A researcher posed a null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test.

He randomly sampled 40 girls and 40 boys in a community and gave them the standard memory test. The mean score for girls was 68 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. The mean score for boys was 66 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. What is the p-value and your conclusion at alpha

Complete Question

A researcher posed a null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test. He randomly sampled 40 girls and 40 boys in a community and gave them the standard memory test. The mean score for girls was 68 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. The mean score for boys was 66 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. What is the p-value and your conclusion at alpha 0.05

Answer:

The p-value is  p-value =0.073614

 The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim  that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The sample size of boys and girls is  n_1= n_2 = n  = 40

      The standard deviation is  s_1=   s_2 = s = 5

        The level of significance is  \alpha = 0.05

       The sample mean for boys is  \= x_1 =66  

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu_1 = \mu_2

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu_1 <  \mu_2

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

           z = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2 }{ \sqrt{\frac{s_1 ^2 }{n_1}  + \frac{s_2 ^2 }{n_1}  } }

=>       z = \frac{66 -68 }{ \sqrt{\frac{5^2 }{40}  + \frac{5 ^2 }{40}  } }

=>       z = -1.789

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1,789   is

          P(Z <  -.1789 ) = 0.036807

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

         p-value =  2 P(Z <  -.1789 )

=>      p-value = 2 * 0.036807

=>      p-value =0.073614

From the values obtained we see that  p-value <  \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim  that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test

A decent-sized square plot of land in town is one acre. If Mr. Pearson wants to play football with his son Connor, then how far
sammy [17]
One acre of land is equal to 4046.86 sq.m.
To know how far they can throw the ball from corner to corner can be interpreted in two ways: throwing the ball diagonally across the field or throwing the ball horizontally across the field. For the first question, since the field is a square, you can use the equation Diagonal of Square = A x sq.root of 2.

In this case, the answer would be 89.97 m.

If the ball is thrown horizontally across the field, then you would only need to know the length of one side of the square, which is the square root of the area. Doing this would give you the answer 63.61 m.

If a+b+c=0 for a,b,c then prove a²/bc+b²/ca+c²/ab=3.
Ierofanga [76]
According to the identity if a+b+c=0
then a3+b3+c3=3abc
a3+b3+c3/abc=3
a2*a/bc*a+b2*b/ca*b+c2*c/ab*c=3
cancel a,b,c in   all the fraction then you get
<span>a²/bc+b²/ca+c²/ab=3.

Two sides of an acute triangle meaure 5 inches and 8 inches. The length of the longest side is unknown. What is the greatest pos
gladu [14]

The greatest whole possible whole number length of the unknown side is 9 inches.

<h3>How to identify if a triangle is acute?</h3>

Let us have:

H = biggest side of the triangle

And let we get  A and B as rest of the two sides.

Then we get:

If

A^2 + B^2 < C^2

then the triangle is acute

Two sides of an acute triangle measure as 5 inches and 8 inches

The length of the longest side is unknown.

We have to find the length of the unknown side

WE know that the longest side of any triangle is a hypotenuse

For an acute triangle we know:

A^2 + B^2 < C^2

Here in this sum,

a = 5 inches

b = 8 inches

c = ?

Substituting we get,

A^2 + B^2 < C^2\\\\5^2 + 8^2 < C^2\\\\25 + 64= C^2

c < 9

Hence, The greatest whole possible whole number length of the unknown side is 9 inches.

How to write 3 9/100 as a decimal?
Artemon [7]
3 9/100 would be written as a decimal like this, 3.09. You say three and nine one hundredths. The 9 has to be in the hundredths place, so you put a 0 in front of it. And since the 3 is hole, you put it in front of the decimal point.
