Dave and 6 friends went to dinner. They split the bill evenly. The total for the meal was $84. How much did each friend pay

Simplify: i) (a + b)(5a – 3b) + (a – 3b)(a – b) ii) (a – b) (a2 + b2 + ab) – (a + b) (a2 + b2 – ab) iii) (b2 – 49) (b + 7) + 343

NEED HELP NOW. I need help finding the x-intercepts.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

To find the x-intercepts we can write:

0 = -1/2(x + 3)² + 4

0 = -1/2(x² + 6x + 9) + 4

0 = -1/2x² - 3x - 9/2 + 4

0 = -1/2x² - 3x - 1/2

0 = x² + 6x + 1

x = -3 ± 2√2 (use quadratic formula)

As a decimal this can be written as x = -5.83, x = -0.17.

A marketing research firm wishes to compare the prices charged by two supermarket chains—Miller’s and Albert’s. The research fir

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

a) $F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{1.84^2}{1.4^2}=1.727 \approx 1.73$

b) For this case since we have a two tailed test we have two critical values, and we can find the two values since we need that on each tail the area would be $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , the distribution is the F with 9 df for the numerator and denominator, and we can use the following excel codes to find the critical values:

"=F.INV(0.025,9,9)"

"=F.INV(1-0.025,9,9)"

The two critical values are 0.248 and 4.026, so the rejection zone would be: $F>4.026 \cup F$ since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we fail to rejec the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$n_1 = 10$ represent the sampe size for the Miller's Stores

$n_2 =10$ represent the sample size for the Albert's stores

$\bar X_1 =121.92$ represent the sample mean for Miller's store

$\bar X_2 =114.81$ represent the sample mean for Albert's store

$s_1 = 1.4$ represent the sample deviation for the Miller's store

$s_2 = 1.84$ represent the sample deviation for the Albert's stores

$s^2_2 = 12.25$ represent the sample variance for the utility stocks

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level provided

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

F test is a statistical test that uses a F Statistic to compare two population variances, with the sample deviations s1 and s2. The F statistic is always positive number since the variance it's always higher than 0. The statistic is given by:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}$

Solution to the problem

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the variation for th two groups is the same, so the system of hypothesis are:

H0: $\sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2_2$

H1: $\sigma^2_1 \new \sigma^2_2$

a) Calculate the statistic

Now we can calculate the statistic like this:

$F=\frac{s^2_2}{s^2_1}=\frac{1.84^2}{1.4^2}=1.727 \approx 1.73$

Now we can calculate the p value but first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic. For the numerator we have $n_1 -1 =10-1=9$ and for the denominator we have $n_2 -1 =10-1=9$ and the F statistic have 9 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 9 for the denominator. And the P value is given by:

P value

$p_v =2*P(F_{9,9}>1.727)=0.428$

And we can use the following excel code to find the p value:"=2*(1-F.DIST(1.727,9,9,TRUE))"

b) Critical value

For this case since we have a two tailed test we have two critical values, and we can find the two values since we need that on each tail the area would be $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , the distribution is the F with 9 df for the numerator and denominator, and we can use the following excel codes to find the critical values:

"=F.INV(0.025,9,9)"

"=F.INV(1-0.025,9,9)"

The two critical values are 0.248 and 4.026, so the rejection zone would be: $F>4.026 \cup F$ since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we fail to rejec the null hypothesis

Since our calcu

Conclusion

Since the $p_v > \alpha$ we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. And we can say that we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the two deviations are different at 5% of significance.
