According to the norms established for a reading comprehension test, eighth-graders should average 83.2 with a standard deviatio

n of 8.6. If 45 randomly selected eighth graders from a certain school district averaged 86.7 with a standard deviation of 8.6, test the null hypothesis LaTeX: \muμ= 83.2 against the alternative hypothesis LaTeX: \muμ> 83.2 at the .01 level of significance. And then decide whether there is evidence to support the superintendent's claim that her eighth graders are above average.

Answer:

t=\frac{86.7-83.2}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.73    

p_v =P(t_{44}>2.73)=0.0045    

If we compare the p value and a significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the population mean is signficantly higher than 83.2 at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

\bar X=86.7 represent the average life for the sample    

s=8.6 represent the population standard deviation    

n=45 sample size    

\mu_o =83.2 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha=0.01 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 apply a two tailed  test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?    

Null hypothesis:  \mu \leq 83.2  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu > 83.2  

Compute the test statistic  

The statistic for this case is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic    

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

t=\frac{86.7-83.2}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.73    

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test  

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

df=n-1=45-1=44

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

p_v =P(t_{44}>2.73)=0.0045    

Conclusion    

If we compare the p value and a significance level given \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the population mean is signficantly higher than 83.2 at 1% of significance.

I keep believing the answer is either 18,000 or 1,800 but im incorrect. Can someone please help me?? I use the formula A^2 *2*A*
Yuri [45]

The base is a square, so the area of the square is (10 cm)² = 100 cm²

To find the area of each triangle use the formula

base • height

10 cm • 9 cm = 90 cm²

now multiply by the number of triangles

90 cm • 4 = 360 cm²

Add the area of the square:

100 cm² + 360 cm² = 460 cm²

I hope it's correct

HELP ASAP just the answer please I will give a brainliest
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

C (900)

Step-by-step explanation:

50 for each orchestra

40 for each balcony

600 x 50 = 30000

39000/40 = 975

600+975=1575 not correct

750 x 50=37500

750 x 40 = 30000

not correct

900x50=45000

600x40=24000

correct
