Cushing's disease is characterized by muscular weakness due to adrenal or pituitary dysfunction. To provide effective treatment,

it is important to detect childhood Cushing's disease as early as possible. Age at onset of symptoms and age at diagnosis (months) for 15 children suffering from the disease were given in an article "Treatment of Cushing's Disease in Childhood and Adolescence by Transphenoidal Microadenomectomy" (New Engl. J. of Med., 1984: 889). Here are the values of the differences between age at onset of symptoms and age at diagnosis:
-24 -12 -55 -15 -30 -60 -14 -21
-48 -12 -25 -53 -61 -69 -80
Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean difference, and interpret the resulting bound.

Answer:

Since the calculated value of t =-0.427 does not  fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude that there is enough evidence to show that mean difference in the  age of onset of symptoms and age of diagnosis is  25 months  .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is

Difference d= -24 -12 -55 -15 -30 -60 -14 -21 -48 -12 -25 -53 -61 -69 -80

∑ d= -579

 ∑d²= 29871

1) Let the hypotheses be

H0: ud= 25 against the claim    Ha: ud ≠25

H0 : mean difference in the  age of onset of symptoms and age of diagnosis is  25 months  .

Ha:   mean difference in the  age of onset of symptoms and age of diagnosis is not 25 months.

 

2) The degrees of freedom = n-1= 15-1= 14

3) The significance level is 0.05

4) The test statistic is

t= d`/sd/√n

The critical region is ║t║≤ t (0.025,14) = ±2.145

d`= ∑di/n= -579/15= -38.6

Sd= 23.178  (using calculators)

Therefore

t= d`/ sd/√n

t= -38.6/ 23.178√15

t= -1.655/3.872= -0.427

5) Since the calculated value of t =-0.427 does not  fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude that there is enough evidence to show that mean difference in the  age of onset of symptoms and age of diagnosis is  25 months  .

What assumption have you made in answering part b​
emmasim [6.3K]

You're assuming that this data set represents all of Mrs. Hassaan's pupils. Certain students could be missing from the histogram - for instance, there could be one or two students who missed the test, but for certain reasons will be taking a make-up exam. Their grade would not be recording in this data set, but they still contribute to the class size, and so would be unaccounted for here.

the theaters sell tickets for a concert. tickets for the lower level are $35 each and tickets for the upper level are $25 each.
nasty-shy [4]
Equation 1 for tickets sold:
$35x + $25y = $10,250

Equation 2 for quantity (number #) of tickets sold:
x + y = 350

Use substitution method:

y = 350 - x

35x + 25 (350 - x) = $10,250

35x + $8750 - 25x = $10,250

10x + $8750 = $10,250
- $8,750 -$8,750

10x = 1,500

x = 150

y = 350 - 150

y = 200

Check the answers:

$35 (150) + $25 (200) =

$5,250 + $5,000 = $10,250

Trava [24]

Answer:

The slope of a line perpendicular to this line is -1/3. The slope of a line parallel to this line would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite(sign) and reciprocal slopes.

Parallel lines have the same slope.
