A clinical psychologist wants to test whether experiencing childhood trauma affects one's self-efficacy in adulthood. He randoml

y selects 231 adults who have experienced childhood trauma and finds that their mean self-efficacy score equals 148.9. The standard deviation of the sample equals 27.4. Self-efficacy scores in the general population of adults are distributed normally with a mean equal to 152.5 . Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the self-efficacy of adults who have experienced childhood trauma differs from that in the general population of individuals

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 152.5

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ ≠ 152.5

This is a two tailed test.

Since no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 231

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 231 - 1 = 230

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 148.9

µ = population mean = 152.5

s = samples standard deviation = 27.4

t = (148.9 - 152.5)/(27.4/√231) = - 2

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.047

Since alpha, 0.05 > thanthere sufficient evidence to conclude that the self-efficacy of adults who have experienced childhood trauma differs from that in the general population of individuals the p value, 0.047, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the self-efficacy of adults who have experienced childhood trauma differs from that in the general population of individuals

1 Hector puts a fence around his rectangular
prisoha [69]

Answer:

48 feet of fence

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has 4 sides, the parallel sides are equal to each other in length.

If Hector used 14 feet of fence on the long side, he used 28 feet in total for both long sides.

If Hector used 10 feet for the width/short side, he used 20 feet in total for both short sides.

Put simply: (14 x 2) + (10 x 2) = 48 feet of fence in total

A large mixing tank currently contains 350 gallons of water, into which 10 pounds of sugar have been mixed. A tap will open, pou
Marysya12 [62]

Answer

Let t be number of minutes since tap is opened

water is increased by 20 gallons of water per minute.

sugar increase rate of 3 pounds per minute

water :- W(t) = 350 + 10 t

sugar :- S(t) = 10 + 3 t

concentration

C(t) = \dfrac{S(t)}{W(t)}

at t = 15 minutes

C(15) = \dfrac{S(15)}{W(15)}

C(15) = \dfrac{10 + 3\times 15 }{350 + 10\times 15}

C(15) = 0.11

at beginning t = 0 minutes

C(0) = \dfrac{S(0)}{W(0)}

C(0) = \dfrac{10 + 3\times 0}{350 + 10\times 0}

C(0) = 0.0286

C(15) > C(0)

hence, concentration is increasing as time is passing.
