A medical researcher wondered if there is a significant difference between the mean birth weight of boy and girl babies. Random

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

b) independent samples t-test

$t=\frac{(5.92 -5.74)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.88^2}{5}}+\frac{1.81^2}{5}}=0.154$

$p_v =2*P(t_{8}>0.154) =0.881$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the mean of the group 1 (boys) is NOT significantly different than the mean for the group 2 (Girls).

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_1 = \mu_2$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_1 \neq \mu_2$

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_1 -\mu_2\neq 0$

Our notation on this case :

$n_1 =5$ represent the sample size for group 1

$n_2 =5$ represent the sample size for group 2

We can calculate the mean and deviation for eaach group with the following formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X_1 =5.92$ represent the sample mean for the group 1

$\bar X_2 =5.74$ represent the sample mean for the group 2

$s_1=1.88$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

$s_2=1.81$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

If we see the alternative hypothesis we see that we are conducting a bilateral test and with independnet samples t test.

b) independent samples t-test

The statistic is given by this formula:

$t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1}}+\frac{S^2_2}{n_2}}$

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$t=\frac{(5.92 -5.74)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{1.88^2}{5}}+\frac{1.81^2}{5}}=0.154$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=5+5-2=8$

And now we can calculate the p value using the altenative hypothesis:

$p_v =2*P(t_{8}>0.154) =0.881$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the mean of the group 1 (boys) is NOT significantly different than the mean for the group 2 (Girls).

Solve and SHOW YOUR WORK for the equation 3(4x – 2) = 9 + 2x + 5

enot [183]

Remember
you can do anyting to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sidess

distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
commutativ property
a+b=b+a

distribute
3(4x-2)=12x-6

12x-6=9+2x+5
add 6 both sides
12x+6-6=9+6+5+2x
12x+0=20+2x
minus 2x
10x=20
divide 10
x=2
