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.

How many parallel sides can a triangl have
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!!

A triangle has <u>NO</u> parrallel lines. It cannot. Think of a triangle. IF it had a parralell line(s), it would not have 3 sides.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a polygon which is part of the criteria for a triangle.

Hope this helps!

:D

Perimeter =68 Length (L) is 4 less than twice the width (W)
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Length = 21.3333333333;   Width: 12.6666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 68

Perimeter of a rectangle:

2 (L +W)

Length (L) = 2W - 4

Width = W

2 ( 2W -4 +W) = 68

=> 2 (3W - 4) = 68

=> 6w -8 = 68

=> 6w = 76

=> w = 12.6666666667

Length = (12.6666666667 X 2) - 4

=> 21.3333333333

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

C Population

Step-by-step explanation:

Population

The above case is an example of population survey. Here a set of 56 surveys have been performed with set of 56 students. The survey is conducted on a large scale. In statistics a population is set of similar items or events which is of the interest for some event or experiment. Since, the above experiment fits the definition of the Population, it is example of population survey.

malfutka [58]

<u>Complete Question</u>

The usher at a wedding asked each of the 80 guests whether they were a friend of the bride or of the groom. The results are: 59 for Bride, 50 for Groom, 30 for both. Find the probability that a randomly selected person from this sample was a friend of the bride OR of the groom.

Answer:

0.9875

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Guests, n(S)=80

Let the Event (a friend of the bride) =B

Let the Event (a friend of the groom) =G

n(B) =59

n(G)=50

n(B \cap G)=30

Therefore:

n(B \cup G)=n(B)+n(G)-n(B \cap G)\\n(B \cup G)=59+50-30\\n(B \cup G)=79

Number of Guests who was a friend of the bride OR of the groom = 79

Therefore:

The probability that a randomly selected person from this sample was a friend of the bride OR of the groom.

P(B \cup G) =\dfrac{n(B \cup G) }{n(S)} \\\\=\dfrac{79 }{80}\\\\=0.9875
