It is believed that the SAT scores for students entering two state universities may have different standard deviations. Specific

ally, it is believed that the standard deviation at University A is greater than the standard deviation at University B. To test this using an alpha = 0.05 level, a sample of 14 student SAT scores from University A was selected and a sample of 8 SAT scores from University B was selected. The following sample results were observed: University A University B = 1104 = 1254 s = 134 s = 108 Based on this information, what is the critical value that will be used to test the hypothesis?

Answer:

The critical value of <em>F</em> is 3.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim to be test is, the SAT scores for students entering two state universities may have different standard deviations. It is believed that the standard deviation at University A is greater than the standard deviation at University B.

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The standard deviations are same, i.e. <em>σ</em>₁ = <em>σ</em>₂

<em>Hₐ</em>: The standard deviations are different, i.e. <em>σ</em>₁ > <em>σ</em>₂<em>.</em>

A <em>F</em>-test will be used to perform the hypothesis test.

The <em>F</em>-statistic is given by:

F=\frac{S_{1}^{2}}{S_{2}^{2}}\sim F_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}-1),(n_{2}-1)

The information provided is:

                                            University A University B

Sample mean                                   1104               1254

Sample Standard Deviation             134                108

Sample size                                      14                           8

Compute the critical value of F using MS-Excel as follows:

The degrees of freedom are:

df₁ = n₁ - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

df₂ = n₂ - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

<u>Step 1</u>:

Open function → F.INV.RT

A dialog box will open.

<u>Step 2</u>:

Enter the details as shown in the image below. Press OK

Thus, the critical value of <em>F</em> is 3.55.

Write an expression equivalent to h^6/h^3 in the form of h^m
Pavel [41]

Answer:

h^3 = h^m

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{h^6}{h^3} = h^m

6 - 3 = 3

keep the base same, therefore

h^3 = h^m

Hope this helps!

What is the rate of change and initial value of the linear function modeled by a line passing through the points (0,8) and (3,-1
kumpel [21]
The rate of change is equal to rise over run
= (-1 - 8)÷(3 - 0)
= -9 ÷ 3
= -3

When you say initial value I'm assuming you mean the y-intercept

In that case you first need to find the equation of the line by substituting the gradient and point into the gradient intercept formula

y - 8 = -3(x - 0)
y = -3x + 8

The y-intercept is when x = 0 so,

y = -3(0) + 8
Therefore y = 8
