Weight gain during pregnancy. In 2004, the state of North Carolina released to the public a large data set containing informatio

n on births recorded in this state. This data set has been of interest to medical researchers who are studying the relationship between habits and practices of expectant mothers and the birth of their children. The following histograms show the distributions of weight gain during pregnancy by 840 younger moms (less than 35 years old) and 132 mature moms (35 years old and over) who have been randomly sampled from this large data set. The average weight gain of younger moms is 30.7 pounds, with a standard deviation of 14.91 pounds, and the average weight gain of mature moms is 29.15 pounds, with a standard deviation of 13.46 pounds. Do these data provide strong evidence that there is a significant difference between the two population means? Conduct a hypothesis test. Round all numeric answers to 4 decimal places.1. Which set of hypotheses should the researcher use?
A. H0H0: p1−p2=0p1−p2=0, HAHA: p1−p2<0p1−p2<0
B. H0H0: μ1−μ2=0μ1−μ2=0, HAHA: μ1−μ2≠0μ1−μ2≠0
C. H0H0: p1−p2=0p1−p2=0, HAHA: p1−p2≠0p1−p2≠0
D. H0H0: μ1−μ2=0μ1−μ2=0, HAHA: μ1−μ2>0μ1−μ2>0

Answer:

1. B. H0: μ1−μ2=0, HA: μ1−μ2≠0

2. z=1.2114

3. P-value=0.2257

4. Do not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perfomr an hypothesis test to see if there is strong evidence that there is a significant difference between the two population means.

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a: \mu_1-\mu_2\neq0

Being μ1 the mean average gain for younger mothers and μ2 the mean average gain for mature mothers.

(NOTE: we are comparing means, not proportions, as it is the random variable is the weight gain).

As we are claiming "strong evidence", the level of significance will be 0.01.

For younger mothers, the sample size is n1=840, the sample mean is 30.7 and  the sample standard deviation is s1=14.91.

For mature mothers, the sample size is n2=132, the sample mean is 29.15 and the sample standard deviation is s2=13.46.

The difference between means is

M_d=\mu_1-\mu_2=30.7-29.15=1.55

The standard error of the difference between means is

s_M=\sqrt{\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{14.91^2}{840}+\dfrac{13.46^2}{132}}=\sqrt{ 0.2647+1.3725}=\sqrt{1.6372}\\\\\\s_M=1.2795

Then, the statistic can be calculated as:

z=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_M}=\dfrac{1.55-0}{1.2795}=1.2114

The P-value for this z-statistic in a two tailed test is:

P-value=2P(z>1.2114)=0.2257

As the P-value is greater than the significance level, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is no enough evidence to claim that the real average weight gain differs from mature and youger mothers.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

About 64.65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan(x) =  \frac{190}{90}

x =  { \tan}^{ - 1}  \frac{190}{90}  = 64.65

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Pr = 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 30

H = 21

T = 9

See attachment for complete question

Required

P(H)

The question requires that we calculate the theoretical probability of landing on the head.

This means that, we have to ignore the given data, and we use the following

S =\{H,T\} --- sample space

n(S) = 2 --- sample size

n(H) = 1 --- occurrence of Head

So, the theoretical probability is:

Pr = n(H)/n(S)

Pr = 1/2

Pr = 0.50
