An article reported on the results of an experiment in which half of the individuals in a group of 60 postmenopausal overweight

women were randomly assigned to a particular vegan diet, and the other half received a diet based on National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines. The sample mean decrease in body weight for those on the vegan diet was 5.7 kg, and the sample SD was 3.1, whereas for those on the control diet, the sample mean weight loss and standard deviation were 3.9 and 2.7, respectively. Does it appear that the true average weight loss for the vegan diet exceeds that for the control diet by more than 1 kg

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let's first compute the null and alternative hypothesis

Null hypothesis:

\mathbf{H_o: \mu_1-\mu_2=1}

Alternative hypothesis:

H_a :\mu_1 -\mu_2 > 1

The number of samples is half in a group of 60

i.e

n_1=n_2 = 30

the sample mean for sample 1 \overline x_1 = 5.7

the standard deviation for sample 1 s_1 = 3.1

the sample mean for sample 2 \overline x_2 = 3.9

the standard  deviation for sample 2 s_2 = 2.7

degree of freedom  for this test can be computed by using the formula:

df = \dfrac{\begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \dfrac{s^2_2}{n_2}   \end {pmatrix}^2  }  {\dfrac{ (\dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1}^2)}{ n_1-1}  + \dfrac{ (\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2}^2)}{ n_2-1}  }

df = \dfrac{\begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3.1^2}{30} + \dfrac{2.7^2}{30}   \end {pmatrix}^2  }  {\dfrac{ \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3.1^2}{30} \end {pmatrix}^2}{ 30-1}  + \dfrac{ \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{2.7^2}{30} \end {pmatrix}^2}{ 30-1}  }}

df = 114.68

The test statistics can be computed as follows:

t = \dfrac{ \overline x_1 -\overline x_2- (\mu_1 -\mu_2)}{\sqrt{ \dfrac{s_1^2}{n_1} +\dfrac{s_2^2}{n_2} }}

t = \dfrac{ 5.7-3.9- (1)}{\sqrt{ \dfrac{3.1^2}{30} +\dfrac{2.7^2}{30} }}

t = 1.07

Using the level of significance of 0.1, the P-value for the test statistics at the df of 114.68 is:

P-value = 0.143

Decision rule: To reject the null hypothesis if the level of significance is greater than the p-value.

Conclusion: We fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is greater than the level of significance at 0.1.

Thus, it appears that the true average weight loss for the vegan diet does not exceeds that for the control diet by more than 1 kg.

Tyrone makes a scale drawing of his backyard. The scale from the backyard to the drawing is 2 ft to 1 in. The width of the patio
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The width of Tyrone's actual patio is 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2ft}{1in} =  \frac{x}{8}   If we look at what we know, we see that the scale tells us that 1 inch is proportional to 2 ft.  What do we need to multiple 1 inch by to get 8 inches?  8.  So, we multiply 2 feet by 8 to get the actual size of the patio which is 16 feet.

Please help me with either one, (all both) I’ve been struggling with this
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x = 12, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 legs of the triangle are congruent, both 2x + 7, then

2x + 7 + 2x + 7 + x + 11 = 85 ← equation for perimeter

5x + 25 = 85 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

-----------------------------------------------------------

Opposite sides are congruent, then

2(2x) + 2(5x + 3) = 104 ← distribute and simplify both sides

4x + 10x + 6 = 104

14x + 6 = 104 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

14x = 98 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 7
