The standard deviation of math test scores at one high school is 16.1. A teacher claims that the standard deviation of the girls

' test scores is smaller than 16.1. A random sample of 22 girls results in scores with a standard deviation of 12.9. Use a significance level of 0.01 to test the teacher's claim.

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{22-1}{259.21} 166.41 =13.482

p_v =P(\chi^2

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=CHISQ.DIST(13.482,21,TRUE)"

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that p_v >\alpha so on this case we have enough evidence in order to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population deviation is not significantly lower than 16.1 at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and previous concepts

A chi-square test is "used to test if the variance of a population is equal to a specified value. This test can be either a two-sided test or a one-sided test. The two-sided version tests against the alternative that the true variance is either less than or greater than the specified value"

n=22 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.01 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =12.9^2=166.41 represent the sample variance obtained

\sigma^2_0 =16.1^2 =259.21 represent the value that we want to test

Null and alternative hypothesis

On this case we want to check if the population deviation is smaller than 16.1 (that's equivalent to check if the population variance is lower than 259.21:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 259.21

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

Calculate the statistic  

For this test we can use the following statistic:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And this statistic is distributed chi square with n-1 degrees of freedom. We have eveything to replace.

\chi^2 =\frac{22-1}{259.21} 166.41 =13.482

Calculate the p value

In order to calculate the p value we need to have in count the degrees of freedom , on this case 21. And since is a left tailed test the p value would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

In order to find the p value we can use the following code in excel:

"=CHISQ.DIST(13.482,21,TRUE)"

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level provided we see that p_v >\alpha so on this case we have enough evidence in order to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level provided. And that means that the population deviation is not significantly lower than 16.1 at 1% of significance.

Answer:

1.\ 12\ feet = 4\ yards

2.\ 4\ miles = 21120\ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12 feet = _____ yard

4 miles = ____ feet

To start with;

we need to understand the unit of conversion between the two measurements;

1. 12 feet = _____ yard

To convert from feet to yard;

1\ foot = \frac{1}{3} yard

This implies that;

12\ feet = 12 * \frac{1}{3} yard

12\ feet = \frac{12}{3} yard

12\ feet = 4\ yards

2. 4 miles = ____ feet

To convert from miles to feet;

1\ mile = 5280\ feet

This implies that;

4\ miles = 4 * 5280 feet

4\ miles = 21120\ feet

A school will offer pizza on Friday's if at least 30% of the students will buy it. A sample of 50 students asked if they would b
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.0614

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The school offers pizza on friday when at-least 30% students are willing to buy.

- The minimum required proportion of students, p = 30%

- A sample of n = 50 students were taken and out of the sample x = 10 people responded willing to buy pizza.

- We will denote a random variable X: the number of students willing to buy Pizza on fridays.

- For the sample of n = 50, for Pizza to be offered on friday the expected number of student who should opt for buying must be at-least:

           Expected ( Mean - u ) = n*p = 50*0.3 = 15 people.

- The standard deviation for the normal distribution can be determined as follows:

          standard deviation ( s ) = √n*p*(1-p)

                                                 = √50*0.3*(0.7)

                                                 = √10.5 = 3.2404

- We will assume that the random variable X follows normal distribution:

                       X ~ Norm ( 15 , 3.2404^2 )

- To determine the probability of sample of size n = 50 with proportion or lower. The number of people willing to buy pizza on friday as per survey are x = 10.

- Evaluate the standard normal ( Z-score ):

                      P ( X < x ) = P ( Z < ( x - u ) / s )

                      P ( X < 10 ) = P ( Z < ( 10 - 15 ) / 3.2404 )

                      P ( X < 10 ) = P ( Z < -1.54301 )

- Use the standard normal tables to determine the value of P ( Z < -1.54301 ):

                     P ( X < 10 ) = P ( Z < -1.54301 ) = 0.0614

Answer: The probability of getting a sample with the proportion or lower given a population with a proportion of .30 is 0.0614.
