A field researcher is gathering data on the trunk diameters of mature pine and spruce trees in a certain area. The following are

the results of his random sampling: Pine Trees Spruce Trees Sample Size 40 80 Mean trunk diameter (cm) 35 30 Population variance 160 160 Using a .10 significance level, can he conclude that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree

Answer:

As the pvalue of the test is 0.02097 < 0.1, using a .10 significance level, he can conclude that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a .10 significance level, can he conclude that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree

The null hypothesis is that they are equal(that is, subtraction between the means is 0), while the alternate hypothesis is that they are greater(that is, subtraction between the means is larger than 0). So

H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0

H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0

In which \mu_1 is the mean pine trees height while \mu_2 is the mean spruce trees height.

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

Mean trunk diameter (cm) 35 30:

Pine trees - 35

Spruce trees - 30

The sample mean is given by the subtraction of the means. So

X = 35 - 30 = 5

Sample Size 40 80

Population variance 160 160

This means that the standard error for each sample is given by:

s_1 = \frac{\sqrt{160}}{\sqrt{40}} = 2

s_1 = \frac{\sqrt{160}}{\sqrt{80}} = \sqrt{2}

The standard error of the difference is the square root of the sum squared of the standard error of each sample.

s = \sqrt{2^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{6} = 2.4495

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{5 - 0}{2.4495}

z = 2.04

Pvalue of the test:

Probability of a sample mean larger than 5, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.04 has a pvalue of 0.9793.

1 - 0.9793 = 0.0207

As the pvalue of the test is 0.02097 < 0.1, using a .10 significance level, he can conclude that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree.

7.Find the lengths of the missing sides in the triangle. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form. Th
Fed [463]

Here a right angled triangle given. one angle with measure 45^o given. The three sides of the triangle given 4, x, y.

We have to find, the sides which is opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse here.

We know that the side opposite to right angle is always hypotenuse. So, hypotenuyse = y.

The side adjacent to the given angle 45^o is x. So, here adjacent = x.

The opposite side is opposite to the given angle. So, opposite = 4.

Now we will use SOHCAHTOA that is sin(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} , cos(x) =\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} , tan(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}, where x is the angle given.

To get x, we will use tan. So we will get,

tan(45^o) = \frac{4}{x}

We know the value of tan(45^o) = 1. By substituting the value we will get,

1 =\frac{4}{x}

To find x, we have to move x here to the left side by multiplying it to both sides. We will get,

(1)(x) = (\frac{4}{x}) (x)

x = 4

So we have got the value of x here.

Now to find y, we will use the trigonometric function sine.

sin(45^o) =\frac{4}{y}

we know the value of sin(45^o) =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

By substituting the value we will get,

\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}  = \frac{4}{y}

By cross multiplying we will get,

(\sqrt{2}) (y) = (4)(2)

\sqrt{2}y = 8

We will get y by dividing both sides by \sqrt{2}, we will get,

\frac{\sqrt{2}y}{\sqrt{2}}   =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }

y =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2}  }

Now we will rationalize the denominator by multiplying \sqrt{2} to the top and bottom.

y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2})}

y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2}

y = 4\sqrt{2}

So we have got the required values of x and y.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Alex can drive for 100 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you do 30 - 18, which is 12. Divide 12 by 0.12 to get your answer, which is 100 miles.  

Hope this answer helped!

Match the information on the left with the appropriate equation on the right.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Equation of a line which has slope 'm' and y-intercept as 'b' is,

y = mx + b

If slope 'm' = 1 and y-intercept 'b' = -3

Equation of the line will be,

y = x - 3

x - y = 3

2). Equation of a line having slope 'm' and passing through a point (x', y') is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

If the slope 'm' = 1 and point is (-1, 2),

The the equation of the line will be,

y - 2 = 1(x + 1)

y = x + 1 + 2

y = x + 3

x - y = -3

3). Equation of a line passing through two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2,y_2) will be,

y-y_1=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}(x-x_1)

If this line passes through (-2, 3) and (-3, 4),

y-3=\frac{(4-3)}{(-3+2)}(x+2)

y - 3 = -1(x + 2)

y = -x - 2 + 3

y = -x + 1

x + y = 1
