In Hamilton County, Ohio the mean number of days needed to sell a home is days (Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service, April, 2012

). Data for the sale of homes in a nearby county showed a sample mean of days with a sample standard deviation of days. Conduct a hypotheses test to determine whether the mean number of days until a home is sold is different than the Hamilton county mean of days in the nearby county. Round your answer to four decimal places. -value = Use for the level of significance, and state your conclusion.

Answer:

t=\frac{80-86}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{40}}}=-1.8974    

p_v =2*P(t_{39}

If we compare the p value with a significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the data is significantly different from 86 days.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following problem: "In Hamilton County, Ohio the mean number of days needed to sell a home is 86 days (Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service, April, 2012). Data for the sale 40 of homes in a nearby county showed a sample mean of 80 days with a sample standard deviation of 20 days. Conduct a hypotheses test to determine whether the mean number of days until a home is sold is different than the Hamilton county mean of 86 days in the nearby county. "

1) Data given and notation    

\bar X=80 represent the sample mean

s=20 represent the sample standard deviation

n=40 sample size    

\mu_o =86 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is different from 86, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:\mu = 86    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 86    

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case we can use the t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

t=\frac{80-86}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{40}}}=-1.8974    

4) Calculate the P-value    

First we need to find the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=40-1=39

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:    

p_v =2*P(t_{39}

In Excel we can use the following formula to find the p value "=2*T.DIST(-1.8974,39,TRUE)"  

5) Conclusion    

If we compare the p value with a significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean for the data is significantly different from 86 days.

Fill in the blank. Given O below, you can conclude that OD is congruent to ___________.
Debora [2.8K]

The circle with center O has two chords AC and EF which are of same length 9.07.

OD and OB are the two perpendiculars drawn from the center O to the two chords AC and EF .It represents the distance of the chords from the centre.

The circle theorem states: congruent chords are equidistant from the center.

OD is congruent to OB.

Option A is the right answer.

A hypothesis test has a significance level of 10%. Explain what this significance level represents.
beks73 [17]
In statistical methods, the significance level is a value that is used as a criterion for rejecting a null hypothesis. It used by first looking at the differences between the experimental results and from there the null hypothesis would be determined. Then, we assume that the null hypothesis is true, the probability of the differences is computed by using statistical tools. If the computed probability is less than or equal to the value of the significance level, then you conclude that the null hypothesis should be rejected and that the results are statistically significant. Usually, a significance level of 1% or 5% is used.

PLEASE HELP, 30 points AND brainliest if I get an explanation :)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

BLUE PENTAGON

The blue shape represents the Pentagon

The length of the side a = 7

As there are 5 sides.

Thus,

The Perimeter of the Blue Pentagon = P = 5a = 5(7) = 35

Using the formula to determine the area of the Pentagon

 A=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5\left(5+2\sqrt{5}\right)}a^2\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:

A=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5\left(5+2\sqrt{5}\right)}\left(7\right)^2\:\:\:\:\:\:

A\approx 84.3\:\:\:

Thus,

The Area of the Blue Pentagon = A\approx 84.3\:\:\:

RED PENTAGON

The red shape represents the Pentagon

The length of the side a = 4

As there are 5 sides.

Thus,

The Perimeter of the Red Pentagon = P = 5a = 5(4) = 20

Using the formula to determine the area of the Pentagon

 A=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5\left(5+2\sqrt{5}\right)}a^2\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:

A=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5\left(5+2\sqrt{5}\right)}\left(4\right)^2\:\:\:\:\:\:

\:A\approx 27.5

The Area of the Red Pentagon = \:A\approx 27.5

<u><em>Conclusion:</em></u>

The Perimeter of the Blue Pentagon =  35

The Perimeter of the Red Pentagon = 20

Thus, the<u><em> ratio of the perimeter</em></u> is: 35/20 = 7/4

The Area of the Blue Pentagon =  84.3 = 843/10

The Area of the Red Pentagon = 27.5 = 275/10

Thus, the<u><em> ratio of the Area</em></u> is:

 \frac{\frac{843}{10}}{\frac{275}{10}}=\frac{843}{275}
