One stats class consists of 52 women and 28 men. Assume the average exam score on Exam 1 was 74 (σ = 10.43; assume the whole cla

ss is a population). A random sample of 16 students yielded an average of a 75 on the first exam (s=16). What is the z-score of the sample mean? Is this sample significantly different from the population? (Hint: Use the z-score formula for locating a sample mean)

Answer:

(A) What is the z- score of the sample mean?

The z- score of the sample mean is 0.0959

(B) Is this sample significantly different from the population?

No; at 0.05 alpha level (95% confidence) and (n-1 =79) degrees of freedom, the sample mean is NOT significantly different from the population mean.

Step -by- step explanation:

(A) To find the z- score of the sample mean,

X = 75 which is the raw score

¶ = 74 which is the population mean

S. D. = 10.43 which is the population standard deviation of/from the mean

Z = [X-¶] ÷ S. D.

Z = [75-74] ÷ 10.43 = 0.0959

Hence, the sample raw score of 75 is only 0.0959 standard deviations from the population mean. [This is close to the population mean value].

(B) To test for whether this sample is significantly different from the population, use the One Sample T- test. This parametric test compares the sample mean to the given population mean.

The estimated standard error of the mean is s/√n

S. E. = 16/√80 = 16/8.94 = 1.789

The Absolute (Calculated) t value is now: [75-74] ÷ 1.789 = 1 ÷ 1.789 = 0.559

Setting up the hypotheses,

Null hypothesis: Sample is not significantly different from population

Alternative hypothesis: Sample is significantly different from population

Having gotten T- cal, T- tab is found thus:

The Critical (Table) t value is found using

- a specific alpha or confidence level

- (n - 1) degrees of freedom; where n is the total number of observations or items in the population

- the standard t- distribution table

Alpha level = 0.05

1 - (0.05 ÷ 2) = 0.975

Checking the column of 0.975 on the t table and tracing it down to the row with 79 degrees of freedom;

The critical t value is 1.990

Since T- cal < T- tab (0.559 < 1.990), refute the alternative hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.

Hence, with 95% confidence, it is derived that the sample is not significantly different from the population.

What is it called when writing a number by adding the value of each digit
Neko [114]

Answer:

Expanded form

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanded form or expanded notation is a system of writing numbers to see the value of each individual digits. The number are written in the form of tens, hundreds and ones etc. The expanded form of 44 will be 40 +4 where 4 is at ones place and 40 is at tens place.

When the angle of elevation of the sun is 78 degrees, a tree casts a 13 foot shadow. How tall is the tree?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: 61.16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in this situation as a triangle rectangle.

where:

The height of the tree is one cathetus

The shadow of the tree is the other cathetus.

We know that the angle of elevation of the sun is 78°, an angle of elevation is measured from the ground, then the adjacent cathetus to this angle is the shadow of the tree. And the opposite cathetus will be the height of the tree.

Now we can remember the relationship:

Tg(A) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Where:

A = 78°

Adjacent cathetus = 13ft

opposite cathetus = height of the tree = H

Then we have the equation:

Tg(78°) = H/13ft

Tg(78°)*13ft = H = 61.16 ft
