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.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

C. 666

Step-by-step explanation:

USING PEMDAS we can solve this problem.

675-(15-12)^3 / 3\\15-12=3\\675-(3)^3/3\\675-27/3\\675-9=666

There are 340 freshman at BHSS. This is one hundred less than two times the number of sophomores. Find the number of sophomores
natta225 [31]
To put it into an equation, it would be:

340 = 2x - 100

with x being the amount of sophomores at BHSS.

Solve it:

340 + 100 = 2x

2x = 440

x = 220

The number of sophomores at BHSS is 220.

Angles L and M are supplementary. What is the sum of their measures? The sum of the measures of angles L and M is
Reil [10]
Supplementary angles will always add up to 180. If you had a straight line, and you drew another line across that line, the two angles on either side of that line would add up to 180 because a flat line is equal to 180 degrees.

I would say 7/24 because when you multiply it you should be able to get a large number.
