The amount of time the husband and the wife spend on house work is measured for 15 women and their 15 husbands. For the wives th

e mean was 7 hours/week and for the husbands the mean was 4.5 hours/week. The standard deviation of the differences in time spent on house work was 2.85. What is the value of the test statistic for testing the difference in mean time spent on housework between husbands and wives

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is z = -0.877.

Step-by-step explanation:

Testing the difference in mean time spent on housework between husbands and wives.

At the null hypothesis, we test if there is no difference, that is, the subtraction of the means is 0:

H_0: \mu_H - \mu_W = 0

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, the subtraction of the means is different from 0.

H_1: \mu_H - \mu_W \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.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

For the wives the mean was 7 hours/week and for the husbands the mean was 4.5 hours/week. The standard deviation of the differences in time spent on house work was 2.85.

This means that X = 4.5 - 7 = -2.5, s = 2.85

What is the value of the test statistic for testing the difference in mean time spent on housework between husbands and wives?

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

z = \frac{-2.5 - 0}{2.85}

z = -0.877

The value of the test statistic is z = -0.877.

Examine the right triangle. A right triangle with side lengths 17 centimeters and 48 centimeters. The hypotenuse is unknown. Wha
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  c = \sqrt{2593}

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

right triangle

short leg = 17 cm

long leg = 48 cm

hypotenuse = ?

Process

-Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the answer

              c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a = short leg = 17 cm

b = long leg = 48 cm

- Substitution

             c² = 17² + 48²

-Simplification

             c² = 289 + 2304

             c² = 2593

-Result

             c = \sqrt{2593}

The distance between two cities is 180km. The distance was covered by a car at the rate of 50km/h, by a bus 45km/h, by a truck a
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The speed and time are directly proportional in that the higher the speed the lesser the time and vice versa.

The constant is the total distance which is 180 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The distance between the  two cities is 180km

1.The distance was covered by a car at the rate of 50km/h

The time taken will be

velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

time= 180/50

time= 3.6 hours

2.The distance was covered by a bus 45km/h

The time taken will be

velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

time= 180/45

time= 4 hours

3.The distance was covered by a bicycle at 25km/h

The time taken will be

velocity= distance/time

time= distance/velocity

time= 180/25

time= 7.2 hours

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

H_0:\mu =873\\\\H_a: \mu

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a study investigating a link between walking and improved​ health, researchers reported that adults walked an average of 873 minutes in the past month for the purpose of health or recreation.

Claim : The true average number of minutes in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 873 minutes.

i.e. \mu

We know that the null hypothesis contains equal sign , then the set of hypothesis for the given situation will be :-

H_0:\mu =873\\\\H_a: \mu
