Men are believed to have a slightly longer average length of short hospital stays than women; 5.2 days versus 4.5 days respectiv

ely. A random sample of short hospital stays for men and women showed the following. At ???? =0.01, is there enough evidence to conclude the average short hospital stay for men is indeed longer than that for women? (Use the traditional method to test the hypothesis).

Answer:

Since our calculated value is lower than our critical value,z_{calc}=2.02, we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of singificance. So there is not nough evidence to conclude that mean for men it's significantly higher than the mean for female.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X_{1}=5.2 represent the mean for group men  

\bar X_{2}=4.5 represent the mean for group women  

Assuming these values for the remaining data:

\sigma_{1}=1.2 represent the population standard deviation for the sample men

\sigma_{2}=1.5 represent the population standard deviation for the sample women

n_{1}=32 sample size for the group men  

n_{2}=30 sample size for the group women  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for men it's higher than the mean for women, the system of hypothesis would be:  

H0:\mu_{1} \leq \mu_{2}  

H1:\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}  

If we analyze the size for the samples both are higher than 30, and we know the population deviation's, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)  

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.  

3) Calculate the statistic  

We have all in order to replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{5.2-4.5}{\sqrt{\frac{1.2^2}{32}+\frac{1.5^2}{30}}}=2.02  

4) Find the critical value

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are conducting a right tailed test, so we are looking on the normal standard distribution a value that accumulats 0.01 of the area on the right and 0.99 of the area on the left. We can us excel or a table to find it, for example the code in Excel is:

"=NORM.INV(1-0.01,0,1)", and we got z_{critical}=2.33

5) Statistical decision

Since our calculated value is lower than our critical value,z_{calc}=2.02, we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance. So there is not nough evidence to conclude that mean for men it's significantly higher than the mean for female.

Answer:

Rx)=1/3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal stretch is simply making the parabola of the parent function wider, it's kind of like changing the slope of a line to make it less steep.

In the graph, the red line is the parent function and the blue line is the horizontally stretched function.  See how the blue line appears to be stretched (horizontally).

Please please help I really need it today please show work
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<u><em>x=9</em></u>.

<em><u>perimeter=68</u></em>

<em><u>area=168</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the side that has a exact number which would be the bottom 28cm then look at the opposite side (2x+10) in order to find x subtract 10 from 28 which gives you 18, now 2x means x multiplied by 2 so what multiplied by 2 = 18? 9 meaning <u><em>x=9</em></u>. Now you are going to want to plug 9 in to your short side (x-3) once you plug it in it should look like this 9-3 and 9-3=6 meaning the short side is 6cm. In order for you to find the perimeter you have to add the sides together so 28+28+6+6 wich <u><em>=68</em></u> and in order for you to find the area you have to  multiply the length and the width so 28x6 which is <em><u>168</u></em>.

hope that helped :)

What is the value of a in the equation 3a + b = 54, when b = 9?
nasty-shy [4]
In order to do this you have to substitute b with 9 and get 3a+9=54, now subtract 9 from both sides to leave a by itself and get 3a=45, now divide 3 in both sides to leave a by itself and get a=15

Hope this helps
