A business consultant wanted to investigate if providing day-care facilities on premises by companies reduces the absentee rate

of working mothers with children under six years old. She took a sample of 45 such mothers from companies that provide day-care facilities on premises. These mothers missed an average of 6.4 days from work last year with a standard deviation of 1.20 days. Another sample of 50 such mothers taken from companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises showed that these mothers missed an average of 9.3 days last year with a standard deviation of 1.85 days.
a. Using a 2.5% significance level, can you conclude that the mean number of days missed per year by mothers working for companies that provide day-care facilities on premises is less than the mean number of days missed per year by mothers working for companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises?
b. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means.
i. State the hypothesis
ii. State the rejection or nor rejection region
iii. Calculate the test statistics
iv. State the conclusion

Answer:

<u>Part a</u>:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

i) H0:  ud  ≥ u    vs          Ha: ud < u

ii) As the significance level is ∝= 0.025 and it is one tailed test then the critical region R < - 1.96

iii) The test statistics is  =−9.15

iv) We accept the alternate hypothesis.

​

<u>Part b:   </u>CI = (−3.637,−2.163)

​

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the sample sizes are sufficiently large (n1,n2> 30) we can use the sample standard deviations in place of population standard deviations.

<u>Part a</u>:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

i) H0:  ud  ≥ u    vs          Ha: ud < u

where

ud is the mean of the days missed  per year by mothers working for companies that provide day-care facilities on premises

and

u is the mean number of days missed per year by mothers working for companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises

ii) As the significance level is ∝= 0.025 and it is one tailed test then the critical region R < - 1.96

iii) The test statistics is

z= xˉ1 − xˉ2/√ s 1² /n 1 +s 2² /n 2

​=  6.4−9.3/ √1.2 ² /45+ 1.85² /50​

=−9.15

iv) The calculated z = −9.15 values lies in the critical region= R < - 1.96 and the null hypothesis is rejected. Hence the  mean of absentees for companies that provide day-care facilities on premises  is less than the

the mean number of absentees for companies that do not provide day-care facilities on premises.

We accept the alternate hypothesis.

​

<u>Part b: </u>

The confidence interval can be calculated using the formula

CI = ( xˉ1 − xˉ2) ± z∝/2 √ s 1² /n 1 +s 2² /n 2

CI = (6.4−9.3) ± 2.326 * √1.2 ² /45+ 1.85² /50​

CI = (−3.637,−2.163)

What 2/3 + 5/7 complete denominators
umka21 [38]
You have to find common denominators. We can look at 3 and 7 and we know that nothing X 3 would equal to seven. So, we have to multiply
2/3 X 7 + 5/7 X 3
When we do that, we get 14/21 + 15/21
So when we add, the answer is 
29/21
When we look at that, we have to see if it can be reduced. We know that both 7 and 3 can go into 21 but can they go into 29? No, so therefore, the answer cannot be reduced 
Final answer is 29/21

Answer:

J, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the values given into the equation

x = 5 and y = 2

4(5) - (2)³/ 2

20 - 8/2

20 - 8 = 18

12/2

6

the value of \frac{4x-y^3}{y} is 6 when the values are plugged in

Determine the difference: 3.2 × 1010 – 1.1 × 1011 Write your answer in scientific notation.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

-7.8*10^{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

3.2*10^{10} -1.1*10^{11}

we know that

3.2*10^{10}=0.32*10^{11}

substitute

0.32*10^{11} -1.1*10^{11}=-0.78*10^{11}=-7.8*10^{10}
