Consider the following hypothesis test: H0: LaTeX: \mu_1-\mu_2=0μ 1 − μ 2 = 0 Ha: LaTeX: \mu_1-\mu_2\ne0μ 1 − μ 2 ≠ 0 The follow

ing results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations. Sample 1: LaTeX: n_1n 1 = 80; LaTeX: \overline{x}_1x ¯ 1 = 104; LaTeX: \sigma_1σ 1 = 8.4 Sample 2: LaTeX: n_2n 2 = 70; LaTeX: \overline{x}_2x ¯ 2 = 106; LaTeX: \sigma_2σ 2 = 7.6 a. What is the value of the test statistic?

Answer:

z=\frac{104-\bar 106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80}+\frac{7.6^2}{70}}}}=-1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{1}=104 represent the mean for the sample 1

\bar X_{2}=106 represent the mean for the sample 2

\sigma_{1} =8.4 represent the population standard deviation for the sample 1

\sigma_{2}=7.6 represent the population standard deviation for the sample 2

n_{1}=80 sample size for the group 1

n_{2}=70 sample size for the group 2

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the means for the two groups are the same, the system of hypothesis would be:

H0:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2} =0

H1:\mu_{1} -\mu_{2} \neq 0

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

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

z-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

First we need to calculate the mean and deviation for each sample, after apply the formulas (2) and (3) we got the following results:

And with this we can replace in formula (1) like this:

z=\frac{104-\bar 106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80}+\frac{7.6^2}{70}}}}=-1.53

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{3} x² - 14 ← substitute x = 9 into the expression

= \frac{1}{3} × 9² - 14

= \frac{1}{3} × 81 - 14

= 27 - 14

= 13

HELPPPPP! Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken. If a player scores 50 points , and takes 40 shots ,
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.

This means that this question can be solved

by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?

Using a rule of three:

50 points - 40 shots

x points - 60 shots

Applying cross multiplication:

4x = 50 × 60

Divide from both sides

x = 50 × 1.25 = 75

Answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:

It asked for how many 60 shots would score.

You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them

50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5

So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5

Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.

60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5

& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.

Hope it made sense :)

Rewrite using a single positive exponent.<br> (5-3)*
sleet_krkn [62]

To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153. Use this rule for exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153=1125.

Help please! the question is in the picture below for reference when answering! thank you so much!
stepan [7]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC = 28

the way from A to C goes through B.

so, the total way of A to C is the sum of the way from A to B and then from B to C.

=>

(5x + 10) + (2x + 25) = 28

7x + 35 = 28

7x = -7

x = -1
