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

Which ordered pairs are in the solution set of the system of linear inequalities? y > x y < x + 1 (5, –2), (3, 1), (–4, 2)
steposvetlana [31]

To check which ordered pair (point) is in the solution set of the system of given linear inequalities y>x, y<x+1; we just need to plug given points into both inequalities and check if that point satisfies both inequalities or not. If any point satisfies both inequalities then that point will be in solution.

I will show you calculation for (5,-2)

plug into y>x

-2>5

which is clearly false.

plug into y<x+1

-2<5+1

or -2<6

which is also false.

hence (5,-2) is not in the solution.

Same way if you test all the given points then you will find that none of the given points are satisfying both inequalities.

Hence answer will be "No Solution from given choices".
