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

A circle has an area of 314.1592. What is the diameter? (round to the nearest whole number)
ad-work [718]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is equal to pi*radius^2

We can then write this as

314.1592=π*r^2

We then divide pi to get

100=r^2

take the square root and you find that the radius equals around 10

The diameter is always equal to the radius times two which means that the diameter is 20

hope this helps

How do I find the median for a congruent triangle
Andrej [43]
The length of a median is equal to half the square root of the difference of twice the sum of the squares of the two sides of the triangle that include the vertex the mediam is drawn from and the square of the side of the triangle the median is drawn to.

Segment addition with variables
oksian1 [2.3K]

<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}

____________________________________________

From the figure:

\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40

Our goal is to find x:

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}

ICE Princess25 [194]

When you square the radius = 6×6= 36. Multiply 36×3×3.14=339.12. Using the formula, you then multiply 1/3×339.12=339.12/3= 113.04 in^3. Final answer is 113.04^3
