A student at a four-year college claims that mean enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the Un

ited States. Two surveys are conducted. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 5,135 with a standard deviation of 783. Of the 35 two-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 4,436 with a standard deviation of 553. Test the student's claim at the 0.01 significance level.
NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom. Round your answer to two decimal places.)(1) What is the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(2) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

Part 1: The statistic

t=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)  

And the degrees of freedom are given by df=n_1 +n_2 -2=35+35-2=68  

Replacing we got

t=\frac{(5135-4436)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{783^2}{35}+\frac{553^2}{35}}}}=4.31  

Part 2: P value  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{68}>4.31)=0.000022 \approx 0.00002  

Comparing the p value we see that is lower compared to the significance level of 0.01 so then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the mean for the four year college is significantly higher than the mean for the two year college and then the claim makes sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

\bar X_{1}=5135 represent the mean for four year college

\bar X_{2}=4436 represent the mean for two year college

s_{1}=783 represent the sample standard deviation for four year college

s_{2}=553 represent the sample standard deviation two year college

n_{1}=35 sample size for the group four year college

n_{2}=35 sample size for the group two year college

\alpha=0.01 Significance level provided

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the United States , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\leq 0  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}> 0  

We can assume that the normal distribution is assumed since we have a large sample size for each case n>30. So then the sample mean can be assumed as normally distributed.

Part 1: The statistic

t=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-\Delta}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)  

And the degrees of freedom are given by df=n_1 +n_2 -2=35+35-2=68  

Replacing we got

t=\frac{(5135-4436)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{783^2}{35}+\frac{553^2}{35}}}}=4.31  

Part 2: P value  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{68}>4.31)=0.000022  

Comparing the p value we see that is lower compared to the significance level of 0.01 so then we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the mean for the four year college is significantly higher than the mean for the two year college and then the claim makes sense

Fill in the other coordinate for the line 7x - 5y = 21: (4, )
garri49 [273]
7x - 5y = 21....(4,?)...so sub in 4 for x and solve for y
7(4) - 5y = 21
28 - 5y = 21
-5y = 21 - 28
-5y = - 7
y = 7/5

check..
7(4) - 5(7/5) = 21
28 - 35/5 = 21
28 - 7 = 21
21 = 21 (correct)

the other coordinate is 7/5......(4,7/5)
