An increase in walking has been shown to contribute to a healthier life-style. A sedentary American takes an average of 5000 ste

ps per day (and 65% of Americans are overweight). A group of health-conscious employees of a large health care system volunteered to wear pedometers for a month to record their steps. It was found that a random sample of 40 walkers took an average of 5430 steps per day, and the population standard deviation is 600 steps. At = 0.05 can it be concluded that they walked more than the mean number of 5000 steps per day?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

H0: µ = 5000

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: µ > 5000

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 5000

x = 5430

σ = 600

n = 40

z = (5430 - 5000)/(600/√40) = 4.53

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is < 0.0001

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at a 5% level of significance, it can be concluded that they walked more than the mean number of 5000 steps per day.

Factor the following:<br><br><br><br> 2x2+9x+9
ryzh [129]

Answer: (2x+3)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at this, you know that it must look something like

(? +3)(?+3) , because they must multiply to 9. The ?s must multiply to 2x^2, the most plausible values being 2x and x, ending us up with (2x+3)(x+3)

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Δy =-4-1 = -5

Δx =-8-(-6) = -2

distance =  √((Δx)^2+(Δy)^2) = √(4+25) = √29

Suppose you have three consecutive integers.The greatest of the three integers is twice as great as the sum of the first two.Wha
vredina [299]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since there are three consecutive integers, you have the equations

x, x+1, x+2 where x is the smallest number.

The greatest of the three integers= x+2

Finish setting up your equation;

2(x+x+1)=x+2

Combine like terms;

2(2x+1)=x+2

Distribute;

4x+2=x+2

3x=0

x=0

x+1=1

x+2=2

Hope this helps:) Have a good day!

In a certain constituency, there are 8 500 voters and
babymother [125]

First let's find how much is 15% of 8500 voters.

To do that, we can multiply 15 by 8500 and then divide by 100.

Work: 15 x 8500 = 127500

127500/100 = 1275

Therefore 15 percent of 8500 is 1275.

Then, we subtract 1275 from 8500 to find the amount of people who did vote.

8500 - 1275 = 7,225

Thus, 7,225 people voted while 1,275 people did not.
