Answer: 2/3 yard

Step-by-step explanation: First, Kevin cut a plank a yard long. That means that he has a plank thats a yard long. Next, he painted 1/3 of the plank black. Before, 3/3 (basically equals to 1 yard long) of the plank was unpainted. So, the equation will be 3/3 - 1/3 which is equal to 2/3 yard.

Identify the independent and dependent variables for this study. The independent variable is the ratio of students to faculty us

Degger [83]

Answer:

-The independent variable is whether the motivational signs were posted, and the dependent variable is the amount of use of the stairs.

-Nominal scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent variable: In research methods, the term "independent variable" is described as the variable that is being altered, manipulated, or changed by an investigator to see its effects on the dependent variable in specific research or experiment.

Dependent variable: In research methods, the term "dependent variable" is described as the variable that is being measured, analysed, or tested in an experiment by the experimenter or researcher. The dependent variable is being directly affected by the independent variable.

Nominal scale: In research methods, the term "nominal scale" is determined as one the different measurement scales in which a specific number is being served as labels or tags only and to classify and identify an object.

What is the answer to -3(1+6r)=14-r

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

-3(1+6r)=14-r
-3 - 18r = 14 - r ...expand by using distributive property
-3 -17r = 14 ...add (r) to both sides
-17r = 17 ...add (3) to both sides
r = -1 ....divide both sides by (-17)

aalyn [17]

Answer:

a) $t=\frac{(91-85)-(0)}{2.490\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}}+\frac{1}{15}}=6.222$

$df=12+15-2=25$

$p_v =P(t_{25}>6.222) =8.26x10^{-7}$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

b) $(91-85) -2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =3.309$

$(91-85) +2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =8.691$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and hypothesis

When we have two independent samples from two normal distributions with equal variances we are assuming that

$\sigma^2_1 =\sigma^2_2 =\sigma^2$

And the statistic is given by this formula:

$t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}}+\frac{1}{n_2}}$

Where t follows a t distribution with $n_1+n_2 -2$ degrees of freedom and the pooled variance $S^2_p$ is given by this formula:

$\S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}$

This last one is an unbiased estimator of the common variance $\sigma^2$

Part a

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_2 \leq \mu_1$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_2 > \mu_1$

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_2 - \mu_1 \leq 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_2 -\mu_1 > 0$

Our notation on this case :

$n_1 =12$ represent the sample size for group 1

$n_2 =15$ represent the sample size for group 2

$\bar X_1 =85$ represent the sample mean for the group 1

$\bar X_2 =91$ represent the sample mean for the group 2

$s_1=3$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

$s_2=2$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

First we can begin finding the pooled variance:

$\S^2_p =\frac{(12-1)(3)^2 +(15 -1)(2)^2}{12 +15 -2}=6.2$

And the deviation would be just the square root of the variance:

$S_p=2.490$

Calculate the statistic

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$t=\frac{(91-85)-(0)}{2.490\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}}+\frac{1}{15}}=6.222$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=12+15-2=25$

Calculate the p value

And now we can calculate the p value using the altenative hypothesis:

$p_v =P(t_{25}>6.222) =8.26x10^{-7}$

Conclusion

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Part b

For this case the confidence interval is given by:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2} S_p \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2}}$

For the 99% of confidence we have $\alpha=1-0.99 = 0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ and the critical value with 25 degrees of freedom on the t distribution is $t_{\alpha/2}= 2.79$

And replacing we got:

$(91-85) -2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =3.309$

$(91-85) +2.79 *2.490 \sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15}} =8.691$
