Maria is planning to attend UCLA. She is curious what the average age of UCLA students is. Since most students that attend UCLA

are in their 20’s yet there are also students up to 70 years old, the population is positively skewed. The college conducted a random sample of 65 students and found that the sample mean was 29.0 years old with a standard deviation of 5.2 years. Does this data meet the assumptions necessary to perform a hypothesis test? If so, use a 10% significance level to test the claim that the average age of students at UCLA is 30 years old.

Answer:

Yes

We fail to reject the alternative hypothesis Hₐ < 30, that is the average age of students is less than 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes because, there is an average age of a sample which can be tested against a null hypotheses

We put

Null hypothesis as H₀ = 30

The alternative hypothesis as Hₐ < 30

We have

z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}

With

\bar x = 29

μ = 30

σ = 5.2

n = 65

α = 10%

We have

Here we have z = -1.55 and critical z = -1.28

Which gives a critical \bar x of 29.83 with the probability P = 0.061 < 0.1 Hence we reject the null hypothesis as there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the average age is less than 30 years.

Answer: (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-3}\\\\g(x)=\sqrt{x+5}

Here, \sqrt{x+5}\ \text{is always greater than equal to 0}\\\Rightarrow x+5\geq 0\\\Rightarrow x\geq -5\quad \ldots(i)

To get f\left(g(x)\right), replace x in f(x) by g(x)\ \text{i.e. by}\ \sqrt{x+5}

\Rightarrow f\left(g(x)\right)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}-3}\\\\\text{Denominator must not be equal to 0}\\\\\therefore \sqrt{x+5}-3\neq0\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x+5}\neq 3\\\Rightarrow x+5\neq 9\\\Rightarrow x\neq 4\quad \ldots(ii)

Using (i) and (ii)  it can be concluded that the domain of f\left(g(x)\right) is all real numbers except 0.

Therefore, its domain is given by

x\in [-5,4)\cup (4,\infty)

Option (c) is correct.

Full question:

Linear Functions: Taking a Taxi

You take a trip to downtown Boston to walk the Freedom Trail with your family. After you walk through the Bunker Hill Memorial, your family decides to take a taxi to a restaurant for dinner. After 1 mile, the meter on the taxi says $4.75. It will cost $8.25 to go 3 miles. The cost varies linearly with the distance that you traveled. If you have $11 in your pocket, will you be able to take the cab 5 miles?

Answer:

Cannot go 5 miles having just $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost varies linearly with the distance that you traveled, to model the linear function for this problem we know that

1 mile = $4.75

And so to go x miles, we require $4.75x

Equation can therefore be modelled thus :

y=4.5x

Where y = total cost of transport in dollars

x= cost in dollars per mile

To find out if we can go 5 miles just having $11, we plug in 5 miles for x into the equation to find total cost of transport going 5 miles

y=4.5*5

y= $22.5

Therefore we cannot go 5 miles just having $11
