An author argued that more basketball players have birthdates in the months immediately following July​ 31, because that was the

age cutoff date for nonschool basketball leagues. Here is a sample of frequency counts of months of birthdates of randomly selected professional basketball players starting with​ January: 390​, 392​, 360​, 318​, 344​, 330​, 322​, 496​, 486​, 486​, 381​, 331 . Using a 0.05 significance​ level, is there sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency? Do the sample values appear to support the​ author's claim?

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to test whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency.

A Chi-square test for goodness of fit will be used in this case.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The observed frequencies are same as the expected frequencies.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The observed frequencies are not same as the expected frequencies.

The test statistic is given as follows:

 \chi^{2}=\sum{\frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E}}

The values are computed in the table.

The test statistic value is \chi^{2}=128.12.

The degrees of freedom of the test is:

n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

Compute the <em>p</em>-value of the test as follows:

p-value < 0.00001

*Use a Chi-square table.

p-value < 0.00001 < α = 0.05.

So, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any significance level.

Thus, there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency.

What is the arc length if the radius is 12 cm?*
ladessa [460]

Answer:

 4π cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc of a circle with radius r and central angle θ is given by ...

  s = rθ

where θ is in radians.

Here, your arc measures 60° = π/3 radians, so the arc length is ...

  s = (12 cm)(π/3) = 4π cm

Line segment AB is shown on a coordinate grid: A coordinate grid is shown from positive 6 to negative 6 on the x-axis and from p
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

A′B′ and AB are equal in length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the location of the points are at A(1, 3) and B(5, 3).

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.

Rigid transformation are transformation that preserves the shape and size when performed. Types of rigid transformation are reflection, rotation, translation.

Hence if AB is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form A′B′, both A′B′ and AB are equal in length because rotation is a rigid transformation.

If A(x,y) is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, it becomes A'(y,-x).

Hence if AB is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form A'(3, -1), B'(3, -5)

AB=\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(3-3)^2} =4\\\\A'B'=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-5-(-1))^2}=4,
