An investigator thinks that people under the age of forty have vocabularies that are different than those of people over sixty y

ears of age. The investigator administers a vocabulary test to a group of 31 younger subjects and to a group of 31 older subjects. Higher scores reflect better performance. The mean score for younger subjects was 14.0 and the standard deviation of younger subject's scores was 5.0. The mean score for older subjects was 20.0 and the standard deviation of older subject's scores was 6.0. Does this experiment provide evidence for the investigator's theory?

Answer:

t=\frac{(14-20)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{5^2}{31}+\frac{6^2}{31}}}}=-4.28  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

p_v =2*P(t_{60}  

The p value is a very low value so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that people under the age of forty have vocabularies that are different than those of people over sixty years of age.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X_{1}=14 represent the mean for sample 1 (younger)

\bar X_{2}=20 represent the mean for sample 2 (older)  

s_{1}=5 represent the sample standard deviation for 1  

s_{f}=6 represent the sample standard deviation for 2  

n_{1}=31 sample size for the group 2  

n_{2}=31 sample size for the group 2  

t would represent the statistic

System of hypothesis

We want to test if  that people under the age of forty have vocabularies that are different than those of people over sixty years of age, the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0  

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

The statistic is given by:

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=31+31-2=60  

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{(14-20)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{5^2}{31}+\frac{6^2}{31}}}}=-4.28  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

p_v =2*P(t_{60}  

The p value is a very low value so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that people under the age of forty have vocabularies that are different than those of people over sixty years of age.

What is the minimum value for the function shown in the graph?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
Fudgin [204]

The minimum value is the lowest point of a graphed line. The would be the bottom of the "U" shape.

Looking at the graph you can see that the bottom of the U is touching the horizontal line at x = -5.5, so this would be the minimum value.

The lowest part of the line is at -5.5

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form.​
atroni [7]

Answer:

y=3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise/run. To find it, you first see how many units it goes up, followed by how many units it goes to the right. If you look at the point (-1, 2), it rises 3 tiles, and runs 1 tile until it hits the next whole number. Because your little formula is rise/run, it would be 3/1, or 3. And to get your y-intercept, it's just when it intersects the y-axis, which is at 5. So, your equation would be y=3x+5

A glass container can hold 216a^3 cubic cm of water. inside the glass container is a metallic cube with a volume of 64b^3 cubic
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

16(3a-2b)(4a^2+3ab+2b)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be able to fill the glass up to the amount of water possible to hold in the glass, minus the amount in the cube. This means it will be able to hold 216a^3-64b^3=(6a)^3-(4b)^3cubic cm of water.

Using the difference of cubes formula(you can prove this by expanding back out again), we get that (6a^3)-(4b)^3=(6a-4b)((6a)^2+(6a)(4b)+(4b)^2)=(6a-4b)(36a^2+24ab+16b)=8(6a-4b)(4a^2+3ab+2b)=16(3a-2b)(4a^2+3ab+2b)

Therefore, the answer is \boxed{16(3a-2b)(4a^2+3ab+2b)} cubic centimeters and we're done!
