Within a school district, students were randomly assigned to one of two Math teachers - Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones. After the ass

ignment, Mrs. Smith had 30 students, and Mrs. Jones had 25 students. (Hint: Here scores are coming from two different samples. We can compute variance from SD). At the end of the year, each class took the same standardized test. Mrs. Smith's students had an average test score of 78, with a standard deviation of 10; and Mrs. Jones' students had an average test score of 85, with a standard deviation of 15. Test the hypothesis that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones are equally effective teachers. Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answer: Yes we conclude that both teachers are effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu _1 = \mu _2  { It means both teachers are equally effective}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_1 : \mu _1 < \mu _2  or

The test statistics here we use is :

                                   \frac{(X_1bar - X_2bar)-(\mu _1-\mu _2)}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}  ~ t_(_n_1 _+ _n_2 _-_2)

So now we will indicate each and every expression in the above test statistics,

X_1bar is the average test score of Mrs. smith's students = 78

X_2bar is the average test score of Mrs. Jones' students = 85

Formula for s_p =  \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)s_2^{2}}{n_1+n_2-2}} ,where s_1 = 10 and s_2 = 15

                                                                       n_1 = 30 and n_2 = 25

putting values in s_p, we get

Now solving Test Statistics = \frac{(78-85)-0}{12.51414\sqrt{\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{25}}}  follows t_3_0_+_2_5_-_2

                                             = -2.0656 follows t_5_3

From the t table at 5% level of significance we know that our level of significance will lie between degree freedom 40 and 50 which is 1.684 to 1.671 and our test statistics is way more than this,

Hence we have do not have sufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis and we conclude that both teachers are equally effective.

maw [93]
Perimeter = 2(width+length) =28
Let x=width of base, then length of base = (28/2)-x = 14-x
Volume of box = length*width*height
=x(14-x)*5 = 5x(14-x)

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=4/5x-3?
lawyer [7]
4/5 is the slope. When you isolate the y on one side of a linear equation, whatever number is with the x value is your slope.

What is the difference of (2x+7)-(8x+5)
Anarel [89]

Answer:

If you need the equation: 10x - 12

If you need the equation more simplified: x - 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 7) - (8x + 5)

Move the parts of the equation around

(2x + 8x) - (7 + 5)

Add 2x and 8x together

10x - (7 + 5)

Add 7 and 5 together

10x - 12

If you need it even more simplified, continue

10x - 12

Divide by 10

x - 12/10

Simplify

x - 1.2

I Hope That This Helps! :)

What is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2+1 ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?

Remember

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)

The slope of the given line is m=-1/2

so

the opposite reciprocal is m=2

<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=2\\point\ (-2,3)

substitute

y-3=2(x+2)

<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>

y=mx+b

isolate the variable y

y-3=2x+4

y=2x+4+3

y=2x+7
