A philanthropic organization helped a town in Africa dig several wells to gain access to clean water. Before the wells were in p

lace, an average of 120 infants contracted typhoid each month. After the wells were installed, the philanthropic organization surveyed for four months and found an average of 90 infants contracted typhoid per month. Assume that the population standard deviation is 40 and the number of infants that contract typhoid is normally distributed. Calculate the value of the appropriate test statistic.

Answer: -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When population standard deviation is known, then the formula to find the z-test statistic for population mean is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where n= Sample size.

\mu = Population mean

\overline{x} = Sample mean

\sigma= Population standard deviation.

As per  given , we have \mu=120 (average infants contracted typhoid each month)

\sigma=40

n= 4 (No. of months)

\overline{x}=90

Then , the value of the appropriate test statistic will be :

z=\dfrac{90-120}{\dfrac{40}{\sqrt{4}}}

z=\dfrac{-30}{\dfrac{40}{2}}

z=\dfrac{-30}{20}

z=-1.5

Hence, the value of the test statistic = -1.5

The points (-10, 0) and (-5, 3) fall on a particular line. What is it’s equation in slope-intercept form?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

  y = 3/5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

When given two points, it is convenient to start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line, then rearrange it to the form needed for the problem. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the equation is ...

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1

Filling in the given point coordinates, this is ...

  y = (3 -0)/(-5 -(-10))·(x -(-10)) + 0

  y = 3/5(x +10)

  y = (3/5)x + 6

Mack the bug starts at (0,0) at noon and each minute moves one unit right or one unit up. He is trying to get to the point (5,7)
PSYCHO15rus [73]
<span>This is a very nice counting question. Suggestion / Hint: Count how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3). Then subtract that from ALL POSSIBLE ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7). Hint for the hint: How many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3)? Well, that's the SUM of how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (2,3) and how many ways he get get from (2,3) to (5,7). Hope this helps! :)</span>
