A professor wants to know whether or not there is a difference in comprehension of a lab assignment among students depending on

if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations. She randomly divides her class into two groups of 15, gives one group instructions in text and the second group instructions with visual illustrations. The following data summarizes the scores the students received on a test given after the lab. Let the populations be normally distributed with a populations standard deviation of 5.32 points for both the text and visual illustrations.
Text (Group Visual Illustrations (Group 2) 57.3 59 45.3 57.6 87.1 72.9 61.2 83.2 43.1 64 87.3 76.7 75.2 78.2 88.2 64.4 67.5 89 86.2 72.9 67.2 88.2 54.4 43.8 93 97.1 89.2 95.1 52 84.1 Is there evidence to suggest that a difference exists in the comprehension of the lab based on the test scores? Use a=0.10. Enter the test statistic - round to 4 decimal places. Enter the P-Value - round to 4 decimal places. Can it be concluded that a difference exists in the comprehension of the lab based on the test scores?

Answer:

It is concluded that no difference exists in the comprehension of the lab based on the test scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Let the populations be normally distributed with a populations standard deviation of 5.32 points for both the text and visual illustrations.</u></em>

The above statement tells us that the independent t or two sample t test will be performed as both have equal variances and are normally distributed.

This can be easily done through excel.

The following table is obtained

     

t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances  

 

                <u>  Text                      Visual Illustrations</u>

Mean          70.28                       75.08

Variance 304.48                     228.58

Observations 15                             15

Pooled Variance Sp²= 266.53

       Pooled Standard Deviation = Sp = 16.33

Hypothesized Mean Difference = x1`-x2`= 0

df = n1+n2-2= 15+15-2= 30-2= 28

t Stat -0.805188239

<u>P(T<=t) two-tail 0.427495979                      </u>

<u>t Critical two-tail 1.701130908                              </u>

Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0 : u1-u2= 0   against the claim Ha: u1-u2≠0

There is no difference between the means

against the claim

that there is a difference in means of a lab assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations.

The significance level is ∝= 0.1

The d.f is n1+n2-2= 15+15-2= 30-2=28

This is a two tailed test and the critical region is t (0.025) (28) ≥ 1.7011 and  t (0.025) (28) ≤ - 1.7011.

The test statistic is

t= x1-x2/ Sp √1/n1+ 1/n2

t= 70.28 -75.08/ 16.33√1/15 +1/15

t= -4.8/5.963

t= -0.8049811  ( minute difference from excel result due to rounding)

Since the calculated value of t= -0.8049 does not fall in the critical region we conclude that there is no difference in means of a lab assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations.

We accept the null hypothesis.

The p- value is 0.427495979.

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 48 centimeters. If the triangle is dilated by a factor of 0.75, what is the length of
elena55 [62]
The length of each side is 28 cm. 
the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 48 cm. To find each side of the original triangle, you do 48/3=16cm. since the triangle dilate by 0.75, then you can just do 0.75*16=12cm. then you have to add 12 to 16 because the triangle gets bigger by 12 cm. so 16+12=28 cm.

Phillip watched a beach volleyball game from 1:45pm to 2:00pm.how many degrees did the minutes hand turn?
VikaD [51]
For this case, the first thing to do is to calculate the time you were watching the game.
 We have then:
 2:00 - 1:45 = 15 minutes
 Then, the amount of degrees is given by:
 (15/60) * (360) = 90 degrees
 Answer:
 
the minutes hand did turn about:
 
90 degrees

a regular hexagonal nut of side 1 cm and length 3 cm with a central hole of diameter 1 cm. 3 cm 1 cm 1 cm. Calculate the volume
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

  5.44 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the hexagonal nut can be found by multiplying the area of the end face by the length of the nut. The end face area is the difference between the area of the hexagon and the area of the hole.

The area of a hexagon with side length s is given by ...

  A = (3/2)√3·s²

For s=1 cm, the area is ...

  A = (3/2)√3(1 cm)² = (3/2)√3 cm²

__

The area of a circle is given by ...

  A = πr²

The radius of a circle with diameter 1 cm is 0.5 cm. Then the area of the hole is ...

  A = π(0.5 cm)² = 0.25π cm²

__

The volume is the face area multiplied by the length, so is ...

  V = Bh = ((3/2)√3 -0.25π)(3) . . . . . cm³

  V = (9/2)√3 -0.75π cm³ ≈ 5.44 cm³

The volume of the metal is about 5.44 cm³.
