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.

Andrew is flying a kite held by 175 meters of string that makes an angle of elevation with the ground of 40. Emma is standing di
Alja [10]

Answer:

x=134.05m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Slant Height of Kite h_s=175

Angle \theta=40 \textdegree

Since Emma,The Kite and Andrew forms a right angle triangle

Generally the equation for distance between Andrew from Emma is mathematically given by

 x=h_scos\theta

 x=175cos40

 x=134.05m

The triangle area is 90ft^2 and the height is 10 what's the base
Sidana [21]
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Let the base be "b"

90 = 1/2 x 10 x b
90 = 5b
b = 18 ft

Base = 18 ft

Mark gets picked up by the bus at 7:40 he arrives at school at 8:10 how long does it take to get to school
Elodia [21]
You could do this in two ways, you could either subtract immediately or convert the time given in hours into minutes
STEP 1:
8:10
- 7:40
which will give 0:30
STEP 2:
8 hours 10 minutes into minutes is
(8 * 60) +10 = 490 minutes
7 hours 40 minutes into minutes is
(7*40) + 40 = 460 minutes
490 - 460
= 30minutes
