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.

To find proportion of the area under the normal curve between two Z scores that are both above the mean, it is necessary to exam
VikaD [51]

It is necessary to imagine the sum of the areas between each z-score and the average.

Given as the ratio of the area under the normal curve between two z-scores, both above average.

The  Z score accurately measures the number of standard deviations above or below the mean of the data points.

The formula for calculating the z-score is

z = (data points – mean) / (standard deviation).

It is also expressed as z = (x-μ) / σ.

  • A positive z-score indicates that the data points are above average.
  • A negative z-score indicates that the data points are below average.
  • A z-score close to 0 means that the data points are close to average.
  • The normal curve is symmetric with respect to the mean and needs to be investigated.

Therefore, to find the percentage of the area under the normal curve between two z-scores, both above the mean, you need to look at the sum of the areas between the z-score and the mean.

Write two equivalent fractions for 5/10
shtirl [24]
1/2 and 10/20

to get 1/2 you have to divide 5/10 by 5:

  5   /   5          1     
-----          =   ----- 
 10  /   5          2

to get 10/20 you have to multiply 5/10 by 2:

  5   *   2          10
-----           =    ----
 10  *   2          20

Hope it helps! =)
