A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 7.2 movies per month with a population sta

ndard deviation of 1.0. The distribution of number of movies watched per month follows the normal distribution. A random sample of 49 college students revealed that the mean number of movies watched last month was 6.5. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that college students watch fewer movies a month than high school students?
1. State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis. A. H0: μ ≥ 7.2; H1: μ < 7.2

B. H0: μ = 7.2; H1: μ ≠ 7.2

C. H0: μ > 7.2; H1: μ = 7.2

D. H0: μ ≤ 7.2; H1: μ > 7.2

2. State the decision rule.

A. Reject H1 if z < –1.645

B. Reject H0 if z > –1.645

C.Reject H1 if z > –1.645

D. Reject H0 if z < –1.645

3. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Value of the test statistic______________?

4. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) ________________?

Answer:

1. Option A

2. Option D) Reject null hypothesis if z < –1.645

3. z = -4.90

4. P-value = 0.00001

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 7.2

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 6.5

Sample size, n = 49

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 1.0

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu \geq 7.2\text{ movies per month}\\H_A: \mu < 7.2\text{ movies per month}

Option A) is the correct answer

We use one-tailed(left) z test to perform this hypothesis.

c) Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{6.5 - 7.2}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{49}} } = -4.90

b) Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.645

Rejection rule:

If calculated z-statistic is less than the critical z-value, we reject the null hypothesis.

Option D) Reject null hypothesis if z < –1.645

d) Now, we calculate the p-value with the help of standard normal table.

P-value = 0.00001

Since the p-value is lower than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that the college students watch fewer movies a month than high school students.

iren2701 [21]

The full length of the journey = 3150 miles

on the first day they completed = 567 miles

suppose 567 is x% of 3150 So

3150 x = 567

--------------

100

let us multiply both sides by 100 and divide both sides by 3150

x= 567 * 100

---------------

3150

x= 18

Answer is 18 %

Given the function f(x) = x2 and k = 3, which of the following represents the graph becoming more narrow?
Bess [88]
Functions A and C and D are translations - this means that they are exactly the same shape as f(x), but are displaced on the axes. A translation in the y-direction by k units is represented by f(x) + k, and a translation in the x-direction by k units is represented by f(x - k). This can be summarised in column vector notation:

A translation of the graph y = f(x), by the vector \left[\begin{array}{ccc}a\\b\end{array}\right] results in the graph defined by y - b = f(x - a). This is done by replacing x with (x - a) and y with (y - b). Finally it is rearranged to make y the subject, as is often the convention: y = f(x - a) + b.

Since the graph needs to change shape, this requires a 'stretch'. A stretch is performed by multiplying x or y by a constant, which here is k.

To stretch in the x-direction by a factor n, replace x with (1/n)x. Similarly to stretch in the y-direction by a factor n, replace y with (1/n)y.

For example to stretch y = f(x) by factor n in the x-direction, it would become y = f((1/n)x).

A simple quadratic graph like y = x^2 behaves slightly differently to most other graphs, in that it can narrowed by a stretch in the x or y direction. This means that a more convenient option is to perform a stretch in the y direction, since the multiplier lies outside the function notation. The stretching factor is 3, so we replace y with (1/3)y:

(1/3)y = f(x)
y = 3f(x)

Since k = 3, this becomes

y = kf(x)

... and hence the correct answer is B

One number exceeds another by 5 the sum of the numbers is 37 . What are the numbers
Eduardwww [97]
One number = x
Another number = y

x = y + 5
x + y = 37

(y + 5) + y = 37
2y + 5 = 37
2y = 32
y = 16

x = (16) + 5
x = 21

The numbers are 16 and 21.

If the bottom row as a result of sythetic division is 1 3 0 4 0, then the quotient is which of the following? Select one:
zmey [24]

The quotient of the synthetic division is x^3 + 3x^2 + 4

<h3>How to determine the quotient?</h3>

The bottom row of synthetic division given as:

1 3 0 4 0

The last digit represents the remainder, while the other represents the quotient.

So, we have:

Quotient = 1 3 0 4

Introduce the variables

Quotient = 1x^3 + 3x^2 + 0x + 4

Evaluate

Quotient = x^3 + 3x^2 + 4

Hence, the quotient of the synthetic division is x^3 + 3x^2 + 4
