Statistics can help decide the authorship of literary works. Sonnets by a certain Elizabethan poet are known to contain an avera

ge of new words (words not used in the poet's other works). The standard deviation of the number of new words is . Now a manuscript with 6 new sonnets has come to light, and scholars are debating whether it is the poet's work. The new sonnets contain an average of words not used in the poet's known works. We expect poems by another author to contain more new words, so to see if we have evidence that the new sonnets are not by our poet we test the following hypotheses.

Complete question is;

Statistics can help decide the authorship of literary works. Sonnets by a certain Elizabethan poet are known to contain an average of 8.88 new words (words not used in the poet's other works). The standard deviation of the number of new words is 3. Now a manuscript with 6 new sonnets has come to light, and scholars are debating whether it is the poet's work. The new sonnets contain an average of 12.4 words not used in the poet's known works. We expect poems by another author to contain more new words, so to see if we have evidence that the new sonnets are not by our poet we test the following hypotheses.

H0 : µ = 8.88 vs Ha : µ > 8.88

Give the z test statistic and its P-value. What do you conclude about the authorship of the new poems? (Let a = .05.)

Use 2 decimal places for the z-score and 4 for the p-value.

a.What is z ?

b.The p-value is greater than ?

c. What is the conclusion? A)The sonnets were written by another poet or b) There is not enough evidence to reject the null.

Answer:

a) z = 2.87

b) P-value ≈ 0.0021

c) The sonnets were written by another poet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the hypothesis as;

Null hypothesis; H0 : µ = 8.88

Alternative hypothesis; Ha : µ > 8.88

We are also given;

Sample size; n = 6

Population Standard deviation; σ = 3

Sample mean; x¯ = 12.4

a) formula for z - value is;

z = (x¯ - µ)/(σ/√n)

z = (12.4 - 8.88)/(3/√6)

z = 2.87

b) we are given the significance value as α = 0.05.

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached and using z = 2.87; one tail distribution; α = 0.05, we have;

P-value = 0.002052

Approximating to 4 decimal places;

P-value ≈ 0.0021

c) The p-value is less than the significance level, thus we react the null hypothesis and conclude that the sonnets were written by another poet

The solution is the point of intersection between the two equations.

Assuming you have a graphing calculator or a program to lets you graph equations (I use desmos) you simply put in the equetions and note down the coordinates of the point of intersection.

In the graph the first equation is in blue and the second in red.

The point of intersection = the solution = (-6 , -1)



If you dont have access to a graphing calculator you could draw the graphs by hand;

1) Draw a table of values for each equation; you do this by setting three or four values for x and calculating its image in y (you can use any values of x)

y = 0.5 x + 2 (Im writing 0.5 instead of 1/2 because I find its easier in this format)

x | y
-1 | 1.5 * y = 0.5 (-1) + 2 = 1.5
0 | 2 * y = 0.5 (0) + 2 = 2
1 | 2.5 * y = 0.5 (1) + 2 = 2.5
2 | 3 * y = 0.5 (2) + 2 = 3

y = x + 5

x | y
-1 | 4 * y = (-1) + 5 = 4
0 | 5 * y = (0) + 5 = 5
1 | 6 * y = (1) + 5 = 6
2 | 7 * y = (2) + 5 = 7

2) Plot these point on the graph
I suggest to use diffrent colored points or diffrent kinds of point markers (an x or a dot) to avoid confusion about which point belongs to which graph

3) Using a ruler draw a line connection all the dots of one graph and do the same for the other

4) The point of intersection is the solution
