In a study of parents' perceptions of their children's size, researchers asked parents to estimate their youngest child's height

. The researchers hypothesize that parents tend to underestimate their youngest child's size because the youngest child is the baby of the family and all other family members appear larger compared to the baby. The sample of 39 parents who were surveyed underestimated their youngest child's height by 7.5 cm on average; the standard deviation for the difference in actual heights and estimated heights was 7.2 cm, and the data were approximately normal.
Determine the TS and p-value for this study.

Answer:

Test statistic t=6.505

P-value=0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that parents tend to underestimate their youngest child's size.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=0\\\\H_a:\mu> 0

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample has a size n=39.

The sample mean is M=7.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=7.2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{7.2}{\sqrt{39}}=1.153

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{7.5-0}{1.153}=\dfrac{7.5}{1.153}=6.505

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=39-1=38

This test is a right-tailed test, with 38 degrees of freedom and t=6.505, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t>6.505)=0

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is  enough evidence to support the claim that parents tend to underestimate their youngest child's size.

Question 1:

This is a 45-45-90 right triangle. If the leg length is x, then the hypotenuse length will be x \sqrt{2}.

The leg length of this 45-45-90 right triangle is 8. Multiply that with the square root of 2. You get 8 \sqrt{2}. Thus, the last choice is your answer.

Question 2:

This triangle can be identified as a 30-60-90 right triangle.
Let's say the smallest leg as a length of x.
Then, the longer leg will have a length of x \sqrt{3}.
Also, the hypotenuse will have a length of 2x

This triangle follows this format, making it a 30-60-90 right triangle. Thus, the angles are 30, 60, and 90.

Hope this helps! :)
