A researcher is interested in seeing if negative political ads against an opponent (group one) are more effective than positive

ads for the original candidate (group two). If the mean for group one is 7.00, the mean for group two is 10.00, the n for group one is 20, the n for group two is 20, the variance for group one is 2.50, and the variance for group two is 4.5.
What is the correct write up for this study in a results section?A. t(40) = 5.07, p < .01B. t(38) = .592, p > .05C. t(19) = 5.07, p < .01D. t(38) = 2.59, p > .05E. None of the above (it should be t(38) = 5.07, p < .01)

Answer:

t=\frac{10-7}{\sqrt{\frac{1.581^2}{20}+\frac{2.121^2}{20}}}}=5.07  

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{1}+n_{2}-2=20+20-2=38

Since is a one side test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(38)}>5.07)=5.33x10^{-6}

And the best option for this case would be:

None of the above (it should be t(38) = 5.07, p < .01)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{1}=7 represent the mean for the sample 1

\bar X_{2}=10 represent the mean for the sample 2

s_{1}=\sqrt{2.5}= 1.581 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample 1

s_{2}=\sqrt{4.5}= 2.121 represent the sample standard deviation for the sample 2

n_{1}=20 sample size selected for 1

n_{2}=20 sample size selected for 2

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t 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 mean for the group 1 is higher than the mean for group 2, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{2} \leq \mu_{1}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{2} > \mu_{1}

If we analyze the size for the samples both are less than 30 so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{2}-\bar X_{1}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

t=\frac{10-7}{\sqrt{\frac{1.581^2}{20}+\frac{2.121^2}{20}}}}=5.07  

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{1}+n_{2}-2=20+20-2=38

Since is a one side test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(38)}>5.07)=5.33x10^{-6}

And the best option for this case would be:

None of the above (it should be t(38) = 5.07, p < .01)

Solve by factoring:<br><br> 5x^2 + 19x + 12 = 0
Mariulka [41]

When solving polynomial equations, first set the equation

equal to zero, then check for a Greatest Common Factor.

Since there is no greatest common factor, this will make life a

little bit more difficult because we will have to factor the trinomial.

First, find all possible factors for constant term.

I have listed these in red below.

Make sure to reverse the factors since in each binomial,

the first term is different so we need to reverse the factors.

The factors of 5x² will just be 5x and z.

After finding factors for the constant and the leading

coefficient for your trinomial, we can eliminate some factors.

If you have an odd coefficient on the middle term,

you can eliminate any pairs of even factors.

So the group I crossed out in purple below will be eliminated.

Another strategy is to use factors a little closer together.

So I would go with the 4 and 3 group.

Surely enough, our trinomial does factor with the 4 and 3.

Now set the factored trinomial equal to 0.

Then use zero product property and you have your answer.
