Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. Th

e students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a​ professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 21.9 with a standard deviation of 3.4​, while the 200 students in group 2 had a mean score of 19.8 with a standard deviation of 3.5.
(a) Determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference in scores μ1 - μ2.

Answer:

(21.9-19.8) -1.966\sqrt{\frac{3.4^2}{200} +\frac{3.5^2}{200}}= 1.422

(21.9-19.8) -1.966 \sqrt{\frac{3.4^2}{200} +\frac{3.5^2}{200}}= 2.778

And we are 95% confident that the true difference means are between 1.422 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 2.778

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the following info:

\bar X_1 = 21.9 sample mean for group 1

\bar X_2 = 19.8 sample mean for group 2

s_1 = 3.4 sample standard deviation for group 1

s_2 = 3.5 sample standard deviation for group 2

n_1 = 200 sample size group 1

n_2 = 200 sample size group 2

We want to find a confidence interval for the difference of means and the correct formula to do this is:

(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}

Now we just need to find the critical value. The confidence level is 0.95 then the significance is 1-0.95 =0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. The degrees of freedom are given by:

df= n_1 +n_2 -2= 200+200-2= 398

The critical value for this case would be :t_{\alpha/2}=1.966  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

(21.9-19.8) -1.966\sqrt{\frac{3.4^2}{200} +\frac{3.5^2}{200}}= 1.422

(21.9-19.8) -1.966 \sqrt{\frac{3.4^2}{200} +\frac{3.5^2}{200}}= 2.778

And we are 95% confident that the true difference means are between 1.422 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 2.778

Use Fermat's Little Theorem to determine 7^542 mod 13.
m_a_m_a [10]

a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod p where p is prime, a\in\mathbb{Z} and a is not divisible by p.

7^{13-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\\\542=45\cdot12+2\\\\7^{45\cdot 12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{45\cdot 12+2}\equiv 7^2 \pmod {13}\\7^{542}\equiv 49 \pmod{13}

Function A f(x) = -2x + 10
astra-53 [7]

Watch carefully:

A 'zero' of the function is a value of 'x' that makes the function zero.

2x - 10 = 0

Add 10 to each side:

2x = 10

Divide each side by 2 :

x = 5

f(5) = 0
