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.

A regulation baseball field measures 90 feet between each base. What is the distance around the bases in meters?​
Alex787 [66]

assuming that the bases are placed correctly, the bases connected draw a square, each side being 90 ft long. We multiply 90 by the amount of sides(4) to find the total distance/perimeter = 360.

Hayden is organizing his assets and liabilities in the table below. If his net worth is $17,550, then how much does he have in h
77julia77 [94]

Answer: His checking account balance is $2,800.

Step-by-step explanation: What Hayden is doing is comparing his assets against his liabilities. This will determine his net worth. His assets ideally are those that increase his net worth such as landed properties, etc while his liabilities in the simplest language are those debts he is paying off either right away, or that he must pay off eventually.

In other words, to determine his net worth, Hayden has to add up all his assets and from the total derived, deduct his liabilities.

Consider the calculations below;

NET WORTH: $17,550

Add ASSETS  

                         Automobile               13600  

                         Retirement Account   6700

                         Checking Account      XX

Less LIABILITIES

                          Student Loan            4800

                          Credit card debt          750

Net Worth                                            <u>17550</u>

The above table can be simplified as follows;

Net worth = Assets - Liabilities

17550 = 20300 + XX - 5550

Collecting like terms, you now have;

17550 -20300 +5550 = XX

2800 = XX

The Checking Account represented by XX is now calculated as $2,800
