A study was conducted to determine whether magnets were effective in treating pain. The values represent measurements of pain us

ing the visual analog scale. Assume that both samples are independent simple random samples from populations having normal distributions. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that those given a sham treatment have pain reductions that vary more than the pain reductions for those treated with magnets.
Sham: n=20, xÌ=0.44,s=1.24n=20, xÌ=0.44,s=1.24
Magnet: n=20, xÌ=0.49,s=0.95

Required:
a. Identify the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed)
b. Use technology to identify the P-value. (Round to three decimal places as needed)
c. What is the conclusion for this hypothesis test?

Answer:

Given:

Sham: n= 20,     x=0.44,   s=1.24,

Magnet:n= 20,  x =0.49,   s= 0.95

For Sham:

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean = 0.44

Standard deviation = 1.24

For Magnet:

Sample size = 20

Sample mean = 0.49

Standard deviation = 0.95

The null and alternative hypotheses:

H0: s1²=s2²

H1: s1² ≠ s2²

a) To find the test statistics, use the formula:

\frac{s1^2}{s2^2}

\frac{1.24^2}{0.95^2} = \frac{1.5376}{0.9025} = 1.7037

Test statistics = 1.7037

b) P-value:

Sham: degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

Magnet: degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

The critical values:

[Za/2, df1, df2)], [(1 - Za/2), df1, df2]

f[0.05/2, 19, 19], f[(1 - 0.05/2), 19, 19]

f[0.025, 19, 19], f[0.975, 19, 19]

(2.526, 0.3958)

The rejection region:

Reject H0, if  F < 0.3958 or if F > 2.526

c) Conclusion:

Since the critical values of test statistic is between (0.3958 < 1.7037 < 2.526), we fail to reject null hypothesis H0.

There is insufficient evidence to to support the claim that those given a sham treatment have reductions that vary more than those treated with magnets

This is exponential decay which can be expressed as:

y=ab^t, y=final value, a=initial value, b=rate, t=time

In this case a=25000, r=(100-20)/100=0.8 so

y=25000(0.8^t), so in 4.5 years...

y=25000(0.8^4.5)

y≈$9158.93  (to nearest cent)

How many times greater is 1 kilogram than 1 microgram?
Pani-rosa [81]
Using this table as a reference, you can see the following: A kilogram is 1,000 times<span>larger than one gram (so 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams). A centimeter is </span>100 times<span>smaller than one meter (so 1 meter = 100 centimeters). A dekaliter is </span>10 times<span>larger than one liter (so 1 dekaliter = 10 liters).</span>

The perimeter of a scalene triangle is 14.5 cm. The longest side is twice that of the shortest side. Which equation can be used
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the longest side is 6.2 cm, and it is twice the length of the shortest, then we can write an equation as 2x=6.2, where x is the short side length.

Then, since a triangle has 3 sides, the medium side length is 14.5-6.2-x.

Hope that helped,

ARE YOU GOOD AT GEOMETRY??? THEN COME RIGHT HERE AND HELP YOUR DUDE OUT.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

C. Angle G is congruent to Angle T.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are written in the order of their angles. G corresponds to S because they're both written first in GRJ and STM. The only pair that doesn't line up is G and T.
