Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

90 = 9 x 10 = (7 + 2) x 10 = 70 + 20

70 men and 20 women

$\frac{70}{5} = \frac{20 + X}{4}$

56 = 20 + X ⇔ X = 36

Answer : + 36 women

A medical researcher wondered if there is a significant difference between the mean birth weight of boy and girl babies. Random

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

b) independent samples t-test

$t=\frac{(5.92 -5.74)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.88^2}{5}}+\frac{1.81^2}{5}}=0.154$

$p_v =2*P(t_{8}>0.154) =0.881$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the mean of the group 1 (boys) is NOT significantly different than the mean for the group 2 (Girls).

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_1 = \mu_2$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_1 \neq \mu_2$

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_1 -\mu_2\neq 0$

Our notation on this case :

$n_1 =5$ represent the sample size for group 1

$n_2 =5$ represent the sample size for group 2

We can calculate the mean and deviation for eaach group with the following formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X_1 =5.92$ represent the sample mean for the group 1

$\bar X_2 =5.74$ represent the sample mean for the group 2

$s_1=1.88$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

$s_2=1.81$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

If we see the alternative hypothesis we see that we are conducting a bilateral test and with independnet samples t test.

b) independent samples t-test

The statistic is given by this formula:

$t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}}+\frac{S^2_2}{n_2}}$

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$t=\frac{(5.92 -5.74)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.88^2}{5}}+\frac{1.81^2}{5}}=0.154$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=5+5-2=8$

And now we can calculate the p value using the altenative hypothesis:

$p_v =2*P(t_{8}>0.154) =0.881$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the mean of the group 1 (boys) is NOT significantly different than the mean for the group 2 (Girls).

-35 − (-12) = A) -47 B) -23 C) 23 D) 47

Alexus [3.1K]

B) -23 because a double negative is a positive so it’s -35 + 12 which is -23

Subtract (-8+2x^3) from (3x^3-4-3x)

Harman [31]

$\to \sf(3x^3-4-3x) - (-8+2x^3)$

$\to \sf(3x^3-4-3x) + 8 - 2x^3$

$\to \sf3x^3-4-3x + 8 - 2x^3$

$\to \sf3x^3 - 2x^3-3x +4$

$\to \sf x^3-3x +4$
