Does secondhand smoke increase the risk of a low weight birth? A baby is “low birth weight” if it weighs less than 5.5 pounds at

birth. According to the National Center of Health Statistics, about 7.8% of all babies born in the U.S. are categorized as low birth weight. Researchers randomly select 1200 babies whose mothers had extensive exposure to secondhand smoke during pregnancy. 10.4% of the sample are categorized as low birth weight. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this research question. H 0 : p = 0.078; H a : p ≠ 0.078 H 0 : p = 0.078; H a : p > 0.078 H 0 : p = 0.104; H a : p ≠ 0.104 H 0 : μ = 0.104; H a : μ > 0.104

Answer:

H0: p = 0.078

Ha: p ≠ 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

The researchers say that the rate is about 7.8%, or 0.078 as a decimal.  That makes that the null hypothesis because using "is" in math is the same as saying "equals" and the null hypothesis always has the statement of equality in it.  The reason there is a not equals to sign in the alternate is for this reason as well.  The researchers say it is about that amount, not more or less than that amount.  So it makes this a 2 tailed test.  If the amount is significantly higher or lower, then we might have to reject the null hypothesis depending on the outcome of the test.

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 103 and a standard deviation of 15. Using the empirical ru
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Probability = 0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided information is:

Let X be the scores of the IQ scores that is normally distributed with mean \mu = 103   and standard deviation  

.

That is  X \sim N(103,15)

103 - 58 = 45 = 3 \times 15

So, 58 is 3 standard deviation left to the mean.

As 99.7% of probability lies within the three standard deviation.

Thus,  above three standard deviation is:

\frac{1-0.997}{2}=0.0015

Thus, the required probability is 0.15%

5. The gradient of the tangent line to the graph of f(x)= 2x^2 + kx - 3 at x = -1 is 1. Find the value of k
Trava [24]

The gradient of the tangent line to y(x) at (c,y(c)) is given by the value of the derivative at x=c. We have

f(x)=2x^2+kx-3\implies f'(x)=4x+k

We're told that f'(-1)=1. Then

1=4(-1)+k\implies k=5

Let ​ x² + 15x = 49 .​ What values make an equivalent number sentence after completing the square? Enter your answers in the box
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15/2 = 7.5 and (7.5)^2 = 56.25  so

x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25

x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25.
