Answer:

(-1.5, -13.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2

( 17+-14)/2 = 3/2 =1.5

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2

( -11+-16)/2 = -27/2= - 13.5

Answer:

(1.5, -13.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

Simply plug in our coordinates into the formula:

x = (17 - 14)/2

x = 3/2

y = (-11 - 16)/2

y = -27/2

A random sample of 180 microbiology students were asked how many science classes he or she was enrolled in August 1990. The resu

frutty [35]

Answer:

$z=\frac{1.83-1.94}{\sqrt{\frac{1.48^2}{180}+\frac{1.62^2}{180}}}}=-0.673$

$p_v =2*P(z$

Comparing the p value with the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and a would NOT be a significant difference in the two means

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{1}=1.83$ represent the mean in 1990

$\bar X_{2}=1.94$ represent the mean for 2005

$s_{1}=1.48$ represent the sample deviation for 1990

$s_{2}=1.62$ represent the sample standard deviation for 2005

$n_{1}=180$ sample size for 1990

$n_{2}=180$ sample size for 2005

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the means for the two groups are different, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}=\mu_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}$

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{1.83-1.94}{\sqrt{\frac{1.48^2}{180}+\frac{1.62^2}{180}}}}=-0.673$

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

100 students are interviewed to see which of biology, chemistry or physics they prefer.

Art [367]

Answer:

43%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 39 girls. 21 of them like biology. 11 out of 34 who like chemistry are girls.

No. of girls who prefer biology = 21

There are (100-39) boys. 16 of them like physics. (34-11) of them like chemistry.

No. of boys who prefer biology = 100-39-16-34+11

= 22

Percentage of students who prefer biology = $\frac{21+22}{100}$ × 100%

= $\frac{43}{100}$ × 100%

= 43%
