A researcher claims that the variation in the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the variation in the salari

es of secondary school teachers (the claim). A random sample of 30 elementary school teachers has a variance of $ 8324, and a random sample of 30 secondary school teachers has a variance of $2862. At α= 0.05, can the researcher conclude that the variation in the elementary school teachers' Salaries is greater than the variation in the secondary teachers' salaries? Use the P-value method.
Assume that all variables are normally distributed.

a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value.
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2

The alternative hypothesis is H_a :  \sigma_1 ^2 > \sigma^2_2

b

F_{critical} = 1.8608

c

F = 2.9085

d

    The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis

e

There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The first sample size is  n_1 = 30

 The sample variance for elementary school is  s^2_1 = 8324

 The second sample size is  n_2 = 30

  The sample variance for the secondary school is  s^2_2 = 2862

   The significance level is  \alpha = 0.05

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2

The alternative hypothesis is H_a :  \sigma_1 ^2 > \sigma^2_2

Generally from the F statistics table  the critical value of \alpha = 0.05 at first and  second degree of freedom df_1 = n_1 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29 and  df_2 = n_2 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29 is  

         F_{critical} = 1.8608

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       F = \frac{s_1^2 }{s_2^2}

=>   F = \frac{8324 }{2862}

=>   F = 2.9085

Generally from the value obtained we see that  F >  F_{critical } Hence

   The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis

    The conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim

-x=-y+2 and 3y+4=2x solve using matrices
MissTica

\begin{cases}-x=-y+2\\3y+4=2x\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}x-y=-2\\2x-3y=4\end{cases}

In matrix form, this is

\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2\\4\end{bmatrix}

The coefficient matrix has determinant

\begin{vmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{vmatrix}=-3+2=-1\neq0

so it has an inverse, which is

\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}

Multiply both sides by the inverse matrix:

\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-2\\4\end{bmatrix}

\implies\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-10\\-8\end{bmatrix}

so that x=-10 and y=-8.

A researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the growth of a certain bacteria. He starts his exper
steposvetlana [31]

The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.

Given that he starts his experiment with 500 bacteria, hence

a = 500

The bacteria grow at a rate of 16% per hour, hence:

b = 100% + 16% = 1.16

The exponential equation becomes:

y = 500(1.16)ˣ

After 8 hours:

y = 500(1.16)⁸ = 1639

The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.

First step is find profit so lets subtract 93 and 15.
93-15=78
Finally we can divide profit by 3 students, so
