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.

If money in a savings account earned 8% interest per annum, how much nterest would be earned on $150.00 over three years?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Interest rate, r = 8% = 0.08

Principal, P = 150

Time, t = 3 years

Simple interest = (principal * rate * time)

Simple interest = (150 * 0.08 * 3)

Simple interest = $36

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

56°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the measure of angle GHE is equal to DFH. This means that you can set 98-6x=63-x, which becomes 5x=35 so x=7. Substitute 7 for x and you'll get DFH =63-7, which is 56.

Triangle L M N is cut by line segment O P. Line segment O P goes from side M L to side M N. The length of O L is 14, the length
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The value of y that would make O P parallel to L N = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on similar triangles. Find attached the diagram obtained from the given information.

Given:

The length of O L = 14

the length of O M = 28

the length of M P = y

the length of P N = 18

Length MN = MP + PN = y + 18

Length ML = MO + OL = 28+14 = 42

For OP to be parallel to LN,

MO/ML = MP/PN

MO/ML = 28/42

MP/PN= y/(y+18)

28/42 = y/(y+18)

42y = 28(y+18)

42y = 28y + 18(28)

42y-28y = 504

14y = 504

y = 504/14 = 36

The value of y that would make O P parallel to L N = 36
