Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0041 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean cost has increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $13,252. Test if the mean cost has increased.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean cost is still the same, that is:

H_0: \mu = 13252

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean cost has increased, that is:

H_1: \mu > 13252

The test statistic is:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

13252 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 13252

The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $15,560 and a standard deviation of $3500.

This means that n = 20, X = 15560, s = 3500

Value of the test statistic:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{15560 - 13252}{\frac{3500}{\sqrt{20}}}

t = 2.95

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is found using a t-score calculator, with a right-tailed test, with 20-1 = 19 degrees of freedom and t = 2.95. Thus, the p-value of the test is 0.0041.

The p-value of the test is 0.0041 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean cost has increased.

The base of an isosceles triangle is 2 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is 10 cm.
cluponka [151]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings!

Let's~solve~your~question!

To~find~the~length~of~equal~sides~of~an~isosceles~triangle,~we~use~the~following\\formula.

\boxed{~P=2a+b~}

Now,~solving~for~``a":

P=\frac{P}{2} -\frac{b}{2}

=\frac{10}{2}-\frac{2}{2}

=5-1

=4

Thus,~each~equal~sides~of~an~isosceles~triangle~is~4cm.

Hope~my~answer~helps~and~have~a~blessed~day~ahead!

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio, si avanza medio kilómetro en bus y lo demás a pie ¿
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Al estudiante le falta caminar \frac{1}{3} de kilómetro.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio. Dos tercios equivale a la fracción \frac{2}{3} .

El estudiante avanza medio kilómetro en bus. Un medio equivale a la fracción \frac{1}{2}, por lo tanto un medio es la mitad de una cantidad.  Para calcular la distancia recorrida en bus se realiza la siguiente multiplicación:

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3}

Resolviendo:

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1*2}{2*3} =\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}

Entonces, la distancia recorrida en bus es \frac{1}{3} de kilómetro.

Para calcular la distancia recorrida a pie se calcula la diferencia entre la distancia total a recorrer por el estudiante y la distancia recorrida en bus. Esto es:

\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Resolviendo:

\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2-1}{3} =\frac{1}{3}

<u><em>Al estudiante le falta caminar </em></u>\frac{1}{3}<u><em> de kilómetro.</em></u>
