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

stepladder [879]

Answer:

12566.37061435917

or

4000π

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is 50π×80

this is because you have to find the area of the circle which is diameter times pi and then you multiply that by the height of the cylinder

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

2860

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 2 meters into cm and then convert to mm. m to cm+200cm cm-mm= 2000. Then turn 86 centimetres into mm which is 860 mm. Lastly 2000+860=2860. Hope this helps
