Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. Th

denpristay [2]

Answer:

(1) Correct option is B.

(2) Correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

$n_{1}=200,\ \bar x_{1}=22.7,\ s_{1} = 4.5\\n_{2}=200,\ \bar x_{2}=19.7,\ s_{2} = 4.3$

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the difference between two mean is:

$CI=\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_[2}-2}\sqrt{\frac{s_{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}} }$

The critical value of <em>t</em> is:

$\alpha /2=0.05/2=0.025$

degrees of freedom $=n_{1}+n_{2}-2=200+200-2=398$

$t_{\alpha/2, n_{1}+n_{2}-2}=t_{0.025, 398}=1.96$

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the difference between two mean as follows:

$CI=22.7-19.7\pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{4.5^{2}}{200}+\frac{4.3^{2}}{200} }\\=3\pm0.8624\\=(2.1376, 3.8624)\\\approx(2.14, 3.86)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval, (2.14, 3.86) implies that the true mean difference value is contained in this interval with probability 0.95.

Correct option is B.

The null value of the difference between means is 0.

As the value 0 is not in the interval this implies that there is a difference between the two means, concluding that priming does have an effect on scores.

Correct option is C.

A curve passes through the point (0,7) and has the property that the slope of the curve at every point P is five times the y-coo

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

y(x) = 7e^(5x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that the slope of the curve at every point P is five times the y-coordinate of P. This means that

dy/dx = 5y

Refer to solutions of differential equations, dy/dt = ky, being in the form of y(t) = y(0) e^(kt)

Using the above stated law now, we can relate to our equation, saying that

y(x) = y(0) e^(5x)

The point given from the question is, (0, 7). This also means that y(0) = 7. So finally, we can have

y(x) = 7e^(5x)

And that is our needed equation of the curve

Answer:

The test statistic is z=2.5.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the 16 ounce cups are underfilled.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that more than 10% of the 16 ounce cups are underfilled.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi=0.1\\\\H_a:\pi>0.1$

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample has a size n=100.

The sample proportion is p=0.18.

$p=X/n=18/100=0.18$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1*0.9}{100}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001}=0.03$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.18-0.1-0.5/100}{0.03}=\dfrac{0.075}{0.03}=2.5$

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

$P-value=P(z>2.5)=0.006$

As the P-value (0.006) 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 more than 10% of the 16 ounce cups are underfilled.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

G(x,y)=(-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

$(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Given:

$F(x_1,y_1)=(0, -10)\\H(x_2,y_2)=(-6, 5)\\FG:GH=m:n=2:1$

We substitute the values to get:

$G(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{2*-6+1*0}{2+1}, \dfrac{2*5+1*-10}{2+1}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{10-10}{3}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{0}{3}\right)\\\\G(x,y)=(-4,0)$
