Using traditional methods, it takes 95 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer Aid

ed Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 260 students and observed that they had a mean of 94 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 6. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 95

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} \neq 95

The test statistic is:

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

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

A researcher used the technique with 260 students and observed that they had a mean of 94 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 6.

This means, respectively, that n = 260, X = 94, \sigma = 6

The test-statistic is:

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

z = \frac{94 - 95}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{260}}}

z = -2.69

The pvalue is:

2(P(Z < -2.69))

P(Z < -2.69) is the pvalue of Z when X = -2.69, which looking at the z-table, is 0.0036

2*(0.0036) = 0.0072

0.0072 < 0.01, which means that the null hypothesis is accepted, that is, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.

Alex invests $2,000 in a company's stock. After a year, the value of Alex's stock has increased to $2,500. What rate of return h
Kay [80]

The rate of interest is 25%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Principal, P = $2,000

Amount, A = $2500

Time, t = 1 year

Rate of Interest, r = ?

We know:

Amount = P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

On substituting the value we get:

2500 = 2000 (1 + \frac{r}{100})^1\\ \\\frac{25}{20}= (1+\frac{r}{100})\\

\frac{5}{20} = \frac{r}{100}\\  \\r = \frac{100 X 5}{20} \\\\r = 25

Therefore, the rate of interest is 25%

How many adult tickets were sold if each adult ticket sold was $6 and each student ticket was $4.50 and 260 tickets were sold fo
erik [133]

Answer:

   Adult tickets sold:   156

Step-by-step explanation:

   Adult ticket:   x

Student ticket:  y

x + y = 260                  ===>   -6(x + y = 260)     ===>  -6x -6y = -1560

6x + 4.5y = 1404         ===>                                           6x + 4.5y = 1404

                                                                                  ________________

add the two equations to eliminate a variable:                  -1.5y = -156

divide by -1.5:                                                                              y = 104

substitution to find x:

      x + y = 260

  x + 104 = 260

            x = 156

In an election, Candidate A received 75 votes and candidate B received 25 votes, after the first 100 votes were counted. Assume
enot [183]

Answer:

Candidate receives 2250 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of votes A : B = 75 : 25  = 3 : 1

3 : 1 = x : 750

Product of means = Product of extremes

1 *x = 3*750

  x = 3 *750

     = 2250
