A psychiatrist is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the tics per hour exhibited by children with Tourette synd

rome. The data below show the tics in an observed hour for 13 randomly selected children with Tourette syndrome. The population standard deviation is σ=4.08.
Required:
a. To compute the confidence interval use a, z or t distribution?
b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of tics per hour that children with Tourette syndrome exhibit is between ______ and _______ .

Answer:

a) z-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation for the population.

b) Between \overline{x} - 1.86 and \overline{x} + 1.86, in which \overline{x} is the sample mean of tics per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To compute the confidence interval use a, z or t distribution?

We have the standard deviation for the population, and thus, the z-distribution is used.

b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of tics per hour that children with Tourette syndrome exhibit is between ______ and _______ .

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645\frac{4.08}{\sqrt{13}} = 1.86

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is \overline{x} - 1.86

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is \overline{x} + 1.86

Between \overline{x} - 1.86 and \overline{x} + 1.86, in which \overline{x} is the sample mean of tics per hour.

In the statement, “Weight is a function of height,” which variable is the input and which is the output?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

A. Height is input, Weight is output

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

"Weight is a function of height".

As we know,

<em>In a function of the form y=f(x), the input variable is 'x' and the output variable is 'y'.</em>

If we write the given statement in the form y=f(x), we get,

Weight=f(Height)

This means that the input variable is 'Height' and the output variable is 'Weight'.

Hence, option A is correct.

How does the graph of the function g(x) = 2x – 4 differ from the graph of f(x) = 2x
Lena [83]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  the y-intercepts differ

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient is the same for each function, so parallel lines are described. The function g(x) has a y-intercept of -4; f(x) has a y-intercept of 0.

The graphs differ in their intercepts.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

g(x) can be considered to be a translation downward of f(x) by 4 units. The same graph of g(x) can be obtained by translating f(x) to the right by 2 units. That is, both the x-intercepts and y-intercepts differ between the two functions.
