A professor finds that the average SAT score among all students attending his college is 1150 ± 150 (μ ± σ). He polls his class

of 25 students and finds that the average SAT score is 1200. Suppose he computes a one-sample z test at a .05 level of significance. What is his decision

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Hello!

Be X: SAT scores of students attending college.

The population mean is μ= 1150 and the standard deviation σ= 150

The teacher takes a sample of 25 students of his class, the resulting sample mean is 1200.

If the professor wants to test if the average SAT score is, as reported, 1150, the statistic hypotheses are:

H₀: μ = 1150

H₁: μ ≠ 1150

α: 0.05

Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~~N(0;1)

Z_{H_0}= \frac{1200-1150}{\frac{150}{\sqrt{25} } } = 1.67

The p-value for this test is  0.0949

Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis. Then using a significance level of 5%, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, then the average SAT score of the college students is not 1150.

I hope it helps!

A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, which grow at a rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6
ddd [48]

Answer:

The population of bacteria after 6 days is 2,313.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The initial population of bacteria = i = 1,000 bacteria

The growth rate of bacteria per day = 15%

Let The population of bacteria after 6 days = f

The time period of growth = 6 days

<u>Now, According to question</u>

The population of bacteria after 6 days = initial population × (1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}

Or, f = i × (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm t}

Or, f = 1000 × (1+\dfrac{\textrm 15}{100})^{\textrm 6}

Or, f = 1000 × (1.15)^{6}

Or, f = 1000 × 2.31306

∴  f = 2,313.06

So,The population of bacteria after 6 days = f = 2,313.06

Hence,The population of bacteria after 6 days is 2,313.06  Answer

Ellason wants to solve the following system using the elimination method: 5x + 2y = 30 x + y = 8 What number should the equation
Zinaida [17]
 - 2 because we obtain : - 2x - 2y = - 16 ;
We solve the system:
5x + 2y = 30
-2x - 2y = -16
_____________(+)
3x /       = 14;
x = 14/3;
y = 8 - 14/3;
y = 24/3 -14/3;
y = 10/3;

The solution of the system is ( 14/3 ; 10/3 )

First off hmm <span>26°1' is just 26 degrees and 1 minute

there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, so 1minute is just 1/60 degrees
so </span>26°1' is 26° + (1/60)°  or 26.1667 rounded up, since 1/60 is a recurring unit

alrite... so hmm, check the picture below
