Answer:

a)

|z| < 2.054: Do not reject the null hypothesis.

|z| > 2.054: Reject the null hypothesis.

b) z = 2.81

c) Reject.

d) The p-value is 0.005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and the subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Population 1:

Sample of 42, standard deviation of 3.3, mean of 101, so:

\mu_1 = 101

s_1 = \frac{3.3}{\sqrt{42}} = 0.51

Population 2:

Sample of 53, standard deviation of 3.6, mean of 99, so:

\mu_2 = 99

s_2 = \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{53}} = 0.495

H0 : μ1 = μ2

Can also be written as:

H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2

Can also be written as:

H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error .

a. State the decision rule.

0.04 significance level.

Two-tailed test(test if the means are different), so between the 0 + (4/2) = 2nd and the 100 - (4/2) = 98th percentile of the z-distribution, and looking at the z-table, we get that:

|z| < 2.054: Do not reject the null hypothesis.

|z| > 2.054: Reject the null hypothesis.

b. Compute the value of the test statistic.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

From the samples:

X = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 101 - 99 = 2

s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.51^2 + 0.495^2} = 0.71

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{2 - 0}{0.71}

z = 2.81

c. What is your decision regarding H0?

|z| = 2.81 > 2.054, which means that the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

d. What is the p-value?

Probability that the means differ by at least 2, either plus or minus, which is P(|z| > 2.81), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -2.81.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.81 has a p-value of 0.0025.

2*0.0025 = 0.005

The p-value is 0.005.

Assuming they work until their cost become the same, obviously.

The difference between the first charge of painter A and painter B = 376 - 280 = 96.

The hourly cost difference between painter B and painter A = 15 - 12 = 3.

So, painter A in the first hour has 96 more dollars than painter B, and as every hour pass, the difference goes down by 3 (as painter B gets 3 more dollars every hour)

Therefore, it would take 96 : 3 = 32 hours for the cost to be the same

Recheck : After 32 hours, painter A has 376 + 32 x 12 = 760 (dollars)
painter B has : 280 + 15 x 32 = 760 (dollars)

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute x = -2 into y = (2/3)^x

=> y = (2/3)^-2

=> y = 9/4 = 2.25

George is given two circles, circle O and circle X 1 as shown. If he wants to prove that the two circles are similar, what would
salantis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius of circle O is r, and the radius of circle X is r'.

To prove: Circle O is similar to circle X.

Proof: Move the center of the smaller circle onto the center of the largest circle. Translate the circle X by the vector XA onto circle O. The circles now have the same center.

A dilation is needed to increase the size of circle X to coincide with the circle O. A value which when multiplied by r' will create r.

The scale factor x to increase X:

⇒

A translation followed by a dilation with scale factor  will map one circle to the other, thus proving the given both circles similar.

Therefore, circle O is similar to circle X.
