A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain sca

le before and after hypnosis. Assume that the paired sample data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Construct 95% confidence interval for the mean of the "before−after" differences. Does hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain?

After 6.7 2.4 7.4 8.1 8.6 6.4 3.9 2.7

The confidence interval for mean of the "before-after" differences is \fbox{(-0.4037,1.8037)}

Further explanation:

Find the difference between the before pain and the after pain.

Difference = before-after

Kindly refer to the Table for the difference of between the before and after pain.

Sum of difference = 5.6

Total number of observation = 8

Mean of difference = 0.7

Sample standard deviation s = 1.3201

Level of significance = 5\%

Formula for confidence interval = \left( \bar{X} \pm t_{n-1, \frac{\alpha}{2}\%} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \right)

confidence interval = \left( 0.7 \pm t_{8-1, \frac{5}{2}\%} \frac{1.3201}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

confidence interval = \left( 0.7 \pm t_{7, \frac{5}{2}\%} \frac{1.3201}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

From the t-table.

The value of t_{7, \frac{5}{2}\%=2.365

Confidence interval = ( 0.7 \pm 2.365}\times \frac{1.3201}{\sqrt{8}}) \right)

Confidence interval = \left( 0.7 - 2.365}\times \0.4667,0.7 + 2.365}\times \0.4667) \right

Confidence interval = (0.7-1.1037,0.7+1.1037)

Confidence interval = \fbox{(-0.4037,1.8037)}

The 95\% confidence interval tells us about that 95\% chances of the true mean or population mean lies in the interval.

Yes, the hypnotism appear to be effective in reducing pain as confidence interval include includes the positive deviation from the mean.

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of the “before-after” difference is (-0.4039,1.8039)

No, Hypnotism doesn’t appear to be effective in reducing pain.

Further explanation:

Given: The table of measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain.

Before : 6.4    2.6    7.7   10.5    11.7    5.8    4.3    2.8

After    : 6.7    2.4    7.4     8.1     8.6    6.4    3.9    2.7

we make the table of difference between “before-after”

(Before-After) :

6.4-6.7  2.6-2.4  7.7-7.4  10.5-8.1  11.7-8.6  5.8-6.4  4.3-3.9  2.8-2.7

   -0.3        0.2       0.3         2.4         3.1        -0.6       0.4         0.1

Now, we find the sample mean and sample standard deviation of above table.

\text{Sample Mean, }\bar{x}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of number}}{\text{number of observation}}

=\dfrac{-0.3+0.2+0.3+2.4+3.1-0.6+0.4+0.1}{8}

=\dfrac{5.6}{8}=0.7

\text{Sample Standard deviation, s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

=\sqrt{\dfrac{(-0.3-0.7)^2+(0.2-0.7)^2+(0.3-0.7)^2 ...+(0.1-0.7)^2}{8-1}}

=\dfrac{12.2}{7}=1.3201

For 95% confidence interval \mu_d using t-distribution

\text{Marginal Error, E}=t_{\frac{\alpha}{2},df}\times \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where,

  • t_{\frac{\alpha}{2},df} is critical value.
  • alpha is significance level, \alpha=1-0.95=0.05
  • df is degree of freedom for t-distribution, df=n-1 =7
  • s is sample standard deviation, s=1.3201
  • n is sample size, n=8

For critical value,

\Rightarrow t_{\frac{\alpha}{2},df}

\Rightarrow t_{\frac{0.05}{2},7}

\Rightarrow t_{0.025,7}

using t-distribution two-tailed table,

t_{0.025,7}=2.365

Substitute the values into formula and calculate E

E=2.65\times \dfrac{1.301}{\sqrt{8}}

Therefore, Marginal error, E=1.1039

95% confidence interval given by:

=\bar{x}\pm E

=0.7\pm 1.1039

  • For lowest value of interval: 0.7-1.1039 = -0.4039
  • For largest value of interval: 0.7+1.1039 = 1.8039

Therefore, 95% confidence interval using t-distribution: (-0.4039,1.8039)

This interval contains 0

Therefore, Hypnotism doesn’t appear to be effective in reducing pain.

How do I solve this?
Simora [160]

Answer:

(y - 3)^4

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor does not include either the 2 or the 5. Both of these numbers are prime; they have nothing in common.

But the binomials do have something in common.

You could write them like this to see what I am about to tell you.

(y - 3)^4 = (y - 3)*(y - 3)*(y - 3)*(y - 3)

(y - 3)^5 = (y - 3)*(y - 3)*(y - 3)*(y - 3)*(y - 3)

The common factor in both of these is (y - 3)^4 which is in  bold results.

6. The vertices of ALMN are L(7,4), M(7,16), and
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

(a) LM=12 units, LN=35 units, MN=37 units

(b)8 84 units

(c) 210 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Since points L and M have same x coordinates, it means they are in the same plane. Also, since the Y coordinates of L and N are same, they also lie in the same plane

Length LM=\sqrt {(7-7)^{2}+(16-4)^{2}}=12 units

Length LN=\sqrt {(42-7)^{2}+(4-4)^{2}}=35 units

LengthMN=\sqrt {(42-7)^{2}+(4-16)^{2}}=37 units

Alternatively, since this is a right angle triangle, length MN is found using Pythagoras theorem where

MN=\sqrt {(LN)^{2}+(LM)^{2}}=\sqrt {(12)^{2}+(35)^{2}}=37 units

Therefore, the lengths LM=12 units, LN=35 units and MN=37 units

(b)

Perimeter is the distance all round the figure

P=LM+LN+MN=12 units+35 units+37 units=84 units

(c)

Area of a triangle is given by 0.5bh where b is base and h is height, in this case, b is LN=35 units and h=LM which is 12 units

Therefore, A=0.5*12*35= 210 square units
