Assume a simple random sample of 10 BMIs with a standard deviation of 1.186 is selected from a normally distributed population o

f recent Miss America winners. Use 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the BMI for recent Miss America winners are from a population with standard deviation of 1.34.
A. Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
B. Find the critical value or values.
C. Find the test statistic.
D. State the conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Answer:

a) H0: \sigma = 1.34

H1: \sigma \neq 1.34

b) df = n-1= 10-1=9

And the critical values with \alpha/2=0.005 on each tail are:

\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589

c) t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05

d) For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n = 10 sample size

s= 1.186 the sample deviation

\sigma_o =1.34 the value that we want to test

p_v represent the p value for the test

t represent the statistic  (chi square test)

\alpha=0.01 significance level

Part a

On this case we want to test if the true deviation is 1,34 or no, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma = 1.34

H1: \sigma \neq 1.34

The statistic is given by:

t=(n-1) [\frac{s}{\sigma_o}]^2

Part b

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

And the critical values with \alpha/2=0.005 on each tail are:

\chi_{\alpha/2}= 1.735, \chi_{1-\alpha/2}= 23.589

Part c

Replacing the info we got:

t=(10-1) [\frac{1.186}{1.34}]^2 =7.05

Part d

For this case since the critical value is not higher or lower than the critical values we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not significantly different from 1.34

Fofino [41]

The probability of senior citizens suffer from sleep disorders is

P(A)=0.91

The probability of senior citizens suffer from anxiety is,0.09.

P(B)=0.09

The probability of seniors suffer from both sleep disorders and anxiety is,

P(A\cap B)=0.06

a. The probability that a senior citizen suffers from anxiety, given that he or she has a

sleep disorder.

P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}P(A|B)=\frac{0.06}{0.09}P(A|B)=0.67

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(1) 12 boxes (2) 1173  points

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Jamie needs to fit all if his toys in the boxes, so you would need to do 103 times 9, making it 11.4. So, you'd need twelve boxes to fit all of he toys into boxes.

(2) The contestant earned 69 points, and each of those points are worth 17 points, meaning you have to do 17 times 69, which is 1173 .
