It is known that a particular laboratory task takes the average person 2.5 seconds (the variance is not known). A researcher was

interested in whether older people are slower (take longer) on this task. The researcher tested 30 randomly selected 80-year-olds. Their mean time was 2.7 seconds, with an estimated population standard deviation of 1.4 seconds. What should the researcher conclude?

Complete Question

It is known that a particular laboratory task takes the average person 2.5 seconds (the variance is not known). A researcher was interested in whether older people are slower (take longer) on this task. The researcher tested 30 randomly selected 80-year-olds. Their mean time was 2.7 seconds, with an estimated population standard deviation of 1.4 seconds. What should the researcher conclude? (Use the .05 significance level and use the five steps of hypothesis testing.)

Answer:

The researchers  conclusion is  

   There is no sufficient evidence to show that  older people are slower at the laboratory task    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean time is  \mu = 2.5 \ seconds

    The sample size is  n  =  30

    The  sample mean is  \= x  =  2.7 \  seconds

      The  standard deviation is  \sigma =  1.4 \  seconds

      The level of significance is  \alpha = 0.05

The null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu = 2.5

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu >  2.5

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      z = \frac{\= x  - \mu }{ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>  z = \frac{2.7   - 3 }{ \frac{1.4}{\sqrt{30} } }

=>  z =0.78

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right  corresponding to  z =0.78   is  

        p-value  = P(Z > 0.78) = 0.2177

From the value obtained we see that the p-value  > \alpha

   The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

    The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the older people are slower at the laboratory task

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dividend amount is given below:

As we know that

Dividend Paid = Net income - Retained earnings for current year

where,

Retained earnings for current year = This year - last year

= $500,000 - $425,000

= $75,000

Now

Dividend Paid is  

= $110,000 - $75,000

= $35,000

the diameter of a cylindrical construction pipe is 4 ft. if the pipe is 19 ft long, what s it’s volume?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

76\pi or 238.76 units^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is V = \pi r^{2} h

Here the radius is  r = \frac{1}{2} d = \frac{1}{2}(4)=2

The height is given as 19 ft

Then plug in all the numbers into the equation

V = \pi (2^{2})(19) = 76\pi = 238.76 units^{3}
