The lettering for m and b in this equation are mostly nonsensical to us today, but here:

m is your slope (rise/run, steepness) and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis aka when x=0).

leonid [27]

Answer:

360 grams of cereal

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to do 540 times 8 to find out how many grams of cereal he ate over the eight weeks.

Then you have to divide the answer by 12 to get 360 grams of cereal.

I hope this helped ;)

In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa

arlik [135]

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>The significance level is 0.05.</em>

<em>Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89</em>

<em>Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99</em>

<em>Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76</em>

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

$H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z$

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

$H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z$

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

$s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33$

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

$MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78$

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

$M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91$

The MSB is then:

$s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172$

Now we calculate the F statistic as:

$F=MSB/MSE=172/23.78=7.23$

The degrees of freedom of the numerator are:

$dfn=a-1=3-1=2$

The degrees of freedom of the denominator are:

$dfd=N-a=3*4-3=12-3=9$

The P-value of F=7.23, dfn=2 and dfd=9 is:

$P-value=P(F>7.23)=0.01342$

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.
