A six-week fitness program was designed to decrease the time it takes retired individuals to walk one mile. At the beginning of

the program, 20 randomly selected retired individuals were invited to participate, and their times to walk a mile were recorded. After the six-week program, their times to walk a mile were again recorded. Most participants saw little to no improvement in their times to walk one mile; however, a few participants saw drastic improvements in their times to walk one mile. The program director would like to perform a hypothesis test to determine if the program reduces the mean time for retired individuals to walk a mile. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Because there are 40 observations in total, the sample size is large enough to assume that the sampling distribution of the sample mean differences is approximately normal.
b. Because the walk times before and after the program are paired, a hypothesis test is not appropriate.
c. The sampling distribution of sample means can be assumed to be approximately normal because the distribution of the sample data is not skewed.
d. Because the sample size of 20 is less than 30 and the improvements in walk times in the sample data appear to be skewed, the distribution of sample means should not be assumed to be approximately normal.
e. Because the program recruited only retired individuals, the distribution of sample means should not be assumed to be approximately normal.

Answer:

c. The sampling distribution of the sample means can be assumed to be approximately normal because the distribution of the sample data is not skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data, we have;

The category of the sample = Retired individuals

The number of participants in the sample = 20

The duration of program = six-weeks

The improvement seen by most participants = Little to no improvement

The improvement seen by few participants = Drastic improvement

Therefore, given that the participants are randomly selected and the majority of the participants make the same observation of improvement in the time to walk a mile, we have that, the majority of the outcomes show little difference in walk times after the program, therefore, the distribution of the sample data is not skewed and can be assumed to be approximately normal

X^2 -50x+456=0 solve this algebraiclly find x
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

x=-406

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-50x+456=0

x^2-50x=-456

This is because we subtract 456 from each side.

x-50=-456

We then divide the whole equation by <em>x</em> .

x=-406

Adding 50 to both sides gives us <em>x</em> by itself, hope this helps :D

The standard formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr2h. If the cylinder is scaled proportionally by a factor of k, its vo
Lelechka [254]
So, r' (the new r) becomes kr, and h'=h*k,

so V' = pi * (r')^2*h' = pi * (r*k)^2*(h*k) = pi*r^2*h*k^3 = V * k^3

Is 7 - -4 positive or negative?<br> positive<br> negative
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you see two negative signs directly next to each other (as shown in the given expression), it will become a positive sign:

7 - (-4) = 7 + 4 = 11

Positive is your answer.

* To be fair, even if there is only one negative sign, the answer will still be positive, however, I am assuming you are suggesting only the sign, and not the answer.
