A newly hired basketball coach promised a high-paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team’s previously te

pid offense historically managed. After a few months, the team owner looks at the data to test the coach’s claim. He takes a sample of 36 of the team’s games under the new coach and finds that they scored an average of 101 points with a standard deviation of 6 points. Over the past 10 years, the team had averaged 99 points. What is the value of the appropriate test statistic to test the new coach’s claim at the 1% significance level? a. z = 2.00 b. t35 = 2.00 c. t35 = 0.33 d. z = 0.33

Answer:

a. z = 2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable is "Points per game of a high school team"

The hypothesis is that the average score per game is greater than before, so the parameter to test is the population mean (μ)

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 99

H₁: μ > 99

α: 0.01

There is no information about the variable distribution, I'll apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sample mean (X[bar]) to normal since whether you use a Z or t-test, you need your variable to be at least approximately normal. Considering the sample size (n=36) I'd rather use a Z-test than a t-test.

The statistic value under the null hypothesis is:

Z= X[bar] - μ  = 101 - 99 = 2

σ/√n 6/√36

I don't have σ, but since this is an approximation I can use the value of S instead.

I hope it helps!

Five times a number is the same as two times a number added 21
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Our number is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We also know that it's 2x + 21 = 5x.

Now we solve.

21 = 5x - 2x

21 = 3x

7 = x

The tables below show two functions. For each set of data:
slamgirl [31]
The first table, representing <em>f</em>(<em>x</em>), is linear.  The data have a constant rate of change or slope:
<em />(between the first two points):  <em>m</em> = (<em>y</em>₂ - <em /><em>y</em>₁)/(<em>x</em>₂ - <em>x</em>₁) = (22-18)/(-1--2) = 4/(-1+2) = 4/1 = 4.  The rate of change  between any two points is the same:
(between the last two points):<em>  m</em> = (34-30)/(2-1) = 4/1 = 4.

The second table, representing <em>g</em>(<em>x</em>), is exponential.  The data points are multiplied by the same constant between successive points.  2*2 = 4; 4*2= 8; 8*2 = 16, etc.

Polygon Q is a scaled copy of Polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon 1 point
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor for area is the square of the scale factor for linear dimensions.

  area scale factor = (1/2)² = 1/4

Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of the area of Polygon P.
