Childhood participation in sports, cultural groups, and youth groups appears to be related to improved self-esteem for adolescen

ts (McGee, Williams, Howden-Chapman, Martin, & Kawachi, 2006). In a representative study, a sample of n = 100 adolescents with a history of group participation is given a standardized self-esteem questionnaire. For the general population of adolescents, scores on this questionnaire form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation of σ = 15. The sample of group-participation adolescents had an average of M = 53. 8.
Does this sample provide enough evidence to conclude that self-esteem scores for these adolescents are significantly different from those of the general population? Use a two-tailed test with α =. 5.

The null hypothesis is H₀: , even group participation.

The standard error is , so z =

(to two decimal places). Using the Distributions tool, the critical value of z =

Using the z-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the population, it is found that the sample provides enough evidence to conclude that self-esteem scores for these adolescents are significantly different from those of the general population.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, we test if the score for group-participation adolescents is the same as the general population, that is:

H_0: \mu = 50

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the score is different, that is:

H_1: \mu \neq 50

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The parameters are:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation of the population.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have that:

\overline{x} = 53.8, \mu = 50, \sigma = 15, n = 100.

Hence:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{53.8 - 50}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{100}}}

z = 2.53

<h3>What is the decision?</h3>

Considering a<em> two-tailed test</em>, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with a <em>significance level of 0.05</em>, the critical value is |z^{\ast}| = 1.96

Since the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the two-tailed test, it is found that the sample provides enough evidence to conclude that self-esteem scores for these adolescents are significantly different from those of the general population.

WILL MARK BRANIEST: Write the equation of the line fully simplified slope-intercept form.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept is defined <em>y = mx + b</em>

Where m = slope (change in y-coordinate/ change in x-coordinate)

and b = y-intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis)

For every 1 unit the line moves horizontally... it travels 3 units vertically. Therefore the slope (m) equals 3/1 or 3

The line crosses the y-axis at -4. Therefore... the y-intercept (b) is -4

I hope this helps!

Solve for x in the diagram below.
larisa [96]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles form a straight line so they add to 180 degrees

x+ 100 +3x = 180

Combine like terms

100+4x= 180

Subtract 100 from each side

100+4x-100= 180-100

4x= 80

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 80/4

x = 20
