A medical researcher wishes to investigate the relationship between hours exercised and weight lost. The researcher randomly sam

ples 50 people on an exercise program and asks them to report how many hours they have exercised on average over the last 6 weeks and how many pounds they have lost. The researcher runs a correlation and finds a test statistic of .34. Knowing that the critical value is .279, what should the researcher conclude

Answer:

The researcher will conclude that there is a correlation between the number of hours worked out and the amount of pounds lost by people on the exercise program

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to state what the conclusion of the researcher should be:

From the last part of the question, we can see that the test statistic is greater than the critical value

So what do we do in a case like this?

We can see that the researcher is trying to see if there is a correlation between hours worked out and the number of pounds lost over a specific period of time.

Now, let us form the null hypothesis;

The null hypothesis here H0 is that we do not have a correlation between number of hours spent working out and the amount of pounds lost

The alternative hypothesis here H1 is that there is a correlation between the number of hours spent working out and the amount of pounds lost

Since we have the value of the test statistic greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis

So therefore, the researcher will conclude that there is a correlation between the number of hours worked out and the amount of pounds lost by people on the exercise program

Robert can paint a room in 6 hours. Julio can paint a room in 8 hours.how long will it take for the two of them to paint a room
Llana [10]

Roberto paints 1/6 of a room in 1 hour.
Julio paints1/8 of a room in 1 hour.

Working together, they paint (1/6 + 1/8) = (4/24 + 3/24) = 7/24 room per hour.

The reciprocal unit rate is  24/7 hour per room = <em>3-3/7 hours</em> per room.

For the system of equations that follows, use Gaussian elimination to obtain an equivalent system whose coefficient matrix is in
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

System of equations given as

x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;

2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;

x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Matrix form

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}  \begin{Vmatrix}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{Vmatrix}

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & -8 & -1&0&2\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8  

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & -41/8 & 1& 21/4\end{Vmatrix}

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 0&49/41&165/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}
