At a local university, a sample of 49 evening students was selected in order to determine whether the average age of the evening

students is significantly different from 21. The average age of the students in the sample was 23 years. The population standard deviation is known to be 3.5 years. Determine whether or not the average age of the evening students is significantly different from 21. Use a 0.1 level of significance.

Answer:

z=\frac{23-21}{\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{49}}}=4    

p_v =2*P(z>4)=0.0000633  

When we compare the significance level \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can reject the null hypothesis at 10% of significance. So the  the true mean is difference from 21 at this significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=23 represent the sample mean

\sigma=3.5 represent the population standard deviation

n=49 sample size  

\mu_o =21 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the average age of the evening students is significantly different from 21, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 21  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 21  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{23-21}{\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{49}}}=4    

P-value

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>4)=0.0000633  

Conclusion  

When we compare the significance level \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can reject the null hypothesis at 10% of significance. So the  the true mean is difference from 21 at this significance level.

How many grams of a 15 percent alcohol solution should be mixed with 40 grams of a 30 percent solution to obtain a
Akimi4 [234]

The number of  grams is 20 grams

Let x represent how  many grams of a 15 percent alcohol solution

15%x+30%.40/x+40

=25%

0.15x+0.4.30=0.25 (x+40)

0.15x+12=0.25x+10

0.15x-0.25x=10+12

-0.1x=-2

x=-2/-0.1

x=20

Inconclusion The number of  grams is  20 grams

Jim and Carla are scuba diving. Jim started out 12 feet below the surface. He descended 17 feet, rose 3 feet, and descended 8 mo
Maslowich

Answer:

Jim reached a greater depth by one foot, as he started 12 feet below the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim

12 feet+17 feet = 29

29-3 feet (rose 3 feet) = 26

26+8= 34 feet

Carla

0 feet (surface)+ 19 feet= 19

19-3 feet= 16

16+17= 33 feet
