The heights (in inches) and pulse rates (in beats per minute) for a sample of 40 women were measured. Using technology with the

paired height/pulse data, the linear correlation coefficient is found to be 0.202. Assuming a 0.01 level of significance, find the critical value. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the heights and pulse rates of women?

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence  to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the heights and pulse rates of women

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient between the variables h(height in inches) and pulse rates (in beats per minute) is 0.202

Sample size n=40

Level of significane alpha = 0.01

Create null and alternate hypothesis as:

H0: r=0

Ha: r not equal 0

(Two tailed test at 1% significance level)

Sample r = 0.202

r difference = 0.202

test statistic t = \frac{r\sqrt{n-2} }{\sqrt{1-r^2} } \\=\frac{0.202(\sqrt{38} )}{\sqrt{0.9592} } \\=\frac{1.25}{0.9794} \\=1.271

df =n-2 =38

t critical value for 0.01 and df =38 is 2.704

Since our test statistic lies below 2.704, we accept null hypothesis

There is not sufficient evidence  to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the heights and pulse rates of women

Let X denote the number of flaws along a 100-m reel of magnetic tape (an integer-valued variable). Suppose Zdenote the number of
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a) P(20 \leq X \leq 30) = P(20-0.5 \leq X \leq 30+0.5)

P(19.5 \leq X \leq 30.5) = P(\frac{19.5-25}{5} \leq Z \leq \frac{30.5 -25}{5})=P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)= P(Z\leq 1.1) -P(Z\leq -1.1) = 0.864-0.136= 0.728

b) P(X \leq 30)= P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

c) P(X

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Continuity correction means that we need to add and subtract 0.5 before standardizing the value specified.

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(25,5)  

Where \mu=25 and \sigma=5

Part a

For this case we want to find this probability:

P(20 \leq X \leq 30) = P(20-0.5 \leq X \leq 30+0.5)

And if we use the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We got this:

P(19.5 \leq X \leq 30.5) = P(\frac{19.5-25}{5} \leq Z \leq \frac{30.5 -25}{5})=P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-1.1 \leq Z \leq 1.1)= P(Z\leq 1.1) -P(Z\leq -1.1) = 0.864-0.136= 0.728

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \leq 30)

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X \leq 30)= P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

And if we use the continuity correction we got:

P(X

Solve for x: 6x-4 over 3+2x=5/6
viktelen [127]

Domain:\\\\3+2x\neq0\to x\neq-1.5\\\\\dfrac{6x-4}{3+2x}=\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\6(6x-4)=5(3+2x)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(6)(6x)+(6)(-4)=(5)(3)+(5)(2x)\\\\36x-24=15+10x\qquad\text{add 24 to both sides}\\\\36x=39+10x\qquad\text{subtract 10x from both sides}\\\\26x=39\qquad\text{divide both sides by 26}\\\\x=\dfrac{39}{26}\\\\x=\dfrac{39:13}{26:13}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{3}{2}}\in D
