A study9 compared personality characteristics between adult children of alcoholics and a control group matched on age and gender

. For the 29 pairs of women, the authors reported a mean of 24.8 on the well-being measure for the children of alcoholics, and a mean of 29.0 for the control group. They reported t = 2.67 for the test comparing the means. Assuming that this is the result of a dependent-samples analysis, identify the df for the t test statistic, report the P-value, and interpret.

Answer:

df.= 28

P - value = 0.0124 < 0.05

There is a difference between the mean of the well-being measure for the children of alcoholics, and a mean of the control group.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given test is dependent or paired test the degrees of freedom is n-1 = 20-1 = 28

The reported t = 2.67

The P value for ∝= 0.05 at calculated t= 2.67 and 28 d.f is 0.0124 which is less than 0.05 .

The null hypothesis is rejected.

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the means of the two samples.

H0: u1 = u2

The alternate hypotheis is accepted that there is difference between the means of the two samples.

Ha: u1≠ u2

There is a difference between the mean of the well-being measure for the children of alcoholics, and a mean of the control group.

Which of the following is the same as 1.207 x 107?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. Or the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply something by a power of ten the decimal moves either left or right by the exponent. That probably sounds really confusing but here are some examples. If you multiply a number by 10^4 the decimal will move right 4 places making the number larger. Meanwhile if you multiplied it by 10^-4 it will move to the left 4 places making the number smaller. In your case, when you multiply 1.207 by 10^7, the decimal moves places to the right which makes it 12,070,000

Here is a system of equations:

laila [671]

Answer:

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7x+3y) - (-7x +10y) =-65 -(-135)

-7x + 3y + 7x -10y = 70

-7y = 70

y = -10

Select all of the points that are solutions to the system of linear inequalities that is listed below 10x + 4y < 12 8x -3y &g

liberstina [14]

Answer:

(3, -8) and (2, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$10x + 4y < 12$

$8x - 3y > 20$

Required

Select the true coordinate points in (3, -8) (2, 5) (-5, 1) (10, 3) (2, -10)

(3, -8)

x = 3 and y = -8

$10x + 4y < 12$

$10 * 3 + 4 * -8 < 12$

$30 - 32 < 12$

$-2 < 12$ --- True

$8x - 3y > 20$

$8 * 3 - 3 * -8> 20$

$24 +24> 20$

$48> 20$ --- True

(2, 5)

x = 2 and y = 5

$10x + 4y < 12$

$10 * 2 + 4 * 5 < 12$

$20 + 20 < 12$

$40 < 12$ --- False (No need to check the other inequality)

(-5, 1)

x = -5 and y = 1

$10x + 4y < 12$

$10 * -5 + 4 * 1 < 12$

$-46 < 12$ --- True

$8x - 3y > 20$

$8 * -5 - 3 * 1 > 20$

$-43 > 20$ --- False

(10, 3)

x = 10 and y = 3

$10x + 4y < 12$

$10 * 10 + 4 * 3 < 12$

$112 < 12$ --- False (No need to check the other inequality)

(2, -10)

x = 2 and y = -10

$10x + 4y < 12$

$10 * 2 + 4 * -10 < 12$

$-20 < 12$ --- True

$8x - 3y > 20$

$8 * 2 - 3 * -10 > 20$

$46 > 20$ --- True

Hence, the solution to the inequalities are:

(3, -8) and (2, -10)

The area of the shaded segment is 100cm^2. Calculate the value of r.

Reil [10]

Hello,

The formula for finding the area of a circular region is: $A= \frac{ \alpha *r^{2} }{2}$

then:
$A_{1} = \frac{80*r^{2} }{2}$

With the two radius it is formed an isosceles triangle, so, we must obtain its area, but first we obtain the height and the base.

$cos(40)= \frac{h}{r} \\ \\ h= r*cos(40)\\ \\ \\ sen(40)= \frac{b}{r} \\ \\ b=r*sen(40)$

Now we can find its area:
$A_{2}=2* \frac{b*h}{2} \\ \\ A_{2}= [r*sen(40)][r*cos(40)]\\ \\A_{2}= r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40)$

The subtraction of the two areas is 100cm^2, then:

$A_{1}-A_{2}=100cm^{2} \\ (40*r^{2})-(r^{2}*sen(40)*cos(40) )=100cm^{2} \\ 39.51r^{2}=100cm^{2} \\ r^{2}=2.53cm^{2} \\ r=1.59cm$

Answer: r= 1.59cm
