Pilates is a popular set of exercises for the treatment of individuals with lower back pain. The method has six basic principles

: centering, concentration, control, precision, flow, and breathing. An article reported on an experiment involving 84 subjects with nonspecific low back pain. The participants were randomly divided into two groups of equal size. The first group received just educational materials, whereas the second group participated in 6 weeks of Pilates exercises. The sample mean level of pain (on a scale from 0 to 10) for the control group at a 6-week follow-up was 5.2 and the sample mean for the treatment group was 3.2; both sample standard deviations were 2.3.
a. Does it appear that true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition? Carry out a test of hypotheses using a significance level of .01 (the cited article reported statistical significance at this α, and a sample mean difference of 2.1 also suggests practical significance).
b. Does it appear that true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition by more than 1? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses.

Answer:

a) We reject H₀     We find difference between the mean of the two groups

b) we accept H₀ : There is no statistical difference  ( in the scale of pain) when the difference in samples means is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Group 1: Only with educational material

Sample size     n₁  =  42

Sample mean   x₁  =  3,2

Sample standard deviation  s₁  =  2,3

Group 2: With exercises with the treatment of individuals

Sample size    n₂   =  42

Sample mean    x₂  = 5,2  

Sample standard deviation   s₂  = 2,3

Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                     H₀           x₂  -  x₁  = 0  or    x₁  =  x₂

Alternative Hypothesis         Hₐ           x₂  -  x ₁ > 0  or    x₂  >  x₁

Significance level  α  = 0,01

Sample sizes are n₁  =  n₂  >  30

We use z-test

for α  = 0,01     z(c)  ≈  2,32

To calculate z(s)

z(s)  =  (  x₂  -  x₁ ) / √ (2,3)²/42  + (2,3)²/42

z(s)  = ( 5,2  -  3,2 )/ √0,2519

z(s)  =  2 / 0,5

z(s) = 4

Comparing  z(s)  and z(c)

z(s) > z(c)

z(s) is in the rejection region. We reject H₀ the true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition.

b) Does the true average pain level for the control condition exceed that for the treatment condition by more than 1.

In this case

z( s) =  x₂ - x₁ / 0,5

z(s) =  1 /0,5

z(s) = 2

Comparing z(s) and z(c)  now

z(s) < z(c)        2 < 2,32

And z(s) is in the acceptance region ( for the same significance level) and we should accept H₀  equivalent to say that the two groups statistical have the same mean

The Jackson family went out to dinner
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:  Amount that the Smith family need to pay for the meal including tax and tip = 53.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price of the meal = 43.45

Rate of sales tax = 7%

Amount becomes after the sales tax is given by

\frac{7}{100}\times 43.45\\\\\frac{304.15}{100}\\\\=3.0415\\\\\text{Amount}=43.45+3.0415=46.4915

Rate of tips over meal and sales = 15%

Amount of tips is given by

\frac{15}{100}\times 46.4915\\\\=0.15\times 46.4915\\\\=6.974

So, Amount becomes

46.4915+6.974\\\\=53.465\\\\=53.47

Hence, Amount that the Smith family need to pay for the meal including tax and tip = 53.47.

If you flipped the graph of y = x2 + 2x - 2 vertically, you would get the graph of y = -(x2 + 2x - 2). true or false
lyudmila [28]
Hi friend,
If you flipped the graph y=x^2+2x-2 vertically, you would get the graph y=-(x^2+2x-2) TRUE. 
Hope this helps you!

A rectangular swimming pool measures 14 feet by 30 feet. The pool is
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The total cost of resurface the path is \$600

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the path

The area of the path is equal to the area of the path plus the swimming pool minus the area of the swimming pool

A=(14+3+3)(30+3+3)-(14)(30)

A=(20)(36)-(14)(30)

A=300\ ft^{2}

step 2

Find the cost of resurface the path

Multiply the area of the path by $2 per square foot

300*2=\$600

On their first dive, researchers explore a part of the ocean floor that is 60 feet
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

d < -60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the depth of the researchers' second dive.

Given;

Depth of First dive = -60 ft

It was stated that in their second dive, the researchers explore a deeper depth, That is depth deeper than 60 ft.

Since the depth of 60ft is represented by the integer -60,

Deeper depth would be represented by integers less than -60.

So, d can be represented as;

d < -60
