Three students, Linda, Tuan, and Javier, are given five laboratory rats each for a nutritional experiment. Each rat’s weight is

recorded in grams. Linda feeds her rats Formula A, Tuan feeds his rats Formula B, and Javier feeds his rats Formula C. At the end of a specified time period, each rat is weighed again and the net gain in grams is recorded. Determine whether or not the variance in weight gain is statistically the same among Javier’s and Linda’s rats. Test at a significance level of 10%. What is the alternative hypothesis?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the information of the net gain of weight of rats of three independent groups that were fed with three different formulas (A, B and C)

The objective is to determine if the population variance of the weight gain of the rats fed with formula C (feed by Javier) is the same as the population variance of the weight gain of the rats fed with formula A (feed by Linda)

Then you have two variables of interest:

X₁: Net weight gain of the rats fed with formula A (gr)

X₂: Net weight gain of the rats fed with formula C (gr)

Assuming that both variables have a normal distribution, the statistical test for this analysis is a variance ratio.

The hypotheses are:

H₀: σ₁²=σ₂²

H₁: σ₁²≠σ₂²

α: 0.10

F= \frac{S_1^2}{S_2^2} * \frac{Sigma_1^2}{Sigma_2^2}~~F_{n_1-1;n_2-1}

The sample variances are:

S₁²= 10.09gr

S₂²= 27.16

F_{H_0}= \frac{10.09}{27.16} *1= 0.37

  • <em>Remember, another way of expressing the statistical hypotheses for this test is H₀: σ₁²/σ₂²= 1 vs. H₁: σ₁²/σ₂²≠ 1, the theoretical value for the ration of the population variances is one (considering that the null hypothesis is true).</em>

The p-value of the test is 0.3605

Using the p.value approach, the decision rule is

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value is greater than α, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

Using a level of 10%, there is no significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Then you can conclude that the population variance of the net weight gain of the rats fed by Javier is statistically the same as the population net weight gain of the rats fed by Linda.

I hope this helps!

An individual is at a restaurant with two other people and they are trying to determine the tip for their check total which came
zlopas [31]

Answer:

c. The tip is $10.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The total bill in the restaurant is = $ 68.42

They wanted to pay a gratuity of 15%

Therefore the correct tip can be calculated as :

= 68.42 of 15%

= $68.42 \times \frac{15}{100}$

= 68.42 x 0.15

= 10.263

≈ 10 (approx.)

Thus the individual along with the other two wishes to pay a tip $10.00 for the total value.

What is the measure of c?<br> a = 15<br> j = 24<br> k = 32
inessss [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

a = 15

j = 24

k = 32

c = ?

Process

Use proportions to solve this problem. Compare the small triangle and the large triangle.

1.- Proportion of the small triangle

             c/15

2.- Proportion of the large triangle

            k/j

3.- Equal but terms and solve for c

            c/15 = k/j

-Substitution

            c / 15 = 32/24

            c = 32(15)/24

-Result

            c = 20

This is confusion please help
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

c = 5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a right triangle, there is a property about its measurements that is <em>always</em> true, and its called the "Pythagorean Theorem"

First, let's understand the basic terms we use to describe the sides of a triangle:

we can call one leg "a", the other leg "b" and the slanted side "c"

("c" is also called the hypotenuse--and it's always opposite the 90-degree angle)

the pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

here, our "a" is 5, our "b" is 10 {and we don't know what c is}

let's try plugging these values into our formula:

a² + b² = c²

5² + 10² = c²

25 + 100 = c²      

125 = c²

now, we know what c² is--but we want to know c,

so we must take the square root of both sides

√125 = √c²

√125 = c

now, while √125 <em>is </em>our answer, we can simplify further!

this is because 125 can be made up of 5 · 25

so, \sqrt{125} = \sqrt{5*25}

and

\sqrt{5*25}=\sqrt{5}*\sqrt{25}

we can take out the square root of 25 (5):

=\sqrt{5}*5

we write this as such: 5\sqrt{5}

so, in simplest radical form, c = 5√5

(√125)

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
