You are testing the claim that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mean GPA of day students. You sample 30 nigh

t students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.35 with a standard deviation of 0.46. You sample 25 day students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.58 with a standard deviation of 0.47. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance. Assume the sample standard deviations are unequal and that GPAs are normally distributed. Give answer to exactly 4 decimal places.Hypotheses:sub(H,0):sub(μ,1) = sub(μ,2)sub(H,1):sub(μ,1) ≠ sub(μ,2)**I'm not sure how to calculate this in excel***Enter the test statistic - round to 4 decimal places.A=Enter the p-value - round to 4 decimal places.A=

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean GPA of night students and μ2 be the mean GPA of day students.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean GPA of night students and the mean GPA of day students.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

This is a two tailed test.

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

μ1 = 2.35

μ2 = 2.58

s1 = 0.46

s2 = 0.47

n1 = 30

n2 = 25

t = (2.35 - 2.58)/√(0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25)

t = - 1.8246

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25]²/[(1/30 - 1)(0.46²/30)² + (1/25 - 1)(0.47²/25)²] = 0.00025247091/0.00000496862

df = 51

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.0746

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.0746, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(Q6) Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base. y= -4.8·4^x
topjm [15]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation takes the form  y=a*b^x  where

  1. a is the initial value ( a ≠ 0), and
  2. b is the base ( b ≠ 1)

The equation given in the problem can be written as  y=-4.8*4^x, so it is <em>an exponential equation, </em>  where a = -4.8 and b = 4.

Thus we can say that the initial value = -4.8 and the base is 4

The correct answer is  D

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Application of Equations</u>

There is virtually no limit to the possible situations where equations can help to find the solution of specific problems related to areas like economy, where one could need to establish some important indicators about the business.

B. The fixed cost for Abstract Office Supplies to sell a new computer desk is $14,000. Each desk will cost $150 to produce. The cost function to produce X desks is

C(x)=150x+14,000

A. The revenue for each desk is estimated at $500, for X desks will be

R(x)=500x

C. The company will break even when the cost and the revenue are the same. We'll find how many desks need to be sold for that to happen. We equate

C(x)=R(x)

Or equivalently

150x+14,000=500x

Rearranging

500x-150x=14,000

350x=14,000

Solving for x

x=14,000/350= 40

The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even
