A report from the office of the superintendent claims that the average reading test score of 4th grade students in the school di

strict is 76. A group of parents suspects that the real mean is lower than this reported score so they draw a random sample consisting of 37 4th grade student reading exam scores. they find that the sample mean is 74 and the sample standard deviation is 4.5. Find the P-value for the test and state your conclusion at the significance level of 0.05

WITCHER [35]3 years ago

Answer:

p_v =P(t_{36}    

If we compare the p value and a significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the scores seems to be lower than 76.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

\bar X=74 represent the average score for the sample    

s=4.5 represent the sample standard deviation    

n=37 sample size    

\mu_o =76 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)    

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to apply a one lower tailed test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?    

Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 76  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu < 76  

Compute the test statistic  

The statistic for this case is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

t=\frac{74-76}{\frac{4.5}{\sqrt{37}}}=-2.703    

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test  

First we need to find the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=37-1=36

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:    

p_v =P(t_{36}    

Conclusion    

If we compare the p value and a significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the scores seems to be lower than 76.

Solve:<br>3 = -2v - V<br>V=​
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

V = −1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3=−2v−v

3=−2v+−v

3=(−2v+−v)(Combine Like Terms)

3=−3v

3=−3v

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−3v=3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

<u>−3v</u>  = <u>3</u>

-3     -3

v=−1

A group of 5 men are meeting for lunch.
Sladkaya [172]

Tile:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

There were total 5 men wearing coats.

5 coats can be returned to 5 men in 5! = 120 ways.

The coats can be returned to the accurate persons only in 1 way.

Hence, the probability that each man gets the correct coat is \frac{1}{120}.

(b)

At the time of returning the first coat, the hostess will have 5 choices and for the second she will have 4 choices.

Hence, in 5\times4 = 20 ways the hostess can return the 2 coats.

There is only 1 possible case that each of the coats will return to the correct owner.

Hence, the required probability is \frac{1}{20}.

The ordered pair (3,9) is a solution to the system of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

(2,7) is not a solution to the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation is:

2x + 3 = y

2x + y = 15

To check whether (2,7) is solution to this system or not, we will put x=2 and y=7 in both equations.

Putting x=2 and y=7 in Eqn 1

2(2) + 3 = 7

4 + 3 = 7

7 = 7

Thus the ordered pair satisfies the equation

Putting x=2 and y=7 in Eqn 2

2(2) + 7 = 15

4 + 7 = 15

11 ≠ 15

The ordered pair do not satisfy the second equation.

Hence,

(2,7) is not a solution to the given system of equations.

How can you use 1300 divided by 13 to help you find 1,287 divided 13
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about the benefits of estimation.

1300/13 is easy and results in 100.

1287/13 can be approximated by 1300/13:  1287/13 ≈ 100.

Actually, 1287 = 1300 - 13 = 13(99); just subtract 1 from 100.  

So:  1287/13 = 1300 - 13 = 1287.  A nice bit of mental math!

The family car runs out of gas. You have to push it up the driveway into a service station. The ramp is 4 meters long and rises
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope, m = 0.1m/4m = 0.025

Theoretical effort (ignoring friction) = 9000N * 0.025 = 225 N

actual effort = 300 N

efficiency

= potential energy out / actual energy in

= 225 N / 300 N = 0.75
