In a​ study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal​ region, the portion of the brain responsibl

e for​ long-term memory​ storage, in adolescents. The researchers randomly selected 17 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm cubed. An analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with no outliers and x overbarequals8.19 cm cubed and sequals0.8 cm cubed. Conduct the appropriate test at the alphaequals0.01 level of significance.

Answer:

t=\frac{8.19-9.02}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{17}}}=-4.28    

The degrees of freedom are given by

df=n-1=17-1=16  

The p value would be given by this probability:

p_v =P(t_{(16)}  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level provided of 0.01 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly lower than 9.02 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=8.19 cm^3 represent the sample mean

s=0.8 cm^3 represent the sample deviation

n=17 sample size  

\mu_o =9.02 represent the value to verify

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis to check

We want to check if the true mean is less than the normal value of 9.02 cm^3, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 9.02  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 9.02  

The statistic for this case is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{8.19-9.02}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{17}}}=-4.28    

The degrees of freedom are given by

df=n-1=17-1=16  

The p value would be given by this probability:

p_v =P(t_{(16)}  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level provided of 0.01 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly lower than 9.02 cm^3

What is the value of x in the equation 8x-2y=48, when y=4
Oksanka [162]
8x - 2y = 48,  y =4

8x - 2(4) = 48
8x - 8 = 48
8x = 48+8
8x  = 56
x = 56/8 = 7

x = 7

Show that point (pi/3,1/2) is on the curve of y=cosx
jarptica [38.1K]
Here y=1/2 x=pi/3=60°

y=cosx
1/2=cos60° and cos60°=1/2
so LHS=RHS

so that point is on curve y=cosx

Pedro bought lb of red sand and lb of brown sand to refill his sand box. Both types of sand cost $4.60 a pound. How much did Ped
Doss [256]
If we know that Pedro bought 1 \frac{1}{4} pounds of red sand, and 5 \frac{1}{2} pounds of brown sand, and they both cost $4.60, then we just have to add the individual amounts of sand, since they cost the same.

1  \frac{1}{4} + 5  \frac{1}{2} = 6  \frac{3}{4}

So Pedro bought 6 \frac{3}{4} lbs of sand overall. Now, we just need to multiply the cost per pound by the total amount of sand he bought.

6 \frac{3}{4} * 4.6 = 31.05

Pedro spent $31.05 on sand, which is answer choice B.
Hope that helped =)
