+m∠JFG=180°

⇒ 39°+13°+m∠JFG=180°

⇒ m∠JFG=180°-39°-13°=128°

As JFE is a straight line ∴ ∠JFG and ∠EFG forms linear pair

⇒ m∠JFG+m∠EFG=180°

⇒ 128°+m∠EFG=180°

⇒ m∠EFG=52°

The measure of ∠EFG is 52°

Please answer with clear instructions so that i can apply this to other questions
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1 and - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope ( gradient ) )

y = x ← is in this form

with gradient m = 1

Parallel lines have equal gradients

Then the gradients of lines parallel to the given line is 1

Given a line with gradient m then the gradient of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{1} = - 1

Then the gradients of lines perpendicular to this line is - 1

For the figure above: Assume that &lt;ABD has a mesure of 105° ANSWER ASAP WILL GIVE 15 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

DBC = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

ABD  and DBC   are  supplementary angles.  They add to 180 degrees.

ABD + DBC = 180

105 + DBC = 180

Subtract 105 from each side

105-105 + DBC = 180-105

DBC = 75
