Researchers interviewed street prostitutes in Canada and the United States. The mean age of the 100 Canadian prostitutes upon en

tering prostitution was 19 with a standard deviation of seven. The mean age of the 130 United States prostitutes upon entering prostitution was 21 with a standard deviation of eight. Is the mean age of entering prostitution in Canada lower than the mean age in the United States

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

H_o: \mu_{c} \ge \mu_{us}

H_a: \mu_{c} < \mu_{us}

The t- student test statistics can be computed as:

t = \dfrac{ x_c - x_{us} }{\sqrt { \dfrac{\sigma_c^2}{n_c} + \dfrac{\sigma_{us} ^2}{n_{us}} } }

t = \dfrac{ 19 - 21 }{\sqrt { \dfrac{7^2}{100} + \dfrac{8^2}{130} } }

t = -2.017

degree of freedom = (n₁-1)+(n₂-1)

= (100-1) + (130-1)

= 228

At t = -2.017 and 228 df

P-value = -0.224

Decision rule: Not to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is greater than ∝(0.01)

Conclusion: We reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is less than ∝.

Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age of entering prostitution in Canada is lower than that of the United states.

A density graph for all of the possible times from 50 seconds to 300 seconds
vazorg [7]

Answer: D. The probability of a time from 75 seconds to 250 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a density curve graph for all of the possible values  from a  to b can be used to find the the probability of the values from a to b .

Given: A density graph for all of the possible times from 50 seconds to 300 seconds.

Then it can be used to find the the probability of a time in the range from 50 seconds to 300 seconds.

From all the given option only option D gives the interval which is lies in the above range.

i.e A density graph for all of the possible times from 50 seconds to 300 seconds can be used to determine the probability of a time from 75 seconds to 250 seconds.

Joe is taking out a five year loan with a 7% interest rate compounded quarterly to buy a $4000 car. What will he have paid in to
Sergio [31]

Answer:

$5659.11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Time of loan maturity is 5 years
  • Rate of compound interest is 7% compounded quarterly
  • Principal amount of the car is $4000

We are required to determine the total amount he paid at the end of 5 years..

The concept being tested is compound interest;

We are going to use the compound interest formula;

Amount = P(1+r/100)^n

Where P is the the principal amount

r is the rate of interest

n is the interest periods

In this case;

n = (5 × 4) = 20

r = 7 ÷ 4 = 1.75 ( as the money was compounded quarterly)

Thus;

Amount =$ 4000 ( 1 + 1.75)^20

            = $4000 (1.0175)^20

            = $5659.11

Therefore, the money that Joe will have paid at the end of 5 years is $5659.11
