In one area, monthly incomes of technology-related workers have a standard deviation of $650. It is believed that the standard d

eviation of the monthly incomes of non-technology workers is different. 71 non-technology workers are randomly selected and it is determined that these selected workers have a standard deviation of $950. Test the claim that the non-technology workers have a different standard deviation (so different from $650). Use a 0.10 significance level.

Answer:

There is sufficient statistical evidence to prove that the standard deviation of the technology-related workers and the standard deviation of the non-technology workers are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have our null hypothesis as H₀: σ² = s²

Our alternative hypothesis is then Hₐ: σ² ≠ s²

We therefore have a two tailed test

To test the hypothesis of difference in standard deviation which is the Chi squared test given as follows

\chi ^{2} = \dfrac{\left (n-1  \right )s^{2}}{\sigma ^{2}}

Where:

n = Size of sample

s² = Variance of sample = 950²

σ² = Variance of population = 650²

Degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 71 - 1 = 70

α = Significance level = 0.1

Therefore, we use 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

From the Chi-square table, we have the critical value as

1 - α/2 = 51.739,  

α/2 = 90.531

Plugging the values in the above Chi squared test equation, we have;

\chi ^{2} = \dfrac{\left (23-1  \right )950^{2}}{650 ^{2}} = 49.994

Therefore, since the test value within the critical region, we do not reject the null hypothesis, hence there is sufficient statistical evidence to prove that the standard deviation of the technology-related workers and the standard deviation of the non-technology workers are equal.

3. There are 124 acorns laying on the ground in your yard, it is predicted that the number of acorns will
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

507,409

Step-by-step explanation:

if every 5 days the number quadruples (x4), and we want to know how many acorns fall after 30 days, we can divide 30 by 5 so we only have to calculate for the amount of time the take to quadruple.

30 ÷ 5 = 6

so we only have to quadruple the acorns 6 times.

if we start off with 124 acorns, this is what it will look like:

Day 0: 124 acorns

Day 5: 124 x 4 = 496 acorns

Day 10: 496 x 4 = 1984 acorns

Day 15: 1984 x 4 = 7936 acorns

etc... until day 30.

Day 30: 507904 acorns

I hope this was helpful :-)

I need help solving this equation -3=9/(5-2k)/5
Amanda [17]

Solve for k by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

k= 14/5
