Answer:

-48

Step-by-step explanation:

So plug in -16 for x:

h(-16) = 2(-16)-16

h(-16) = -32-16

h(-16) = -48

YAY OR NAY?! :D

Hope this helps!! XD

Examination of a large sample of people revealed a relationship between calcium intake and blood pressure. The relationship was

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (-1.171, 11.717).

b) No, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that increasing the amount of calcium in our diet reduce blood pressure (at a 5% significance level).

Step-by-step explanation:

The data for both groups are:

Group 1 (calcium): 7 -4 18 17 -3 -5 1 10 11 -2

Group 2 (placebo): -1 12 -1 -3 3 -5 5 2 -11 -1 -3

The mean and standard deviation for Group 1 is:

$M_1=\dfrac{1}{10}\sum_{i=1}^{10}(7+(-4)+18+17+(-3)+(-5)+1+10+11+(-2))\\\\\\ M_1=\dfrac{50}{10}=5$

$s_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(n-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\$

$s_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot [(7-(5))^2+(-4-(5))^2+...+(-2-(5))^2]}\\\\\\$

$s_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot [(4)+(81)+(169)+(144)+(64)+(100)+(16)+(25)+(36)+(49)]}\\\\\\s_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{688}{9}}=\sqrt{76.44}\\\\\\s_1=8.743$

The mean and standard deviation for Group 2 is:

$M_2=\dfrac{1}{11}\sum_{i=1}^{11}((-1)+12+(-1)+(-3)+3+(-5)+5+2+(-11)+(-1)+(-3))\\\\\\ M_2=\dfrac{-3}{11}=-0.273$

$s_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(n-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{11}(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\$

$s_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}\cdot [(-1-(-0.273))^2+(12-(-0.273))^2+...+(-3-(-0.273))^2]}\\\\\\$

$s_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}\cdot [(0.53)+(150.62)+...+(115.07)+(0.53)+(7.44)]}\\\\\\s_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{348.182}{10}}=\sqrt{34.82}\\\\\\s_2=5.901$

a) We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between means, with a T-model.

The Group 1, of size n1=10 has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 8.743.

The Group 2, of size n2=11 has a mean of -0.273 and a standard deviation of 5.901.

The difference between sample means is Md=5.273.

$M_d=M_1-M_2=5-(-0.273)=5.273$

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

$s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{8.743^2}{10}+\dfrac{5.901^2}{11}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{7.644+3.166}=\sqrt{10.81}=3.288$

The degrees of freedom for this test are:

$df=n_1+n_2-1=10+11-2=19$

The critical t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 19 degrees of freedom is t=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=t\cdot s_{M_d}=1.96 \cdot 3.288=6.444$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = 5.273-6.444=-1.171\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = 5.273+6.444=11.717$

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is (-1.171, 11.717).

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

The claim is that increasing the amount of calcium in our diet reduce blood pressure.

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 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=10 has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 8.743.

The sample 1, of size n1=11 has a mean of -0.273 and a standard deviation of 5.901.

The difference between sample means is Md=5.273.

$M_d=M_1-M_2=5-(-0.273)=5.273$

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

$s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{8.743^2}{10}+\dfrac{5.901^2}{11}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{7.644+3.166}=\sqrt{10.81}=3.288$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{5.273-0}{3.288}=\dfrac{5.273}{3.288}=1.604$

The degrees of freedom for this test are:

$df=n_1+n_2-1=10+11-2=19$

This test is a right-tailed test, with 19 degrees of freedom and t=1.604, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$P-value=P(t>1.604)=0.063$

As the P-value (0.063) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that increasing the amount of calcium in our diet reduce blood pressure.

Which of the following represents the geometric sequence?

anastassius [24]

The answer is sequence I (choice A)
The common ratio is r = 1 because we multiply each term by 1 to get the next term. No change happens when we multiply any number by 1. Another way to find the common ratio is to pick any term and divide it by its previous term.

----------------------------------

Choice B is not the answer because (1/5) divided by (1/4) = 0.2/0.25 = 0.8
and because (1/6) divided by (1/5) = 0.833 approximately. We don't get the same value each time. So the common ratio doesn't stay the same.

Choice C is not the answer either since most of the terms are positive but the -4 in slot 3 is not positive. If it was positive, then the common ratio would be 4 and this sequence would be geometric. If the terms alternated between positive and negative, then it would work as well (r would be r = -4)

Choice D has alternating terms of positive and negative, but there's no change in absolute value. There is no growth or decay as this the terms effectively stay the same. So there is no common ratio. This is why we can rule out choice D.
