Answer:

a) 0.76197086

b) -1.73406361

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Consider a t distribution with 7 degrees of freedom. Compute P(-1.29 < t < 1.29)

P(-1.29 < t < 1.29) would be the area under the t distribution curve with 7 degrees of freedom between -1.29 and 1.29, that is in the interval (-1.29, 1.29).

This can be done the old style by looking up in a table or by using the technology with a spreadsheet.

In Excel, the function TDIST(x,n,2) with x>0 gives the area outside the interval (-x, x) of the t distribution with n degrees of freedom.

So TDIST(1.29,7,2) gives the area outside (-1.29, 1.29).

If we subtract this value from 1 we get the desired result

Hence  

P(-1.29 < t < 1.29) = 1 - TDIST(1.29,7,2) = 1 - 0.23802914 = 0.76197086

In OpenOffice Calc, the function is the same replacing “,” with “;”  

That is

P(-1.29 < t < 1.29) = 1 - TDIST(1.29;7;2) = 0.76197086

b)

Consider a t distribution with 18 degrees of freedom. Find the value of c such that P(t≤ c) = 0.05

We are looking for a point c such that the area of the t distribution with 18 degrees of freedom to the left of c is 0.05

In Excel, the inverse function of TDIST is TINV.  

TINV(p*2,n) with p>0 gives the point c such that the area of the t distribution with n degrees of freedom to the right of c is p.  

Since <em>the t distribution is symmetric with respect to 0</em>, -c would be a point such that the area to the left of -c is p.

So we want to compute  in Excel

-TINV(0.05*2,18) = -1.73406361

In OpenOffice Calc  

-TINV(0.05*2;18) = -1.73406361

-(5a+6)=2(3a+8) what is the answer
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-(5a+6)=2(3a+8)

-5a -6 = 2*3a +2*8

-5a -6 = 6a +16

-5a -6a = 16+6

-11a = 22

a= -22/11

a = -2
