Answer:

Alpha (α) is used to measure the error for decisions concerning true null hypotheses, while beta (ß) is used to measure error for decisions concerning false null hypotheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have events X and Y.

1. If it is said that X equals Y, when X is actually not equal to Y, α is used in this case, the null hypotheses.

2. If X is said to not be equal to Y, when X is actually equal to Y, β is used in this case, the false null hypotheses.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the null and alternate hypothesis be

H0:  μboys − μgirls > 0

against the claim

Ha: μboys − μgirls ≤ 0

2) The significance level is set at 0.01

3) The critical region is z  ≤  ± 1.28

4) The test statistic

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

Here p1= 397/768= 0.5169  and p2= 331/745=0.4429

pc = 397+331/768+745

pc= 0.4811

qc= 1-pc= 1-0.4811=0.5188

5) Calculations

Z= p1-p2/ sqrt [pcqc( 1/n1+ 1/n2)]

z= 0.5169-0.4429/√ 0.4811*0.5188( 1/768+  1/745)

z= 2.82

6) Conclusion

Since the calculated value of z= 2.82  does not lie in the critical region  the null hypothesis is accepted and it is concluded that the sample data support the authors' conclusion that the proportion of the country's boys who listen to music at high volume is greater than this proportion for the country's girls.

7)

The value of p is 0 .00233. The result is significant at p < 0.10.

Slove the system<br> Of Linear Eqitions by<br> Elimination <br> 3x-y=0<br> 2x+y=-10
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<em>(-2, -6)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation

3x-y=0 ... 1

2x+y=-10 ... 2

Add both equations to eliminate y

3x + 2x = 0 - 10

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 into 1

3(-2)- y = 0

-6 - y = 0

-y = 0+ 6

-y = 6

y = -6

<em>Hence the coordinate (x, y) is (-2, -6)</em>

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: 6+ 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree starts off at 6 feet so that doesn't change but it grows constantly 2 feet per year so add 2y to 6 and plug in the number of years for y.

4x-2=2x+8
2x=10
X=5
Explanation: the sides of a square are always congruent, meaning they equal each other. So to find the missing length, all you had to do was make the two equations equal to each other and solve!
