A random sample of n = 40 observations from a quantitative population produced a mean x = 2.2 and a standard deviation s = 0.29.

Your research objective is to show that the population mean μ exceeds 2.1. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that μ > 2.1? (Use a 5% significance level.)

Answer:

t=\frac{2.2-2.1}{\frac{0.29}{\sqrt{40}}}=2.18    

df=n-1=40-1=39  

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

p_v =P(t_{(39)}>2.18)=0.0177  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and then the population mes seems to be higher than 2.1 at 5% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=2.2 represent the sample mean

s=0.29 represent the sample standard deviation

n=40 sample size  

\mu_o =2.1 represent the value that we want to test

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

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

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

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 2,1, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 2.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 2.1  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

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

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{2.2-2.1}{\frac{0.29}{\sqrt{40}}}=2.18    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=40-1=39  

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

p_v =P(t_{(39)}>2.18)=0.0177  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and then the population mes seems to be higher than 2.1 at 5% of significance

What is the value of f?<br><br> 6f−12=−4f+6
Xelga [282]

First you had to add by twelve from both sides of equation form.

6f-12+12=-4f+6+12

Then simplify.

6f=-4f+18

Next, add by four-f from both sides of equation form.

6f+4f=-4f+18+4f

Simplify.

10f=18

Then you divide by ten from both sides of equation form.

\frac{10f}{10}= \frac{18}{10}

Finally simplify by equation.

f=\frac{9}{5}

Final answer: \boxed{f=9/5}

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.

last weeekend trisha and becca both went on a bike ride trisha biked 8 miles in two hours and becca biked 10 kilometers in 7800
S_A_V [24]
So first I’m going to change the 10 kilometre in miles which is 6.214 miles
Then I’m going to convert 7800 seconds in hours which is 2.16 hours so now the data shows that Trisha biked 8 miles in 2 hours and becca biked 6.214 miles in 2.16 hours
So Trisha was faster than becca
