Two college instructors are interested in whether or not there is any variation in the way they grade math exams. They each grad

e the same set of 10 exams. The first instructor's grades have a variance of 58.9. The second instructor's grades have a variance of 84.8. Test the claim that the first instructor's variance is smaller. (In most colleges, it is desirable for the variances of exam grades to be nearly the same among instructors.) The level of significance is 10%. (Recall: that the larger of the 2 variances needs to be in the numerator as the test is 1-tailed to the right)

Answer:

Since the calculated value of F = 1.4397 is less than the critical value of

F (9,9)= 2.4403 we conclude that the  first instructor's variance is smaller and reject H0.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Formulate the hypothesis that first variance is equal or greater than the second variance

H0: σ₁²≥σ₂²  against the claim  that the first instructor's variance is smaller

 Ha: σ₁²< σ₂²

2) Test Statistic F= s₂²/s₁²

F= 84.8/ 58.9=  1.4397

3)Degrees of Freedom = n1-1= 10-1= 9  and n2 = 10-1= 9

4)Critical value   at 10 % significance level= F(9,9)= 2.4403

5)Since the calculated value of F = 1.4397 is less than the critical value of

F (9,9)= 2.4403 we conclude that the  first instructor's variance is smaller and reject H0.

Courtney is ordering nachos at a restaurant, and the server tells her that she can have up to three toppings: pico de gallo, oni
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Toppings: Pico de gallo, Onions and Steak

Required

The probability of getting Onions and Steak

The probability is calculated using:

Probability = P(Onion)\ and\ P(Steak) --- because the events are independent

P(Onion) = \frac{n(Onion)}{Total}

P(Onion) = \frac{1}{3}

P(Steak) = \frac{n(Steak)}{Total}

P(Steak) = \frac{1}{3}

So, we have:

Probability = P(Onion)\ and\ P(Steak)

Probability = P(Onion)\ *\ P(Steak)

Probability = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3}

Probability = \frac{1}{9}

One number exceeds another by 5 the sum of the numbers is 37 . What are the numbers
Eduardwww [97]
One number = x
Another number = y

x = y + 5
x + y = 37

(y + 5) + y = 37
2y + 5 = 37
2y = 32
y = 16

x = (16) + 5
x = 21

The numbers are 16 and 21.

Triangle abc is such that ab=4 and ac=8 if m is the midpoint of bc and am=3, what is the length of bc?
zavuch27 [327]
This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
  AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
  AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
  AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²

We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
  8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
  124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
  2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355

Pleaseee help
natulia [17]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

All computer simulations are designed to test a large number of different scenarios with various sets of data in order to understand each output that certain data generates and ultimately find the best solution. This is the overall main reason why simulations are created. The same applies in this scenario, this simulation will be used to test hypotheses about patterns in the job placement process that are costly or time-consuming to observe in reality. If such tests had to be conducted by actual people it would take months, years, or even decades to generate and analyze all the data.
