In order to compare the performance of students in large enrollment and small enrollment sections, 35 students from large sections and 35 students from small sections of a freshman mathematics course were randomly selected. The mean and sample standard deviation of grades on the common final exam for the students from large sections were 72.8 and 7.4; for the students from small sections, the mean and standard deviation were 75.3 and 6.8. A 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean common final exam scores between students in the two types of sections is about:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean common final exam scores between students in the two types of sections is about (-5.3, 0.3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction between normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

35 students from large sections. The mean and sample standard deviation of grades on the common final exam for the students from large sections were 72.8 and 7.4;

This means that:

[tex]\mu_L = 72.8, s_L = \frac{7.4}{\sqrt{35}} = 1.25[/tex]

35 students from small sections. For the students from small sections, the mean and standard deviation were 75.3 and 6.8.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_S = 75.3, s_S = \frac{6.8}{\sqrt{35}} = 1.15[/tex]

Distribution of the difference in the mean common final exam scores between students in the two types of sections:

Has mean and standard error given by:

[tex]\mu = \mu_L - \mu_S = 72.8 - 75.3 = -2.5[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_L^2+s_S^2} = \sqrt{1.25^2 + 1.15^2} = 1.7[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs = 1.645*1.7 = 2.8[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -2.5 - 2.8 = -5.3

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -2.5 + 2.8 = 0.3

The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean common final exam scores between students in the two types of sections is about (-5.3, 0.3).

Pilates is a popular set of exercises for the treatment of individuals with lower back pain. The method has six basic principles: centering, concentration, control, precision, flow, and breathing. An article reported on an experiment involving 84 subjects with nonspecific low back pain. The participants were randomly divided into two groups of equal size. The first group received just educational materials, whereas the second group participated in 6 weeks of Pilates exercises. The sample mean level of pain (on a scale from 0 to 10) for the control group at a 6-week follow-up was 5.2 and the sample mean for the treatment group was 3.2; both sample standard deviations were 2.3.
a. Does it appear that true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition? Carry out a test of hypotheses using a significance level of .01 (the cited article reported statistical significance at this α, and a sample mean difference of 2.1 also suggests practical significance).
b. Does it appear that true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition by more than 1? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses.

Answers

Answer:

a) We reject H₀     We find difference between the mean of the two groups

b) we accept H₀ : There is no statistical difference  ( in the scale of pain) when the difference in samples means is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Group 1: Only with educational material

Sample size     n₁  =  42

Sample mean   x₁  =  3,2

Sample standard deviation  s₁  =  2,3

Group 2: With exercises with the treatment of individuals

Sample size    n₂   =  42

Sample mean    x₂  = 5,2  

Sample standard deviation   s₂  = 2,3

Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                     H₀           x₂  -  x₁  = 0  or    x₁  =  x₂

Alternative Hypothesis         Hₐ           x₂  -  x ₁ > 0  or    x₂  >  x₁

Significance level  α  = 0,01

Sample sizes are n₁  =  n₂  >  30

We use z-test

for α  = 0,01     z(c)  ≈  2,32

To calculate z(s)

z(s)  =  (  x₂  -  x₁ ) / √ (2,3)²/42  + (2,3)²/42

z(s)  = ( 5,2  -  3,2 )/ √0,2519

z(s)  =  2 / 0,5

z(s) = 4

Comparing  z(s)  and z(c)

z(s) > z(c)

z(s) is in the rejection region. We reject H₀ the true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition.

b) Does the true average pain level for the control condition exceed that for the treatment condition by more than 1.

In this case

z( s) =  x₂ - x₁ / 0,5

z(s) =  1 /0,5

z(s) = 2

Comparing z(s) and z(c)  now

z(s) < z(c)        2 < 2,32

And z(s) is in the acceptance region ( for the same significance level) and we should accept H₀  equivalent to say that the two groups statistical have the same mean

product is the expert looking for?
What’s the answer?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -49/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of a positive number and a negative number will be negative. Its value will be minimized (most negative) when the magnitudes of the two numbers are the same. That is, the numbers that are 7 apart are symmetrically located about 0, so each has a magnitude of 7/2.

The product being sought is (7/2)(-7/2) = -49/4.

Answer: -49/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up two equations; a primary and a secondary equation.

Primary: P=xy

Secondary: x=7+y

Substitute the secondary equation into the primary equation: P=(7+y)(y), then simply: 7y+y^.



Next find the derivative of the simplified equation: 7+2y, then find the zeros: y = -7/2

Finally substitute y value into the secondary equation and solve for x:

x = 7 - 7/2

= 14/2 - 7/2

= 7/2



Multiply the two values together: -7/2 * 7/2 = -49/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of the can of a soup, A = 354.2 cm²

Radius of the can, r = 4.7 cm

We need to find the height of the can. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by :

[tex]A=2\pi rh\\\\ 354.2=2\times 3.14\times 4.7h\\\\h=\dfrac{354.2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.7}\\\\h=12\ cm[/tex]

So, the height of the can is equal to 12 cm.

The triangle and square have equal perimeters. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

A. 18
B. 4
C. 12
D. 32
E. 16
F. 24

Answers

Answer:

E. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the triangle = 4x+4x+(x+7)

Perimeter of square = 4(x+3)

We know that the perimeters are equal so we can form an equation to solve for x:

9x+7 = 4x + 12

Now we can subtract 4x from both sides to move the xs to the left side, and the same with the 7 so we have the variable on one side and the constant on the other:

9x+7-7-4x=12+4x-4x-7

5x = 5

Now we divide both sides by 5 to get:

5x/5 = 5/5

x = 1

Now we can use this value to figure out the perimeter of the triangle:

P = 9x + 7

x=1, substitute into equation:

P = 9(1) + 7

P = 16
