Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of m
iles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups, and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. A. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.10 level of significance to support Fran's claim that there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners.
B. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.10 level of significance to support Fran's claim that there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners.
C.We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.10 level of significance to support fran's claim that there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners.
D. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.10 level of significance to support Fran's claim that there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners.
First, a square's diagonal is basically the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. a 45-45-90 triangle has a really special relationship, where the side length is x, and the diagonal is x . So, the side length is 15.
