N experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new stain remover. Twenty stains were treated with stain remover A and stain

remover B for a week, then the number of stains removed was measured. A significance test was conducted at the α = 0.10 level for the difference in the means of the number of stains removed between stain remover A and stain remover B. The test resulted in t = 1.37 and p = 0.17. If the alternative hypothesis in question is Ha: μA − μB ≠ 0, where μA equals the mean number of stains removed with stain remover A and μB equals the mean number of stains removed with stain remover B, what conclusion can be drawn?

Answer:

For this case the statistic calculated is t= 1.37

p_v =0.17

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level  given\alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that we have a difference between the two means at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{A} represent the mean for the sample for A

\bar X_{B} represent the mean for the sample B

s_{A} represent the sample standard deviation for the sample A

s_{B}= represent the sample standard deviation for the sample B

n_{A}=20 sample size for the group poisoned

n_{B}=20 sample size for the group unpoisoned

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two means are equal or not , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B} =0

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B} \neq 0

For this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{A}}{n_{A}}+\frac{s^2_{B}}{n_{B}}}} (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the statistic

For this case the statistic calculated is t= 1.37

Statistical decision

The significance level is 0.1 \alpha=0.1, but we can calculate the p value for this test. The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{A}+n_{B}-2

The p value on this case is given

p_v =0.17

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level  given\alpha=0,1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that we have a difference between the two means at 10% of significance.

Estimate 58% of 121 by using 10%
Basile [38]
58% is about equal to 60%, or 6 times 10%. 10% of 121 is 12.1.
12.1 * 6 = 72.6
To take this further, 58% is 2% less than 60%, or 2 times 1%. 1% of 121 is 1.21.
72.6  - (1.21 * 2) = 72.6 - 2.42 = 70.18

Find the volume of a half sphere with a radius of 10
Ugo [173]
The volume of a sphere is calculated like so:
v = 4*pi*r^3/3
so half sphere will have half that volume:
v = (<span>4*pi*r^3/3)(1/2)
</span>v = <span>4*pi*r^3/6
</span>plug in the data:
v = <span>4*pi*(10)^3/6
</span>v = 2094.4
that is the volume of the half sphere

How to find the point slope form with the slope of 3 and the point of -2/6
Levart [38]

\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y-6 = 3(x + 2)

____________________________________

\large \tt Solution  \: :

Equation of line in point - slope form :

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)

  • \tt  \:m = slope=3

  • \tt y_1 = y \:  \: coordinate \:  \: of \:  \: point = 6

  • \tt  \:x_1 = x \:  \: coordinate \:  \: of \:  \: point =  - 2

Here :

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y - 6 = 3(x -  ( - 2))

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y - 6 = 3(x +  2)

How do i convert -1 and 2/3 into a decimal?
hodyreva [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 is already a decimal.

For any fraction you can use: 2/3=x/100

After that, you get x=approx 0.66...
