Answer:

Test statistic t = 5.25

P-value = 0.000002 (one-tailed test)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the average amount of time that a freshman at TAMU studies is significantly higher than 7 hours.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=7\\\\H_a:\mu> 7

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=49.

The sample mean is M=8.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=√s^2=√4=2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{49}}=0.29

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{8.5-7}{0.29}=\dfrac{1.5}{0.29}=5.25

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=49-1=48

This test is a right-tailed test, with 48 degrees of freedom and t=5.25, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=P(t>5.25)=0.000002

As the P-value (0.000002) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the average amount of time that a freshman at TAMU studies is significantly higher than 7 hours.

Given the diagram below find x, and the measure of
Sophie [7]

Answer:

8, 40 , 50

Step-by-step explanation:

the measure of A is 90°

so 5x + 7x - 6 = 90

now.. to find the x

5x + 7x - 6 = 90

5x + 7x = 90 + 6

12x = 96

x = 96/12

x = 8

so the measure of angle A1 is (5*8) = 40

the measure of angle A2 is (7*8-6) = 50

finaly the angle A is (50+40) = 90

Describe how to write 7,594,000,000 in scientific notation. Complete the description. First move the decimal point places to the
s2008m [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is 7,594,000,000.

To convert it into scientific notation,

First move the decimal point places to the left to find a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Then multiply by 10 , using an exponent on 10 that equals the number of places you moved the decimal. The exponent is negative if the original no was <1 and the exponent is positive, if the original number was  > 1.

In 7,594,000,000, we move the decimal point places to the left before 5. It means we have moved 9 digits left.

Hence, 7,594,000,000=7.59\times 10^9 is the scientific notation.

A train leaves at 17.22 and arrives at its destination at 18.14.
sattari [20]

Answer:

64.6 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

18:14 = 18h 14'

1h = 60'

18h = 17h + 60'

18h14' = 17h + 60' ´14' = 17h 74'

then:

17h 74'

-17h 22'

= 0h 52'

the train travelled 56km at 52 minutes

56km/52minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

52 minutes = 52/60 = 0.86667 hours

then:

56km/52minutes = 56km/0.86667hours

= 64.615 km/hours
