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>

At a 20th high school reunion, all the classmates were asked the number of children they had. The probability of having a partic
finlep [7]

Answer:

a) We need to check two conditions:

1) \sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1

0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1

2) P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) P(C \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C

c) P(C=0) = 0.05

d) For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probability distribution given:

C    0        1        2         3       4       5        6       7        8      

P  0.05   0.14   0.34   0.24  0.11  0.07  0.02  0.02  0.01

And we assume the following questions:

a) Verify that this is a probability distribution

We need to check two conditions:

1) \sum_{i=1}^n P_i = 1

0.05+0.14+0.34+0.24+0.11+0.07+0.02+0.02+0.01= 1

2) P_i \geq 0 , \forall i=1,2,...,n

So we satisfy the two conditions so then we have a probability distribution

b) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has at least one child

For this case we want this probability:

P(C \geq 1)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(C \geq 1)= 1-P(C

c) What is the probability one randonmly chosen classmate has no children

For this case we want this probability:

P(C=0) = 0.05

d) Look at the answers for parts b and c and explain their relationship

For this case we see that the result from part b use the probability calculated from part c using the complement rule.

Identify the slope and y-intercept of this equation and then show the steps to convert to standard form
kirill [66]

The slope is the factor in front of x, so slope is 9.

The y intercept is 7 (that's the point of cross the y axis, where x=0)

There are multiple definitions of "standard form" for lines, so here are the two i can think of:

9x - y = -7    (the implicit function form)

or

y-7 = 9*(x-0)  (the point-slope form)
