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

lorasvet [3.4K]

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).

Jean drove 64 miles per hour for a total of 448 miles on a trip. She used the equation below to calculate the time, t, it would

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is no given formula I'm guessing that's what we want to find?

use the dist. = rate * time formula for this kind of problem

or d = r*t ( this looks like the word "dirt" to me so I call this the dirt formula partly b/c it's dirt simple, and it's generally about moving across some give dist. of dirt :P )

so Jean's rate is 64 MPH

her total distance is 448 miles

rearrange the d = rt formula so that you are solving for the thing you don't know.. yet.... t (time) for this case

soooo...

d/r = t

plug in number

448 / 64 = t

7 = t (in hours)

Hello there! Emperor Constantine the Great, otherwise known as Constantine I, legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire.

Constantine I stopped the bans on Christianity in an effort to gain supporters of his control/power. Hope this helps!
