A UW Madison professor is interested in learning about the variance of grades for university students. The professor gathers the

sample variance for a random sample of 50 students. From past experience, the professor knows that the population of students is normally distributed. The sample variance that is collected is equal to 80. The professor would like to infer at the 1% significance level that the population variance is less than 100.
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis.
b. What is the correct test statistic?
c. What is the conclusion of the test?
d. What would be the effect if the professor increased the sample size?

Answer:

A) H0 : μ = 100  

   H1 :  μ < 100

B)  39.2

C)  We fail to reject null hypothesis

D) If the professor increases the sample size the value of the test statistic will increase .

Step-by-step explanation:

sample variance ( s ) = 80

sample size = 50

At ∝ = 0.01  population variance ( σ )   < 100

<u>a) Hypothesis </u>

H0 : μ = 100  ( Null hypothesis )

H1 :  μ < 100  ( Alternate hypothesis )

<u>b) Determine The correct test statistic </u>

x^2 = ( n-1 ) * s^2/σ^2

      = ( 49 ) * 80^2 / 100^2

      = 39.2

<u>C) Determine the conclusion of the test</u>

The P-value = 0.1596  ( calculated )

The conclusion of the test is that we fail to reject null hypothesis given that

P-value ( 0.1596 ) > ∝ ( 0.01 )  

D) If the professor increases the sample size the value of the test statistic will increase .

Answer:

12) y=3x-15

14) y=-1/2x

16) y=13x-105

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. So, we can make the equation (b is y-intercept of new equation):

12) y=3x+b

14) y=-1/2x+b

16) y=13x+b

now, we can plug in each of the coordinates given to these equations.

12) (4,-3): 4 is x, -3 is y.

       -3=3(4)+b

      simplify: b= -15

14) (-4,2): -4 is x, 2 is y

      2=-1/2(-4)+b

        simplify: b=0

16) (9,12): 9 is x, 12 is y

       12=13(9)+b

       simplify: b=-105

Now, plug in those numbers to your equation for b value.

12) y=3x-15

14) y=-1/2x

16) y=13x-105

*for 14 we don't need to write anything after -1/2x because b=0*

El precio de un ordenador portátil ha aumentado un 25% y posteriormente fue rebajado un cierto porcentaje.Calcule que porcentaje
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Se requiere un 20 por ciento de descuento.

Step-by-step explanation:

(This exercise has been presented in Spanish and for that reason explanation will be held in the same language)

Sea p_{o} el precio original del computador portatil, el nuevo precio es:

p_{1} =\left(\frac{100\,\% + 25\,\%}{100\,\%} \right)\cdot p_{o}

p_{1} = 1.25\cdot p_{o}

Si p_{2} = p_{o}, entonces el porcentaje requerido para recuperar el precio original es:

r = \left(1-\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}} \right)\times 100\,\%

r = \left(1-\frac{p_{o}}{1.25\cdot p_{o}} \right)\times 100\,\%

r = \left(1-\frac{1}{1.25} \right)\times 100\,\%

r = 20\,\%

Se requiere un 20 por ciento de descuento.

Find the amount of time. <br> 8. I = $2000, P = $5000, r = 8%
algol [13]

Answer:

t = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

I = $ 2000

P = $ 5000

r = 8%

I = P * \frac{r}{100}*t\\\\t =\frac{ I * 100}{P*r}\\\\t =\frac{2000*100}{5000*8}\\\\ = 5
