A diet claims to help lose weight. A dietician wants to see if a particular diet helps lose weight. 120 people were on the diet for 6 months. After 6 months, the sample mean of weight loss was 0.8 pound with sample SD of 2 pounds. The distribution is more or less normal. What kind of hypothesis testing do we use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. t-test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

Options are "a. z-test for proportions, b. z-test for means, c. none of the other three answers, d. t-test for means"

Sample size = n = 120

Sample mean = x = 0.8

Sample standard deviation = s = 2

Claim: A particular diet helps loss weight.

Hypothesis test

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H0 : μ = 0

Ha : μ < 0

Now, when population standard deviation is unknown we use t-test otherwise use z-test. So, the kind of hypothesis testing that we use is t-test for means.

Find the length of the line segment formed by the points (2, 3) and (2, 5)

Answers

Answer:

2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The points are  (2, 3) and (2, 5)

x1= 2

y1= 3

x2= 2

y2= 5

substitute into the distance between two points formula

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

d=√((2-2)²+(5-3)²)

d=√(2)²)

d=√4

d= 2 units

Hence the length is 2 units

16. Using a standard 52 card deck, what is the probability of pulling the king of hearts if you are
given two attempts (you will pull out one card and then another card)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this (I think) is to figure out the probability of not getting said king on either throw.

First Throw: P(no King Hearts) = 51/52

Second Throw: P(no King Hearts) = 50/51

Total probability = 51/52*50/51 = 50/52

Therefore the probability of getting it right is

P(KH) = 1 - 50/52 = 2/52 = 1/26

I have a feeling that this is not correct. If you get a different answer  that looks reasonable, take it.

Lily spent $190 on shirts. Fancy shirts cost $20 and plain shirts cost $10. If she bought a total of 12 then how many of each kind did she buy?

Answers

Answer:

7 fancy shirts and 5 plain shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

f and p are the numbers of fancy and plain shirts

f+p = 12

p = 12-f

20f + 10p = 190

20f + 10(12-f) = 190

20f + 120 - 10f = 190

10f = 70

f = 7

p = 12-f = 5

The average mass of Jeremy, Mark and Zack is 28 kg. If Jeremy and Zack's average mass is
29kg. How heavy is Mark?​

Answers

Answer:

Mark's mass is 26 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average mass of Jeremy, Mark and Zack = 28kg

Average mass of Jeremy and Zack = 29 kg

Let,

Jeremy's mass = x

Mark's mass = y

Zack's mass = z

Average of three of them = [tex]\frac{Jeremy's mass + Mark's + Zack's}{3}[/tex]

28 = [tex]\frac{x+y+z}{3}\\[/tex]

[tex]28*3 = x+y+z\\84 = x+y+z[/tex]

x+y+z = 84     Eqn 1

[tex]29 =\frac{x+z}{2}\\58=x+z\\[/tex]

x+z = 58    Eqn 2

Now putting value of x+z from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

x + z + y = 84

58 + y = 84

y = 84 - 58

y = 26

Thereofore,

Mark's mass is 26 kg.

In one particular suburb, there are 5 families that own a boxer. If there are a total of
25 families that own a dog in general, then what percentage of dog owners have a boxer?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

To get percentages, take the part of a population that is being specified and divided that by the whole population and multiply that value by  

100

%

.

So there are  

30

people that own boxers, this is the specific population that is being compared to the whole dog-owning population, which is comprised of  

50

total families. So

30

50

can be reduced to  

3

5

and that gives us  

.6

When that value is multiplied by  

100

%

, it gives us our percentage of

.6

100

%

=

60

Death is a definite fact and a guarantee of life. Despite his unflinching devotion, Andrew Hudgins admits that the cow will inevitably die when it becomes feeble since he will slaughter it in stanza three. When she becomes too weak to provide us with fresh cream, we will cut her scarlet throat. Gelett Burgess, an American author, wrote a brief nonsensical poem titled "Purple Cow."

Jerry is buying hot dogs and hamburgers for his barbeque. Hot dogs cost $9 per pack, while hamburgers cost $6 per pack with taxes

included. Jerry can spend a maximum of $100 on the food.

Using x and y for the number of packs of hot dogs and hamburgers, respectively, what is an inequality that represents this situation?

Answers

Answer: 9x+6y ≤10  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= number of packs of hot dogs .

y =number of packs of hamburger.

Total expenditure = (Charge per hot dog) (number of packs of hot dogs ) +(Charge per hamburger) (number of packs of hamburger.)

i.e. Total expenditure =9x+6y  ( in $)

Jerry can spend a maximum of $100 on the food.

So, Total expenditure ≤ $100

i.e. 9x+6y ≤10  [Required inequality]

The inequality that represents this situation:9x+6y ≤10

Answers

$420+$350+$432=kelsey's monthly expenses

Michael's average monthly expenses are $750.

What is the average?

The average value in a set of numbers is the middle value, calculated by dividing the total of all the values by the number of values. When we need to find the average of a set of data, we add up all the values and then divide this total by the number of values.

Given that, Kelsey spent $350 in May, $432 in June and $420 in July.

Now, average monthly expenses are

(350+432+420)/3

= 1202/3

= 400.67

Michael spent $700 in April and May and $800 in June and July.

Here, (700×2+800×2)/4

= (1400+1600)/4

= 3000/4

= $750

Suppose you roll a special 24-sided die. What is the probability that the number is a 1 or a 2

Answers

On the roll a special "24-sided" die, the probability that the number is a "1" or a "2" is 1/12.

The probability of rolling a "1" or "2" on a 24-sided die is the sum of the probabilities of rolling a 1 and rolling a 2, because the events are mutually exclusive.

Since each face of the 24 sided-die is equally likely to come up, the probability of rolling any particular-face is 1/24.

So, the probability of rolling a "1" is 1/24, and the probability of rolling a "2" is also 1/24.

The probability of rolling either a 1 or a 2 is the sum of these probabilities:

⇒ P(rolling a 1 or a 2) = P(rolling a 1) + P(rolling a 2),

⇒ 1/24 + 1/24,

⇒ 2/24,

⇒ 1/12.

Therefore, the required probability is 1/12.
