Answer:

The value of k=1

So, Maura claim is incorrect. The value of k=1 and not k=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the value of k if $2^4=16^k$

We are given:

$2^4=16^k$

Exponent rule, if bases are equal the exponents are equal

We can write $16= 2^4$

$2^4=(2^4)^k\\2^4=2^{4k}$

Now since the base is same, i,e 2 so, the exponents will be same

$4=4k\\k=1$

So, the value of k=1

So, Maura claim is incorrect. The value of k=1 and not k=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To study the threshold of hering the researcher took a random sample of 80 male college freshmen.

The students underwent an audiometry test where a tome was played and they had to press a button when they detected it. The researcher recorded the lowest stimulus level at which the tone was detected obtaining a sample mean of X[bar]= 22.2 dB and a standard deviation of S= 2.1 dB

To estimate the population mean, since we don't have information about the variable distribution but the sample size is greater than 30, you can use the approximation of the standard normal distribution:

X[bar] ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }$
