Using traditional methods, it takes 9696 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer A

ided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 150150 students and observed that they had a mean of 9595 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 88. A level of significance of 0.050.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is -1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 96 hours

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 95 hours

Sample size, n = 150

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 8 hours

Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{95 - 96}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{150}} } = -1.53$

Thus, the value of the test statistic is -1.53

Use a linear approximation (or differentials) to estimate the given number. (Round your answer to five decimal places.) 3 217

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$f(216) \approx 6.0093$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\sqrt[3]{217}$

Required

Solve

Linear approximated as:

$f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)$

Take:

$x = 216; \triangle x= 1$

So:

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}$

Substitute 216 for x

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$f(x) = 6$

So, we have:

$f(x + \triangle x) \approx f(x) +\triangle x \cdot f'(x)$

$f(215 + 1) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

To calculate f'(x);

We have:

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}$

Rewrite as:

$f(x) = x^\frac{1}{3}$

Differentiate

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}$

Split

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{x}$

$f'(x) = \frac{x^\frac{1}{3}}{3x}$

Substitute 216 for x

$f'(216) = \frac{216^\frac{1}{3}}{3*216}$

$f'(216) = \frac{6}{648}$

$f'(216) = \frac{3}{324}$

So:

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot f'(x)$

$f(216) \approx 6 +1 \cdot \frac{3}{324}$

$f(216) \approx 6 + \frac{3}{324}$

$f(216) \approx 6 + 0.0093$

$f(216) \approx 6.0093$
