Two different weight loss programs are being compared to determine their effectiveness. Ten men were assigned to each program (t

hat is, a total of 20 men altogether). Their weight losses (in lbs), after a period of time, are recorded below. We are interested in determining which, if any, of the diets is more effective in terms of average weight loss. Assume weight loss for each diet to be normally distributed.
Diet 1 3.4 10.9 2.8 7.8 0.9 5.2 2.5 10.5 7.1 7.5
Diet 2 11.9 13.1 11.6 6.8 6.8 8.8 12.5 8.6 17.5 10.3
Carry out an appropriate test using a significance level of 0.10.

Answer:

WE reject the Null and conclude that one of the drug is more effective than the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Diet 1 3.4 10.9 2.8 7.8 0.9 5.2 2.5 10.5 7.1 7.5

Diet 2 11.9 13.1 11.6 6.8 6.8 8.8 12.5 8.6 17.5 10.3

This is a matched pair sample :

The hypothesis :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd ≠ 0

Hence, we intun the difference between the two groups of value :

Difference, d = -8.9,-2.2,-8.8,1,-5.9,-3.6,-10,1.9,-10.4,-2.8

The test statistic :

dbar ÷ (Sd/√n)

dbar = mean of difference = Σd / n = - 49.7 / 10 = - 4.97

Standard deviation of difference, Sd = 4.51

Test statistic :

-4.97 ÷ (4.51/√10)

Test statistic = - 3.485

The sample size, n = 10

df = n - 1 ; 10 - 1 = 9

Critical value (0.10, 9) = 1.833

If Test statistic > |Critical value |

Since 3.486 > 1.833 ; WE reject the Null and conclude that one of the drug is more effective than the other

ruslelena [56]

If Jackson went to the movies and payed $7 initially for his ticket and then payed $2 for each box of candy that he buys, then the equation could look like this: y = 2x + 7, where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of boxes of candy Jackson buys.

What is the distance between (−5,−4) and (-6,4)?
Helga [31]

The distance formula is:  d  =  sqrt( (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 )

 

For this problem, let (-5, -4) be the "first" point, so  x1 = -5  and  y2 = -4

                      and let (-6, 4) be the "second" point, so  x2 = -6  and  y2 = 4.

 

Then:  d  =  sqrt( (-6 - -5)2 + (4 - -4)2 )  =  sqrt( (-1)2 + (8)2 )  =  sqrt( 1 + 64 )  =  sqrt( 65)

 

The distance formula is just the Pythagorean Theorem applied to an x-y graph.

 

You would get the same final answer if you let (-5, -4) be the second point and (-6, 4) be the first point.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

-2. 46

- 9.54

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 2x²+12x-7=0
  • 2x²+12x+18= 25
  • 2*(x²+6x+9)=25
  • 2*(x+6)²= 5²
  • x+6= 5√2/2 ⇒ x= 5√2/2 -6 ≈ -2. 46
  • x+6= -5√2/2 ⇒ x= -5√2/2 -6 ≈ - 9.54
