A researcher would like to investigate whether or not there is a difference in IQ between Psychology and History majors. She gat

hers 16 students (8 whose major is Psychology, and 8 whose major is history) and has them all take an IQ test to test this hypothesis using an alpha level of .01. Below are the data: Psych History
110 90 120 98 100 100 90110 124 100 102 120 110 110 123 120

Answer:

Paired t test

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd > 0

Critical value = 3.499

Test statistic = 2.230

Reject H0 if test statistic > Critical value

Kindly check explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

110 90 120 98 100 100 90 110

124 100 102 120 110 110 123 120

The hypothesis :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd > 0

Tcritical value, df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

Tcritical(0.01, 7) = 3.499

The difference, d = (-14,-10,18,-22,-10,-10,-33,-10)

The test statistic :

Xdbar / Sd/√n

The mean difference, Xdbar = Σx / n = - 11.375

The standard deviation of difference, Sd = 14.431

The test statistic :

-11.375 / (14.431/√8) ;

-11.375 / 5.102

= 2.230

Decison :

Reject H0 if test statistic > Critical value

Since ; 2.230 <3.499 ;

We fail to reject the null

There are 4 different math courses, 5 different science courses, and 2 different history courses. If a student must take one of
rusak2 [61]

A student can take three subjects in 40 ways.

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given that, there are 4 different math courses, 5 different science courses, and 2 different history courses.

A student must take one of each, how many different ways can this be done?

Now, number ways to take math course = 4

Number of ways to take science course = 5  

Number of ways to take history course = 2

So, now, total possible ways = product of possible ways for each course = 4 x 5 x 2 = 40 ways.

Hence, a student can take three subjects in 40 ways.

Find f(-2) for the following function. <br><br>f(x)=3.6x-2​
butalik [34]

Answer:

f(- 2) = - 9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x) , that is

f(- 2) = 3.6(- 2) - 2 = - 7.2 - 2 = - 9.2

I need help on B and C. Not sure how I can solve those. Can someone please help me out here? Thank you for your help!
Valentin [98]

Nice job with part A on getting those correct answers.

====================================================

Part B

  • mu = mean = 43
  • sigma = standard deviation = 3

Let's calculate the z score for the raw score x = 37

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (37 - 43)/3

z = -6/3

z = -2

A negative z score tells us we're below the mean. Specifically, we are exactly 2 standard deviations under the mean.

If you repeat those steps for x = 46 (not changing mu or sigma), then you should get z = 1. So we're now 1 standard deviation above the mean.

Ultimately, we want to know the area under the standard normal curve (aka z curve) from z = -2 to z = 1.

Refer to the chart below which is a breakdown of the Empirical Rule. The pink areas are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. We have two regions taking up roughly 34% of the full area under the curve, so they combine to 34+34 = 68%

Then we add on another 13.5% which is the blue area on the left (between z = -2 and z = -1)

So 13.5+68 = 81.5% of the area under the curve is between z = -2 and z = 1.

<h3>Answer: 81.5</h3>

Note: the percent sign is already taken care of for us, so there's no need to type it in. But the answer above of course means 81.5% and that answer is approximate.

====================================================

Part C

Let's find the z score for x = 34. The values of mu and sigma are the same as before.

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (34-43)/3

z = -9/3

z = -3

So computing P(X > 34) is the same as P(Z > -3)

Notice how adding up all of the values in the chart mentioned gets us:

2.35+13.5+34+34+13.5+2.35 = 99.7

which means 99.7% of the distribution is within 3 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 100% - 99.7% = 0.3% is the combined area of both tails. So each tail is (0.3%)/2 = 0.15%

In short, 0.15% of the area under the curve is to the left of z = -3

Therefore, 100% - 0.15% = 99.85% of the widgets are going to have z values larger than -3, which in turn means they have values larger than 34.

<h3>Answer: 99.85</h3>

Again you don't have to worry about the percent sign. Like before, the answer is approximate.
