A 2010 study asserts that the number of hours that the average college student studies each week has been steadily dropping (The

Boston Globe, July 4, 2010). In fact, the researchers state that, in the U.S., today’s undergraduates study an average of 14 hours per week. Suppose an administrator at a local university wants to show that the average study time of students at his university differs from the national average. He takes a random sample of 35 students at is university and finds that the average number of hours spent studying per week is 16.7. Assume that the population standard deviation is 7.2 hours. At 0.05 level of significance, what is the test statistics for testing the hypotheses H0: µ = 14 versus H1: µ ≠ 14?

Answer:

Test statistic    |Z| = |-2.21|

calculated value Z = 2.21 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

Null hypothesis is rejected

The researchers state that, in the U.S., today’s undergraduates not study an average of 14 hours per week

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given Mean of the Population' μ' = 14 hours per week

Given random sample size 'n'= 35

Mean of the sample (x⁻) = 16.7 hours per week

standard deviation of the Population (σ) = 7.2 hours per week

Level of significance = 0.05

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em>Null hypotheses :H₁: µ = 14</em></u>

<u><em>Alternative Hypothesis : H₂: µ ≠ 14</em></u>

<em>Test statistic</em>

              Z = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }

              Z = \frac{14-16.7}{\frac{7.2}{\sqrt{35} } }

               Z = -2.21

            |Z| = |-2.21|

The tabulated value

                    Z₀.₀₅ = 1.96

calculated value Z = 2.21 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

<em>  Null hypothesis is rejected</em>

<em>The researchers state that, in the U.S., today’s undergraduates not study an average of 14 hours per week</em>

The weight of the chocolate and Hershey Kisses are normally distributed with a mean of 4.5338 G and a standard deviation of 0.10
Salsk061 [2.6K]

For the bell-shaped graph of the normal distribution of weights of Hershey kisses, the area under the curve is 1, the value of the median and mode both is 4.5338 G and the value of variance is 0.0108.

In the given question,

The weight of the chocolate and Hershey Kisses are normally distributed with a mean of 4.5338 G and a standard deviation of 0.1039 G.

We have to find the answer of many question we solve the question one by one.

From the question;

Mean(μ) = 4.5338 G

Standard Deviation(σ) = 0.1039 G

(a) We have to find for the bell-shaped graph of the normal distribution of weights of Hershey kisses what is the area under the curve.

As we know that when the mean is 0 and a standard deviation is 1 then it is known as normal distribution.

So area under the bell shaped curve will be

\int\limits^{\infty}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx= 1

This shows that that the total area of under the curve.

(b) We have to find the median.

In the normal distribution mean, median both are same. So the value of median equal to the value of mean.

As we know that the value of mean is 4.5338 G.

So the value of median is also 4.5338 G.

(c) We have to find the mode.

In the normal distribution mean, mode both are same. So the value of mode equal to the value of mean.

As we know that the value of mean is 4.5338 G.

So the value of mode is also 4.5338 G.

(d) we have to find the value of variance.

The value of variance is equal to the square of standard deviation.

So Variance = (0.1039)^2

Variance = 0.0108

Hence, the value of variance is 0.0108.

What is the area of this figure?
coldgirl [10]
Answer: 102

-----------------------------------------------

We'll use the formula 
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
where
A = area of trapezoid
h = height
b1 & b2 are the parallel bases

In this case,
b1 = 6+7 = 13
b2 = 21
h = 6

Making the area to be
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(13+21)/2
A = 6*(34)/2
A = 204/2
A = 102

Side Note: We don't use the slanted side of 10 cm at all

Find the x-intercept of 3x + 2y = 12 is (__, 0)
Anettt [7]
3x + 2y = 12

(x, y) = (__, 0)

3x + (2 x 0) = 12
3x + 0 = 12
3x = 12
x = 4
