Big babies: The National Health Statistics Reports described a study in which a sample of 354 one-year-old baby boys were weighe

d. Their mean weight was 25.8 pounds with standard deviation 5.3 pounds. A pediatrician claims that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds. Do the data provide convincing evidence that the pediatrician's claim is true? Use the =α0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Answer:

Yes. The data provide enough evidence to support the claim that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds.

P-value=P(t>2.84)=0.0024

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis test on the population mean.

The claim is that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=25\\\\H_a:\mu>25

The significance level is α=0.05.

The sample size is n=354. The sample mean is 25.8 pounds and the sample standard deviation is 5.3 pounds. As the population standard deviation is estimated from the sample standard deviation, we will use a t-statistic.

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=354-1=353

The t-statistic is:

t=\dfrac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{25.8-25}{5.3/\sqrt{354}}=\dfrac{0.8}{0.2817}=2.84

For a right tailed test and 353 degrees of freedom, the P-value is:

P-value=P(t>2.84)=0.0024

As the P-value is smaller than the significance level, the effect is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean weight of one-year-old boys is greater than 25 pounds.

Which graph below represents a functional relationship? A. 10 10 8 8 6 6 4 2 2 X 10864 6 8 10 10 8 6 4 4 6 8 10 -21 4 -61 -8 -8
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Graph (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find whether the graph\table represents a relationship or a function we have to analyze the input-output values given.

Graph A.

In this graph for every input value (x-value) there are two output values (y-values).

For x = -2, y = -2, 2

So the graph doesn't represent a function.

Graph B.

For every x value there are two y-values

For x = -5, y = -3, 3

So the graph doesn't represent a function.

Graph C.

For every input value there is a different y-value.

Therefore, graph represents a function.

Graph D.

In this graph for x = 3, y = 1, 2, 3, 4

For one value of x, there are four values of y.

Therefore, graph doesn't show the relationship.

What is 33.61111111 in fraction form
madreJ [45]

The correct answer is:   " \frac{33,611}{1,000} " .

____________________

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Based on the assumption that the "1" repeats infinitely; in the given value:

  " 33.61111111 ...." ;

_______

Note that the "611" ; after the decimal point;  this goes to the "thousandths";  

place (is "3 (three) digits long.").

_______

As such; we rewrite the number as:

_______

" \frac{33.611}{1} " ;  

and we multiply BOTH the "numerator" And the "denominator" by: "1000" :

_______

  →  " \frac{(33.611)*(1000)}{(1)*(1000)} " ;

to get:

  →  " \frac{33611}{1000} " ;  →  which cannot be reduced any further.

_______

The correct answer is: " \frac{33,611}{1,000} " .

_______

Hope this is helpful to you!

 Wishing you the best!

|x - 12| = 4<br> please provide an explanation
geniusboy [140]

Answer: x = 16, x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| > 0, there are two solutions

|a| = 0, there is one solution

|a| < 0, there are no solutions

So, in this problem, we have two solutions.

In absolute value, the expression inside can be equal to itself OR its opposite.

Ex: |y| = y, |y| = -y

So, we can write two equations:

x - 12 = 4, x = 16

-x+12 = 4, x = 8

Check: |16 - 12| = |4| = 4

Check: |8 - 12| = |-4| = 4
