The president of a university claimed that the entering class this year appeared to be larger than the entering class from previous years but their mean SAT score is lower than previous years. He took a sample of 20 of this year's entering students and found that their mean SAT score is 1,501 with a standard deviation of 53. The university's record indicates that the mean SAT score for entering students from previous years is 1,520. He wants to find out if his claim is supported by the evidence at a 5% level of significance. True or False: The null hypothesis would be rejected.

Answers

Answer:

False.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a significance level of 5%, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the entering class has a mean SAT score that is significantly lower than 1520.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the entering class has a mean SAT score that is significantly lower than 1520.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=1520\\\\H_a:\mu< 1520[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=20.

The sample mean is M=1501.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=53.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{53}{\sqrt{20}}=11.851[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1501-1520}{11.851}=\dfrac{-19}{11.851}=-1.6[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

[tex]df=n-1=20-1=19[/tex]

This test is a left-tailed test, with 19 degrees of freedom and t=-1.6, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t<-1.6)=0.063[/tex]

As the P-value (0.063) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the entering class has a mean SAT score that is significantly lower than 1520.

Determine whether the description corresponds to an observational study or an experiment.

Research is conducted to determine if there is a relation between hearing loss and exposure to mumps. exposure to mumps.

Does the description correspond to an observational study or an​ experiment?

A. Observational study

B. Experiment

Answers

Answer:

A. Observational study

Step-by-step explanation:

In research, an observational study is a type of study in which the researcher observes a phenomenon and tries to establish some relationship between the different variables he/she is observing. In other words, the researcher only observes and doesn't give a treatment.

On the other hand, when we have a experiment, we usually have 2 different groups (one that will receive a treatment and one who won't) and the researcher compares the differences between these two groups because of the treatment. In other words, the researcher does something other than just observing.

In this example, the research is going to determine if there is a relation between hearing loss and exposure to mumps. In this example the researcher is only going to observe how people who have been exposed to mumps are regarding hearing loss (we can say this since it will be unethical for example for the researcher to create an experiment in which he/she exposes a group to mumps). Therefore, he is going to observe how the past exposure to mumps could be related with the hearing loss.

Thus, this is an observational study.

Roxie is picking out some movies to rent, and she is primarily interested in horror films and documentaries. She has narrowed down her selections to 66 horror films and 1515 documentaries. Step 2 of 2 : How many different combinations of 33 movies can she rent if she wants at least two documentaries?

Answers

Answer:

1,085

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of  number of different combinations of 3 films she can rent if she needs at least two documentaries is shown below:-

[tex]= N\times (2 \times documentaries\ and\ 1\ horror \ movies)+N\times (3\ documentaries)[/tex]

[tex]=(6C_1)\times (15C_2)+(6C_0)\times (15C_3)[/tex]

= 630 + 455

= 1,085

Therefore for calculating the number of different combinations of 3 films she can rent if she needs at least two documentaries we simply applied the above formula and here we consider one number in the question as it shows the double number.

What is the solution of the following linear system? y = 3x + 1 2y = 6x + 2

y = 3x +1 (1)

2y = 6x +2  (2)

We can devide equation (2) by 2 and we got:

[tex] y =3x +1[/tex]   (3)

And since equations (1) and (3) are equal we can do this:

[tex] 3x +1 = 3x+1[/tex]

And that implies:

[tex] 0=0[/tex]

And for this case we will have infinite solutions for the sytem given since we have two lines equal

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following system of equations given:

y = 3x +1 (1)

2y = 6x +2  (2)

We can devide equation (2) by 2 and we got:

[tex] y =3x +1[/tex]   (3)

And since equations (1) and (3) are equal we can do this:

On day two of a study on body temperatures, 106 temperatures were taken. Suppose that we only have the first 10 temperatures to work with. The mean and standard deviation of these 10 temperatures were 98.44oF and 0.30oF, respectively. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of all body temperatures.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of all body temperatures is between 97.76 ºF and 99.12 ºF

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.2622

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.2622*0.3 = 0.68

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 98.44 - 0.68 = 97.76 ºF

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 98.44 + 0.68 = 99.12 ºF

The 95% confidence interval for the mean of all body temperatures is between 97.76 ºF and 99.12 ºF

The student council is hosting a drawing to raise money for scholarships. They are selling tickets for $9 each and will sell 500 tickets. There is one $2,000 grand prize, four $400 second prizes, and sixteen $10 third prizes. You just bought a ticket. Find the expected value for your profit. Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

expected profit = $-1.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The required expected value can be solved below.

The total number of ticket they will sell = 500 tickets.

So,

expected profit = expected return - expected cost

1 grand price of 2000 = 1/500 × 2000 = 4

4 second price of $400 = 4/500 × 400 = 3.2

16 third price of $10 = 16/500 × 10 = 0.32

expected return = 4 + 3.2 + 0.32 = $7.52

expected cost = $9

expected profit = expected return - expected cost

expected profit = 7.52 - 9

expected profit = $-1.48

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P0(1+rt).

We know that A=$3,500,P0=$2,800 and r=7.5%=0.075, so we can rearrange the formula for A to get an explicit expression for t:

A=P0(1+rt)⟹t=A−P0P0r,

and substituting the known quantities gives

r=$3,500−$2,800$2,800×0.075=3.33,

which means, since the interest is paid annually, that she must wait four years for the total investment to exceed $3,500.

A, B, and C are collinear points. B is between A and C. AB = 5x + 8 BC = 6x - 1 AC = 12x - 11 Find AC.

Answers

Answer:

AC = 198

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all these points are collinear, we know that the addition of AB plus BC should give the same as AC. We can then set an equation that addresses this identity:

AB + BC = AC

5x +8 +6x - 1 = 12x - 11

Now re-arranging like terms in order to combine them:

8 - 1 + 11 = 12x - 5x - 6x

19 - 1  = 12x - 11x

18 = x

Now that we know the value of 'x", we can determine the value of AC:

AC = 12x - 11

AC = 12 (18) - 11

AC = 216 - 18

AC = 198

Jack has a rectangular patio with a length that is one foot less than twice its width. His neighbor Ron's patio has the same width but a length that is 5 feet more than its width. If Jack's patio is 120 square feet and Ron's patio is 104 square feet, how many square feet longer is Jack's patio than Ron's?

Answers

Answer:

difference in area = 16 ft²

if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft

if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacks rectangular patio

width = a

length = 2a - 1

area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

area = 120 ft²

a(2a - 1)

2a² - a - 120 = 0

(a - 8) (2a + 15)

a = 8 or -15/2

Ron's rectangular patio

width = a

length = a + 5

area = lw

area = 104 ft²

a (a + 5) = 104

a² + 5a -104 = 0

(a + 8)  (a - 13)

a = -8 or 13

How many square feet longer is jack patio longer than Ron's patio is the difference in their area. Therefore,

120 - 104 = 16 ft²

The value 8 or 13 can be used for a since the width a have to be the same.

if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft

if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft

Answers

Answer:

89 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle 1 is the same as angle 3.

Angle 2 is the same as angle 4.

The sum of these four angles is 360 degrees.

We have that:

Angle 2 = Angle 4 = 7x - 14

Angle 3 = Angle 1 = 5x + 14

Finding x:

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 + Angle 4 = 360

2*(5x + 14) + 2*(7x - 14) = 360

10x + 28 + 14x - 28 = 360

24x = 360

x = 15
