1) Define, in words.
A. The total difference in husband and wife marriage ages in Cumberland County; μd.
B. Average age of men and average age of women; μm and μw.
C. The average difference in husband and wife marriage ages in Cumberland County; μd.
2) Select the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the study.
A. Null: The average difference in marriage ages in Cumberland County is 0. Alt: The average difference in marriage ages is not 0.
B. Null: The average difference in marriage ages in Cumberland County is not 0. Alt: The average difference in marriage ages is 0.
C. Null: The average difference in marriage ages in Cumberland County is 0. Alt: The average difference in marriage ages is less than 0.
D. Null: The average difference in marriage ages in Cumberland County is 0. Alt: The average difference in marriage ages is greater than 0.
3) Select the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the study depicted using symbols
A. Null: μd = 0, Alt: μd > 0
B. Null: μd = 0, Alt: μd ≠ 0
C. Null: μd > 0, Alt: μd = 0
D. Null: μd = 0, Alt: μd < 0
4) For the 24 couples, the husbands are, on average, 1.875 years older than their wives (SD = 4.812). Use these statistics and the Theory-Based Inference applet to conduct a test of significance and report the resulting p-value to four decimal places.​
5) Based on the p-value, do you have strong evidence that, on average, husbands are older than their wives in Cumberland County?

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

1) Option C is correct.

The average difference in husband and wife marriage ages in Cumberland County; μd

2) Option D is correct.

Null: The average difference in marriage ages in Cumberland County is 0.

Alt: The average difference in marriage ages is greater than 0.

3) Option A is correct

Null: μd = 0

Alt: μd > 0

4) Given:

n = 24

d' = 1.875

Sd = 4.812

Find test statistic:

t = \frac{d'}{Sd/\sqrt{n}}

= \frac{1.875}{4.812/\sqrt{24}}

t = 1.909

Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23

Pvalue = (t_2_3 > 1.909) = 0.0344

Pvalue = 0.0344

Significance level = 0.05

5) Since p value is less than significance level, reject null hypothesis H0

Hence, there is strong evidence that, on average, husbands are older than their wives in Cumberland County

Hunter invested $750 in an account paying an interest rate of 6\tfrac{5}{8}6 8 5 ​ % compounded continuously. London invested $7
kompoz [17]

Answer: $ 55

Step-by-step explanation:

When interest is compounded continuously, the final amount will be

A=Pe^{rt}

When interest is compounded daily, the final amount will be

A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{365})^{365t}

, where P= Principal , r = rate of interest , t = time

For Hunter , P= $750, r = 6\dfrac{5}{8}\%=\dfrac{53}{8}\%=\dfrac{53}{800}=0.06625

t = 18 years

A=750e^{0.06625(18)}=\$2471.48

For London , P= $750, r = 6\dfrac{1}{2}\%=\dfrac{13}{2}\%=\neq \dfrac{13}{200}=0.065

t = 18 years

A=750(1+\dfrac{0.065}{365})^{18(365)}=\$2416.24

Difference = $ 2471.48 - $ 2416.24 =$ 55.24≈$ 55

Hence, Hunter would have $ 55 more than London in his account .

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a = 2.7

Discussion:

(2/3) ( 6a + 9 )  = 16.8         => the Distributive law

(2/3) (6a) + (2/3)9 = 16.8    =>

4a              + 6         = 16.8   => subtract 6 from both sides

4a                             = 16.8 -6 = 10.8     (divide both sides by 4)

a  = 10.8/4

   = 2.7

Thank you,

MrB
