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

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.

If f(x) = -4^x - 8 and g(x) = 5x + 6, find (f+g)(x)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

(f+g)(x) = -4^x + 5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

if f(x) = -4^x - 8 and g(x) = 5x + 6,

(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

= -4^x - 8 + 5x + 6

= -4^x + 5x - 2

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.
devlian [24]

Answer:

Dy/Dx=x ( 2 ln ( x ) − 1 )/ ln ^2 ( x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have this function and let's derive it in terms of x.

y =x^2/In x

Dy/Dx=(x^2/In x)'=2/lnx *(x^2)'-(x^2/In x)'=> 2 x *ln ( x ) − x *ln ^2 ( x ) =x ( 2 ln ( x ) − 1 )/ ln ^2 ( x)
