A random sample of 64 second-graders in a certain school district are given a standardized mathematics skills test. The sample m

ean score is 51.48 . Assume the standard deviation for the population of test scores is 15. The nationwide average score on this test is 50. The school superintendent wants to know whether the second-graders in her school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average. Perform the hypothesis test and compute the P-value?

Answer:

P-value=0.215.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the second-graders in this  school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the second-graders in this  school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average.

Then, the null and aletrnative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=50\\\\H_a:\mu> 50

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=64.

The sample mean is M=51.48.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=15.

We can calculate the standard error as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{15}{\sqrt{64}}=1.875

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{51.48-50}{1.875}=\dfrac{1.48}{1.875}=0.789

This test is a right-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

P-value=P(z>0.789)=0.215

As the P-value (0.215) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the second-graders in this  school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average.

Answer:

Given : The sample mean score is 51.48 .

            The standard deviation for the population of test scores is 15.

             The nationwide average score on this test is 50.

To Find :  Perform the hypothesis test and compute the P-value?

Solution:

Sample size = n = 64

Since n > 30

So, we will use z test over here

We are supposed to find The school superintendent wants to know whether the second-graders in her school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average.

Hypothesis : H_0:\mu \leq 50\\H_a:\mu>50

Formula of z test : z =\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

x = 51.48\\\mu = 50\\\sigma = 15\\ n = 64

Substitute the values

z =\frac{51.48-50}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{64}}}

z =0.789

Find the value of P(z) from z table

p(z)=0.7823

Since we are given that we are supposed to find The school superintendent wants to know whether the second-graders in her school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average.

So, p value = 1-P(z)  = 1-0.7823=0.2177

In general , Level of significance is 0.05

So, p value is greater than alpha.

So, we accept the null hypothesis.

9.66
   ^ This is the tenths place.

Look at the number after it, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.

The number is 6, so we round up to 9.7.

You only have to apply the theorem of Pythagoras here. Remember the square on the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides :

1. AB is the hypotenuse, so, according to the theorem we can write :

AB² = AC² + CB²

c² = 5² + 4²

c²= 25 + 16

c² = 41

applying the square root of 41 we get :

c ≈ 6.40 rounded to the hundred

The next cases are exactly the same thing so there is no need for explanation :

2.

AB is the hypotenuse here because it is the biggest side clearl :

AB² = AC² + CB²

25² = 15² + b²

Thus

b² = 25² - 15²

we just subtracted 15² on each side of the equation

b² = 625 - 225

b² = 400

applying the square root of 400 we get

b = √400 = 20

So AC = 20

3. The longest side is clearly AB = 60

So

AB² = AC² + CB²

60² = 40² + a²

subtracting 40² on each side of the equation we get :

a² = 60² - 40²

I let you finish this using your calculator and doing exactly like the previous cases

4.

AB is the hypotenuse,

AB² = AC² + CB²

23² = b² + 14²

Subtracting 14² from each side of the equation we get

b² = 23² - 14²

5.

AB is the biggest side :

AB² = AC² + CB²

29² = 23² + a²

We subtract 23² on each sides of the equation :

a² = 29² - 23²

You can finish with your calculator

6.

AB² = AC² + BC²

78² = b² + 30²

subtraction...

b² = 78² - 30²

Good luck :)
