A psychologist would like to examine the effect of fatigue on mental alertness. An attention test is prepared which requires sub

jects to sit in front of a blank TV screen and press a response button each time a dot appears on the screen. A total of 110 dots are presented during a 90-minute period, and the reach subject. Two groups of subjects are selected. The first group (n 5) is tested after they have been kept awake for 24 hours. The second group (n-10) is tested in the morning after a full night's sleep. The data for these two samples are as follows:
Awake 24 hours rested
x=35 X=24
ss=120 ss =360
On the basis of these data, can psychologist conclude that fatigue significantly increases errors on an attention task? Test with α-05 and report effect size.

Answer:

The calculated value of t= 0.1908 does not lie in the critical region t= 1.77 Therefore we accept our null hypothesis that  fatigue does not significantly increase errors on an attention task at 0.05 significance level

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate null and alternate hypotheses are

H0 : u1 < u2 against Ha: u1 ≥ u 2

Where u1 is the group tested after they were awake for 24 hours.

The Significance level alpha is chosen to be ∝ = 0.05

The critical region t ≥ t (0.05, 13) = 1.77

Degrees of freedom is calculated df = υ= n1+n2- 2= 5+10-2= 13

Here the difference between the sample means is x`1- x`2= 35-24= 11

The pooled estimate for the common variance σ² is

Sp² = 1/n1+n2 -2 [ ∑ (x1i - x1`)² + ∑ (x2j - x`2)²]

= 1/13 [ 120²+360²]

Sp = 105.25

The test statistic is

t = (x`1- x` ) /. Sp √1/n1 + 1/n2

t=   11/ 105.25 √1/5+ 1/10

t=  11/57.65

t= 0.1908

The calculated value of t= 0.1908 does not lie in the critical region t= 1.77 Therefore we accept our null hypothesis that  fatigue does not significantly increase errors on an attention task at 0.05 significance level

Hoochie [10]
The mixture is 1 cup of vinegar to 1 gallon of water.
Since 1 gallon is 16 cups, it could also be
1 cup of vinegar to 16 cups of water.
If we had 80 fluid ounces of water, we'd have to change the water to 5 fluid ounces to keep the mixture the same. (It's still 1 part vinegar, 16 parts water)

Given the polynomial 21x 4 + 3y - 6x 2 + 34 What polynomial must be subtracted from it to obtain 29x 2 - 7 ? What polynomial mus
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. 21x⁴+3y-35x² + 41

2. -21x⁴-3y+6x² + x

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding and subtracting polynomials , you can use the distributive property to add or subtract the coefficients of like terms.

1. The polynomial is 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34

To obtain polynomial 29x² -7 , we must subtract some polynomial from it.

Let that polynomial be k.

So, 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34 - k =  29x² -7

k = 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² +34 - 29x² +7 = 21x⁴ + 3y - 35x² + 41

2. To obtain a first degree polynomial, let that polynomial be x +34

So, 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² + 34 + K = x + 34

K = x + 34 - 21x⁴ -3y + 6x² - 34

  = -21x⁴ - 3y + 6x² + x

Find the area of the trapezoid.<br> b1=5<br> b2=7<br> h=4<br><br> PLEASE EXPLAIN TOO!
olga_2 [115]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is\frac{b_{1} + b_{2} }{2} ×h

Start by substituting the values given in the problem into the formula

\frac{5+7}{2} ×4

Now Simply/solve

\frac{12}{2} ×4

6×4

24

The area of the trapezoid is 24units^{2}

I hope this helps!!!
