A company wants to find out if the average response time to a request differs across its two servers. Say µ1 is the true mean/ex

pectation response time on server 1 and µ2 the true mean/expectation response time on server 2. Independent samples across the two servers is taken. 196 observations on server 1 return a sample mean of X¯ = 12.5 seconds and a sample variance of s 2 = 9 seconds. 225 observations on server 2 return a sample mean of X¯ = 12.2 seconds and a sample variance of s2 = 16 seconds.
Required:

a. Write the null and alternative hypothesis that will address the goal of the company. Compute the test statistic, and state how you would obtain the p-value.
b. Say the p-value is very large (closer to 1). In a sentence or two explain what you would conclude about the null and alternative hypothesis.
c. Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the two servers population expectations.
d. The 95% confidence interval from part c. contains 0. How does this result relate to your explanation in part b? Explain in a sentence or two.

Answer:

a) The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0

Test statistic t=0.88

The P-value is obtained from a t-table, taking into acount the degrees of freedom (419) and the type of test (two-tailed).

b)  A P-value close to 1 means that a sample result have a high probability to be obtained due to chance, given that the null hypothesis is true. It means that there is little evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

c) The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the two servers population expectations is (-0.372, 0.972).

d) The consequences of the confidence interval containing 0 means that the hypothesis that there is no difference between the response time (d=0) is not a unprobable value for the true difference.

This relate to the previous conclusion as there is not enough evidence to support that there is significant difference between the response time, as the hypothesis that there is no difference is not an unusual value for the true difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

The claim is that there is significant difference in the time response for the two servers.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=196 has a mean of 12.5 and a standard deviation of 3.

The sample 2, of size n2=225 has a mean of 12.2 and a standard deviation of 4.

The difference between sample means is Md=0.3.

M_d=M_1-M_2=12.5-12.2=0.3

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{3^2}{196}+\dfrac{4^2}{225}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{0.046+0.071}=\sqrt{0.117}=0.342

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{0.3-0}{0.342}=\dfrac{0.3}{0.342}=0.88

The degrees of freedom for this test are:

df=n_1+n_2-1=196+225-2=419

This test is a two-tailed test, with 419 degrees of freedom and t=0.88, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>0.88)=0.381

As the P-value (0.381) is greater 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 there is significant difference in the time response for the two servers.

<u>Confidence interval </u>

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between means.

The sample 1, of size n1=196 has a mean of 12.5 and a standard deviation of 3.

The sample 2, of size n2=225 has a mean of 12.2 and a standard deviation of 4.

The difference between sample means is Md=0.3.

The estimated standard error of the difference is s_Md=0.342.

The critical t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 419 degrees of freedom is t=1.966.

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

MOE=t\cdot s_{M_d}=1.966 \cdot 0.342=0.672

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

LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = 0.3-0.672=-0.372\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = 0.3+0.672=0.972

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the two servers population expectations is (-0.372, 0.972).

It costs $35 for one adult and two children to attend a show. It costs $60 for two adults and three children to attend the same
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

For one adult it costs $15

For one child it costs $10

Step-by-step explanation:

So..

One adult = $15

Two children = $20 10×10

= $35

Then..

Two adult = $30 15×15

Three children = $30 10×10×10

= $60

The crime rate of a certain city is increasing by exactly 6% each year. If there were 550
kap26 [50]

Using an exponential function, it is found that the approximate number of crimes in the year of 2016 was of 2502.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, there were 550 crimes in the initial year observed, and the growth rate is of 6%, hence the parameters are A(0) = 550, r = 0.06, and the equation is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t

A(t) = 550(1 + 0.06)^t

A(t) = 550(1.06)^t

2016 is 26 years after 1990, hence:

A(26) = 550(1.06)^{26} \approx 2502

The approximate number of crimes in the year of 2016 was of 2502.

Solve the system using elimination.<br> 2x + 3y = -2<br> 3х – 6у = 18
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

x = 2 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first eliminate the y-variable:

2x + 3y = -2

3x - 6y = 18

4x + 6y = -4

3x - 6y = 18

_________

7x = 14

x = 2

Since we know x=2, we plug that back into one of the original equations to find y:

2x + 3y = -2

2(2) + 3y = -2

4 + 3y = -2

3y = -6

y = -2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = -2
