The SAT is required of most students applying for college admission in the United States. This standardized test has gone through many revisions over the years. In 2005, a new writing section was introduced that includes a direct writing measure in the form of an essay. People argue that female students generally do worse on math tests but better on writing tests. Therefore, the new section may help reduce the usual male lead on the overall average SAT score (The Washington Post, August 30, 2006). Consider the following scores on the writing component of the test of eight male and eight female students.

a. Construct the null and the alternative hypotheses to test if females outscore males on writing tests.
b. Assuming the difference in scores is normally distributed, calculate the value of the test statistic. Do not assume that the population variances are equal.
c. Implement the test at α=0.01 and interpret your results.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:\

a

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]

b

[tex]t  = -0.39[/tex]

c

The conclusion

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the female outscores the male.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  sample size for male  is  [tex]n_1  =  30[/tex]

    The sample size for female is  [tex]n_2  =  30[/tex]

 The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]

Generally the sample mean for male is  

     [tex]\= x_1  =  \frac{\sum x_i}{n_1}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_1  =  \frac{620 + 570 +540 + \cdots + 580  }{30}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_1  =  574.33 [/tex]  

Generally the standard deviation of  male is  

     [tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_1 - \= x)^2}{n_1} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (620 - 574.33)^2 + (570 - 574.33)^2 +  (540 - 574.33)^2 + \cdots +(580 - 574.33)^2  }{30} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s_1 =206.24 [/tex]

Generally the sample mean for female is  

     [tex]\= x_2  =  \frac{\sum x_i}{n_2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_2  =  \frac{660 + 590 +560 + \cdots + 560  }{30}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_2  =  593.33 [/tex]      

Generally the standard deviation of  male is  

 [tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_1 - \= x)^2}{n_2} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (660 - 593.33)^2 + (590 - 593.33)^2 +  (560 - 593.33 )^2 + \cdots +(560 - 593.33)^2  }{30} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s_2 =169.31 [/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom for unequal  variance is mathematically represented as  

[tex]df  =  \frac{[\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}  +\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}   ]^2}{ \frac{[\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}]^2}{n_1 -1}  +\frac{[\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}]^2}{n_2 -1}  }[/tex]

=> [tex]df  =  \frac{[\frac{206.24^2}{30}  +\frac{169.31^2}{30}   ]^2}{ \frac{\frac{206.24^2}{30}}{30 -1}  +\frac{\frac{169.31^2}{30}}{30 -1}  }[/tex]

=>[tex]df  = 56[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

  [tex]t  = \frac{\= x _1- \= x_2 }{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}  + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} }[/tex]

=> [tex]t  = \frac{574.33- 593.33 }{\sqrt{\frac{206.24^2}{30}  + \frac{169.31^2}{30}} }[/tex]

=> [tex]t  = -0.39[/tex]

From the t distribution table the value of  [tex]P(t < -0.39)[/tex] at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df  = 56[/tex] is  

   [tex]P(t <  -0.39) = 0.3490080[/tex]

Hence the p-value  is   [tex]p-value =  0.3490080[/tex]

From the values obtained we see that the p-value  is  >[tex]\alpha[/tex]

Hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the female outscores the male

Which operation results in an expression equivalent to ? 23y^4 - 6y^3 + 35y^2 - 20y
A. Q - P

B. PQ

C. P - Q

D. P + Q

Answers

Answer:

D. P + Q

Explanation:

Given:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Required:

Determine which operation will give an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

SOLUTION:

Perform each operation given to see which of them gives an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

Q - P:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Q - P = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

(5y²(3y² + 7) -4y(3y² + 7)) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) - (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)

Open parentheses

15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y - 8y⁴ - 6y³ - 8y

Collect like terms

15y⁴ - 8y⁴ - 12y³ - 6y³ + 35y² - 28y - 8y

7y⁴ - 18y³ + 35y² - 36y

Therefore, P - Q does not give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

PQ:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

PQ = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

=(8y⁴(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) +6y³(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y) +8y(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y)(15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y))

= 120y⁸ . . . . .

Note: You don't need to perform this operation further anymore. It would definitely not give us the equivalent expression we are looking for. The degree of the leading term (120y⁸) is way too greater than the degree of the leading term (23y⁴) of the equivalent expression we are looking for.

Thus, PQ cannot give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

P - Q:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

P - Q = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y) - (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

Open parentheses

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y - 15y⁴ - 35y² + 12y³ + 28y

Collect like terms

8y⁴ - 15y⁴ + 6y³ + 12y³ - 35y² + 8y + 28y

-7y⁴ + 18y³ - 35y² + 36y

Therefore, P - Q cannot give us an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

P + Q:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7) = (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

P + Q = (8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y) + (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

Open parentheses

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y + 15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y

Collect like terms

8y⁴ + 15y⁴ + 6y³ - 12y³ + 35y² + 8y - 28y

23y³ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y

Therefore, P + Q will result in an expression equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y.

Find the slope of f(x)=5x-4

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

slope, m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the slope-intercept form of a linear equation can be written:

y = mx + b  or f(x) = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line.

in our case, we are given

f(x) = 5x - 4

if we compare this with the general equations above, we can see that

slope = m = 5

hence the slope is 5

A machine in a factory produces 25 gismos a day. After a $174 repair job, the machine improves its gizmo output by 16%.If the sale of a gizmo makes a profit of 75cents, the number of days it will take to recover the machine's repair is???




PLEAS HELP ME!!!

Answers

Answer:

Around 10 days ( 9.28 days: 9 days 6 hours 43 minutes 12 seconds).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 25 gizmos are produced each day, and 75 ¢ are made off of each one, a 174$ repair job will take away money that will need to be paid off.

We can create the following equation by using the amount of gizmos earned per day(x or time) multiplied the money made off of each one(in cents ¢), is equal to the repair job since it will be paid off once it is canceled out.

25x(75¢) = 174$.

Since the money made by each gizmo is in cents and not dollars, it is best to convert this into dollars since the repair job is in this form. Because 100¢ are in each dollar, 75¢ = 75/100 dollars = 3/4 dollars.

3/4 * 25 x = (3/4) * (25x) = (25*3) / 4 = 75/4x

(75/4)x = 174$

(75/4x) * (4/75) = (174$) * (4/75)

x = (174 * 4) / 75

x = 696 / 75

x = 9.28

We are multiplying by the reciprocal (numerator and denominator are switched) since it will make your coefficient 1 which is the variable itself. anything times it's reciprocal is equal to one.

75/4x = 174$

×4 ×4

(cancel out the denominator)

____________

75x = 696$

÷ 75 ÷ 75

(cancel out 75 to get the variable by itself)

___________

x = 696/75

x = 232/25

x = 928/100

x = 9.28

___________

Using a system of equation, the number of days it will take to recuvwr the repair cost is 58 days.

The increase in amount of gizmo produced after repair :

0.16) × 25 = 4 gizmos per day

Prize per gizmo = 75 cent = $0.75

Repair cost = $174

The number of days it will take to recover the repair fee can be calculated thus :

(Increase on gizmo per day × cost per gizmo)× number of days = repair fee

(4 × 0.75)d= 174

3d = 174

d = 174 / 3

d = 58

Therefore, it will take 58 days to recover the repair fee.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 7y= 16

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-7y-6x = -6x+16

-7y = -6x+16

Divide by -7

-7y/-7 = -6x/-7 + 16/-7

y = 6/7x -16/7

6x - 7y = 16

Subtract 6x from both sides.

-7y = -6x + 16

Divide both sides by -7

y = 6/7x - 16/7
