Answer:

refusal

Step-by-step explanation:

Defiance is the act of resistance against something. Confusion, fear, and need do not really relate to resisting something. The only answer that seems closest to the meaning of defiance (going against something) is refusal which is also not wanting to do something.

A certain pen has been designed so that true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions (involving the use of a writin

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) We reject our null hypothesis.

(b) We fail to reject our null hypothesis.

(c) We fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain pen has been designed so that true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions (involving the use of a writing machine) is at least 10 hr.

A random sample of 18 pens is selected.

Let $\mu$ = true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 10 hr {means that the true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions is at least 10 hr}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 10 hr {means that the true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions is less than 10 hr}

The test statistics that is used here is one-sample t test statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean

s = sample standard deviation

n = sample size of pens = 18

n - 1 = degree of freedom = 18 -1 = 17

Now, the decision rule based on the critical value of t is given by;

If the value of test statistics is more than the critical value of t at 17 degree of freedom for left-tailed test, then we will not reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.

If the value of test statistics is less than the critical value of t at 17 degree of freedom for left-tailed test, then we will reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

(a) Here, test statistics, t = -2.4 and level of significance is 0.05.

Now, at 0.05 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -1.74 at 17 degree of freedom.

Here, clearly the value of test statistics is less than the critical value of t as -2.4 < -1.74, so we reject our null hypothesis.

(b) Here, test statistics, t = -1.83 and level of significance is 0.01.

Now, at 0.051 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -2.567 at 17 degree of freedom.

Here, clearly the value of test statistics is more than the critical value of t as -2.567 < -1.83, so we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

(c) Here, test statistics, t = 0.57 and level of significance is not given so we assume it to be 0.05.

Now, at 0.05 significance level, the t table gives critical value of -1.74 at 17 degree of freedom.

Here, clearly the value of test statistics is more than the critical value of t as -1.74 < 0.57, so we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

In a study published on January 31, 2011 in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers randomly assigned 1

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective of this test is to know if aerobic exercise modifies hippocampus activity. A random sample of 120 elderly men and women was taken and divided into two groups.

Group 1: Walked around a track three times a week.

Group 2: Did a variety of less aerobic exercises, including yoga and resistance training with bands.

After a year their brains were scanned showing that group 1 had an increase of 2% in their hippocampus and group 2 showed a decrease of 1.4%

a. True, this type of observational study can be the prelude to a more formal statistical study.

b. True, the explanatory variable is "type of exercise", it's the variable that the investigator suspects influence the hippocampus volume.

c. True, the objective of this experiment is to test if there is any modification on hippocampus volume, that's why the volume of the hippocampus was measured, before and after a year of exercise.

d. False, this is an observational study, you cannot establish a causal relationship between the two variables. Just inform you that there seems to be an association. To be able to generalize the results to all elderly population you need a more formal statistical experiment to support your conclusions.

I hope it helps!

In the adjoining figure, the parallel lines are marked by arrow lines. The value of angle 1 is:

dlinn [17]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

40°, 70° and 90° are the measures of the three angles of the quadrilateral.

Measure of fourth angle of the Quadrilateral

= 360° - (40° + 70° + 90°)

= 360° - 200°

= 160°

Measure of angle 1 will be equal to the measure of the linear pair angle of 160° as they are corresponding angles.

Thus,

$m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree$

$\implies\huge\purple{\boxed{ m\angle 1 = 20\degree}}$

Alternate method:

$m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-(40\degree+70\degree+90\degree)]$

$\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-200\degree]$

$\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree$

$\implies m\angle 1 = 20\degree$

Identify the horizontal

jonny [76]

Answer:

y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem and find the asymptote you must find the value of x, for which F (x) (or y) becomes infinite, for this we solve the equation for X

$y=\frac{3}{5X} \\X=\frac{3}{5y}$

As you can see if Y takes a value of zero, then X would tend to be an infinitely large value so we conclude the horizontal asymptote is y = 0, I also attached the graph!
