Answer:

The calculated value |t| = 2.375 > 2.1009 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected 

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

The extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given data

First sample size (n₁) = 10

mean of the first sample(x₁⁻) = 537

standard deviation of the first sample (S₁) = 22

second sample size (n₂) = 10

mean of the second sample (x₂⁻) = 559

standard deviation of the second sample (S₂) = 17

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis : H₀:- The extra carbonation of cola results in a lower average compression strength

Alternative Hypothesis :H₁

The extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength

Step(iii):-

By using student's t -test for difference of means

Test statistic

  $t = \frac{x^{-} _{1}-x^{-} _{2} }{\sqrt{S^{2} (\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } } )}$ 

 where 

  $S^{2} = \frac{n_{1}S^{2} _{1} + n_{2} S_{2} ^{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2} -2 }$ 

  $S^{2} = \frac{10(22)^{2} + 10 (17) ^{2} }{10+10 -2 } = \frac{ 7730}{18} = 429.4$ 

  $t = \frac{537-559 }{\sqrt{429.4 (\frac{1}{10 }+\frac{1}{10 } } )}$ 

 t = -2.375

|t| = |-2.375| = 2.375

Degrees of freedom

γ = n₁+n₂ -2 = 10+10-2 =18

 $t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} ,n-1}=t_{(\frac{0.05}{2} ,18)} = t_{(0.025,18)}}=2.1009$ 

The calculated value |t| = 2.375 > 2.1009 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected 

Alternative hypothesis is accepted

Final answer:-

The extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength

Imagine that you have developed a genetic test to detect the dominant allele (A) that cause a rare genetic condition. As with mo

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Correct option: (B) 1.495%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = the test is positive.

A = a person with the dominant allele

The information given are:

$P(X|A)=1\\P (X|A^{c})=0.005\\P(A)=0.01$

According to the law of total probability the probability of an event A, conditional upon the occurrence of another event B is:

$P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B^{c})P(B^{c})$

Use this law to compute the probability of person having a positive result as follows:

$P(X)=P(X|A)P(A)+P(X|A^{c})P(A^{c})\\=(1\times0.01)+(0.005\times(1-0.01))\\=0.01+0.00495\\=0.01495$

The percentage of positive result is: 0.01495 × 100 = 1.495%.

Thus, the percentage of the population will give a positive test is 1.495%.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8, -4) and has a slope of 1/2

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2}x - 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach,

For this problem, the format of a line that will be used is, slope-intercept form;

$y = mx + b$

Where ( $m$ ) is the slope of the line, also known as the change in the line and $(b)$ is the y-intercept, or where the graph of the line intersects the y-axis. Since, in this problem, the slope of the line is given, all one has to do is substitute in a point on the given line and solve.

2. Finding the equation,

In this problem, the slope of the line is given. Therefore, to solve this problem, all one has to do is substitute in a point on the given line and solve.

$y = mx + b$

Substitute in the slope,

$y = \frac{1}{2}x + b$
