Twenty-five students from Harry High School were accepted at Magic University. Of those students, 10 were offered athletic schol

arships and 15 were not. Mrs. Hermione believes Magic University may be accepting people with lower ACT scores if they are athletes. The newly accepted student ACT scores are shown here.
Athletic scholarship: 16, 24, 20, 25, 24, 23, 21, 22, 20, 20
No athletic scholarship: 23, 25, 26, 30, 32, 26, 28, 29, 26, 27, 29, 27, 22, 24, 25

Part A: Do these data provide convincing evidence of a difference in ACT scores between athletes and nonathletes? Carry out an appropriate test at the α = 0.10 significance level. (5 points)

Part B: Create and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in ACT scores between athletes and nonathletes

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

For Athletic scholarship,

Mean = (16 + 24 + 20 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 21 + 22 + 20 + 20)/10 = 21.5

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n = 10

Summation(x - mean)² = (16 - 21.5)^2 + (24 - 21.5)^2 + (20 - 21.5)^2 + (25 - 21.5)^2 + (24 - 21.5)^2 + (23 - 21.5)^2 + (21 - 21.5)^2 + (22 - 21.5)^2 + (20 - 21.5)^2 + (20 - 21.5)^2 = 64.5

Standard deviation = √64.5/10 = 2.54

For non athletic scholarship,

Mean = (23 + 25 + 26 + 30 + 32 + 26 + 28 + 29 + 26 + 27 + 29 + 27 + 22 + 24 + 25)/15 = 26.6

n = 15

Summation(x - mean)² = (23 - 26.6)^2 + (25 - 26.6)^2 + (26 - 26.6)^2 + (30 - 26.6)^2 + (32 - 26.6)^2 + (26 - 26.6)^2 + (28 - 26.6)^2 + (29 - 26.6)^2 + (26 - 26.6)^2 + (27 - 26.6)^2 + (29 - 26.6)^2 + (27 - 26.6)^2 + (22 - 26.6)^2 + (24 - 26.6)^2 + (25 - 26.6)^2 = 101.6

Standard deviation = √101.6/15 = 2.6

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. it is a two-tailed test. Let 1 be the subscript for scores of athletes and 2 be the subscript for scores of non athletes.

Therefore, the population means would be μ1 and μ2

The random variable is x1 - x2 = difference in the sample mean scores of athletes and non athletes.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 21.5

x2 = 26.6

s1 = 2.54

s2 = 2.6

n1 = 10

n2 = 15

t = (21.5 - 26.6)/√(2.54²/10 + 2.6²/15)

t = - 4.65

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [2.54²/10 + 2.6²/15]²/[(1/10 - 1)(2.54²/10)² + (1/15 - 1)(2.6²/15)²] = 1.2008/0.1039

df = 12

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.00056

Since alpha, 0.1 > than the p value, 0.00056, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, these data provide convincing evidence of a difference in ACT scores between athletes and nonathletes.

Part B

The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as

Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)

For a 90% confidence level, the z score from the normal distribution table is 1.645

x1 - x2 = 21.5 - 26.6 = - 5.1

√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = √(2.54²/10 + 2.6²/15) = 1.05

The confidence interval is - 5.1 ± 1.05

This analysis provides evidence that the mean scores for non athletes is higher than the mean scores for athletes, and that the difference between means in the population is likely to be between 4.05 and 6.15

A certain company stock has decreased by 4$ per share. If keista has 17 shares of this stock, write an integer to represent the
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$ 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original value of a single share to be $ x

For 17 shares, total value of shares will be $17x

After a decrease of $4 per share, new value of a share will be $ x-4

For 17 shares, total value of shares after decrease will be $ 17(x-4) = 17x-68

Total change in the value of her stock will be ; value of shares before decrease-value of shares after decrease

= 17x-(17x-68)

=17x-17x+68

=68

Can you guys please help me im confused
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The bullet point between the numbers means times in this case, in some other cases it would mean "and" also known as plus. Therefore, the correct answer is the second one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In each half unit cube there is 6 cubes. ⇒

6 + 6 + 6 = 18 ⇒

But, this is not one of the options.⇒

So, we have to make the equation a bit different to solve it. ⇒

2 x 3 x 2, is the first option. ⇒

This is incorrect, as it equals 12. ⇒

The sum we are looking for is 18. ⇒

The second answer is 2 x 3 x 3. ⇒

This equals 18, we have found the correct answer. ⇒

So, there are a total of 3 half-unit cubes. ⇒

There are a total of 18 cubes. ⇒

I hope this helps!
