An accounting firm is trying to decide between IT training conducted in-house and the use of the third party consultants. To get

some preliminary cost data, each type of training implemented at two of the firm’s offices located in different cities. The table below shows the average annual training cost per employee at each location. Are the mean costs significantly different? Write appropriate hypotheses, find the test statistic and the p-value and draw a conclusion at the 0.05 level of significance.

Answer:

t=\frac{500-490}{\sqrt{\frac{48^2}{180}+\frac{32^2}{210}}}}=2.379  

p_v =2*P(t_{388}>2.379)=0.0178

Comparing the p value with the significance level provided \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and a would be a significant difference in the average of the two groups.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following info

IT Training     N   mean Stdev

In-house       210 $490 $32

Consultants  180 $500 $48

1) Data given and notation

\bar X_{I}=490 represent the mean for the sample of In-house

\bar X_{C}=500 represent the mean for the sample Consutants

s_{I}=32 represent the population standard deviation for the sample In-house

s_{C}=48 represent the population standard deviation for the sample Consultants

n_{I}=210 sample size for the group In-house

n_{C}=180 sample size for the group Consultants

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

2) 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:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{I}=\mu_{C}

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{I} \neq \mu_{C}

We don't have the population standard deviation's, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{C}-\bar X_{I}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{C}}{n_{C}}+\frac{s^2_{I}}{n_{I}}}} (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.

3) Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{500-490}{\sqrt{\frac{48^2}{180}+\frac{32^2}{210}}}}=2.379  

4) Statistical decision

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n_{C}+n_{I}-2=210+180-2=388[/tex[The sample is large enough to assume that the distribution is also normal.Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:
[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{388}>2.379)=0.0178

Comparing the p value with the significance level provided \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and a would be a significant difference in the average of the two groups.

Point D is the centroid of Triangle ABC. Find CD and CE.<br> DE = 9
sukhopar [10]

Given:

Point D is the centroid of Triangle ABC and DE = 9.

To find:

The measures of CD and CE.

Solution:

We know that, centroid is the intersection of medians and it divides each median in 2:1.

In triangle ABC, CE is a meaning and centroid D divided CE in 2:1. So,

Let the measures of CD and DE are 2x and x respectively.

DE = 9                (Given)

x=9

Now,

CD=2x

CD=2(9)

CD=18

And,

CE=CD+DE

CE=18+9

CE=27

Therefore, the measure of CD is 18 units and the measure of CE is 27 units.

What is the median of the data set? <br> {10, 15, 14, 14, 10, 10, 8, 18, 11, 12, 17, 16}
Alexus [3.1K]
The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.

8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle. 

The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2. 

12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13

So, the median of the data set is: 13.
