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

Question

The table shows the heights in a basketball team.

Height: 198, 199, 200, 201, 202

a.) Work out the mean height of the team. Round you answer to 1d.p.

That, I have worked out is 200.3

b.) A new player joins the team and raises the mean average height to 201cm. Work out the height of the new player.

Answer:

206 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the fiven numbers, 198+199+200+201+202=1000

For a mean of 201, the product should be 201*6=1206

The difference of the two is equivalent to the height of the other person hence 1206-1000=206 cm

Therefore, the height is 206 cm

Are the two triangles similar? how do you know?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

A. no

Step-by-step explanation:

You might expect to use SAS in showing similarity, but the sides on either side of congruent angles M are in the ratio of 3:4 in one triangle and 2:3 in the other. Corresponding sides do not have the same ratio, so the triangles cannot be similar.

The last time he checked, Matthew was 40 inches tall. Matthew just measured himself again and found out that he is 10% taller no
weqwewe [10]
44 inches.

All you have to do is find out what 10% of 40 is then add it back to 40. In the case of finding 10% of something you just “chop” of the back number (or move the decimal place forward) so 10% of 40 is 4. The. 40+4=44.

You can also multiply fractions to find the percent of a number but that is not necessary in this case.

Solve the system of equations.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

b.

( -3, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 13 = 2x + 1

6x -2x = 1-13

4x = -12

x = -12/4 = -3

y = 6x + 13

y = 6(-3) +13 = -18+13 = -5

(x, y) = (-3,-5)
