A test preparation claims that more than​ 50% of the students who take their test prep course improve their scores by at least 1

0 points. Instead of advertising the percentage of customers who improve by at least 10​ points, a manager suggests testing whether the mean score improves at all. For each customer they record the difference in score before and after taking the course.
Required:
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
​b. The​ P-value from the test is 0.65. Does this provide any evidence that their course​ works? ​
c. From part​ b, what can you​ tell, if​ anything, about the mean difference in the sample​ scores?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding scores before and after taking the course form matched pairs.

The data for the test are the differences between the scores before and after taking the course.

μd = scores before taking the course minus scores before taking the course.

a) For the null hypothesis

H0: μd ≥ 0

For the alternative hypothesis

H1: μd < 0

b) We would assume a significance level of 0.05. The​ P-value from the test is 0.65. The p value is high. It increases the possibility of accepting the null hypothesis.

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.65, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, it does not provide enough evidence that scores after the course are greater than the scores before the course.

c) The mean difference for the sample scores is greater than or equal to zero

Find the sixth term of the sequence 1/2, -3/8, 9/32
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The sixth term is -243/2048 ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the geometric sequence

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)  

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric sequence:

# U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar²  ,  U4 = ar³  ,  U5 = ar^4

# Un = ar^(n-1), where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio

  between each two consecutive terms  and n is the position of the

  number in the sequence

- Ex: U5 = ar^4  ,  U7 = ar^6  ,  U10 = ar^9  ,  U12 = ar^11

- Lets solve the problem

∵ The sequence is 1/2 , -3/8 , 9/32

- Lets find the constant ratio r

∵ The first term is a = 1/2

∵ The second term is U2 = ar

∵ The second term  U2 = -3/8

∴ ar = -3/8

∴ 1/2 r = -3/8 ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ r = -3/4

- Lets find the sixth term

∵ a = 1/2 and r = -3/4

∵ n = 6

∴ U6 = ar^5

∴ U6 = 1/2 (-3/4)^5 = 1/2 × -243/1024 = -243/2048

* The sixth term is -243/2048

There was a plate of cookies on the table. Amanda was hungry because she hadn't had breakfast, so she
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

10 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So in order to figure this out you have to work backwards. First, Daniel came and took a cookie. So when he took 1 there were 3 cookies available. Next Christine took one fourth of the cookies, meaning that the 3 available cookies are the remaining 3/4's. When she got there she took 1. Then Beth came and took 1/3. For it to be 3/3 there has to be 1 and 1/3 more cookies. Now there are 5 and 1/3 cookies. Amanda came and ate half of the cookies meaning that the amount of cookies we have now is the other half that she didnt eat. 5 and 1/3 plus 5 and 1/3 is 10 and 2/3. I hope this is correct.
