Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours. (P-value = 0).

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete: To test this claim a sample or population standard deviation is needed.</em>

<em>We will estimate that the sample standard deviation is 2 hours, and use a t-test to test that claim.</em>

<em> NOTE (after solving): The difference between the sample mean and the mean of the null hypothesis is big enough to reject the null hypothesis, even when we have a sample standard deviation of 3.5 hours, which can be considered bigger than the maximum standard deviation for the sample.</em>

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=4\\\\H_a:\mu< 4

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=500.

The sample mean is M=3.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{500}}=0.0894

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{3.5-4}{0.0894}=\dfrac{-0.5}{0.0894}=-5.5902

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=500-1=499

This test is a left-tailed test, with 499 degrees of freedom and t=-5.5902, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the batteries power the laptops for significantly less than 4 hours.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the best point estimate for the difference between two population mean is the difference between their sample means.

Given : For the 39 randomly selected upperclassmen, the sample mean was 0.12 and sample standard deviation was 0.42. For the 35 randomly selected underclassmen, the sample mean was 0.34 and the sample standard deviation was 0.87.

Let A denotes the population of upperclassmen and B denotes the population of underclassmen .

\overline{x}_A=0.12

\overline{x}_B=0.34

Then, the point estimate of the difference in the population mean volunteered between underclassmen and upperclassmen will be :-

\overline{x}_B-\overline{x}_A=0.34-0.12=0.22

Hence, the point estimate of the difference in the population mean volunteered between underclassmen and upperclassmen =0.22

What is the value of a+ by when a= 7, b= and c= 1/2 ?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a = 7

b =?

c = 1/2

a + by = 0

7 + b × 1/2 = 0

7 + 1/2 b = 0

1/2 b = - 7

b = -7 × 2

b = - 14

a + by

= 7 + - 14 × 1/2

= 7 -14/2

= 7 - 7

= <u>0</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Id.k if you forgot to write the value of b or not, since the value of b is not given, this will be ur answer.
