Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and the alternative hypothesis is:

H_o: \mu_c \ge \mu_{us}

H_a : \mu_c < \mu_{us}

The t- student test statistics can be computed as:

t = \dfrac{x_c- x_{us}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_c^2}{n_c} + \dfrac{\sigma_{us}^2}{n_{us}} }}

t = \dfrac{19- 21}{\sqrt{\dfrac{7^2}{100} + \dfrac{8^2}{130} }}

t = -2.017  

degree of freedom = (n₁ - 1) + (n₂ - 1)  

= (100 - 1) + (130 - 1)

= 228

Using the data of t-value and degree of freedom;  

The P-value = -0.224

Decision rule: Do not reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is greater than ∝(0.01)

Conclusion: We reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is less than ∝.

Therefore, there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean age of entering prostitution in Canada is lower than that of the United States.

Explain how the number line can
DochEvi [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.

Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...

  -1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75
