You would like to know whether forwards in a basketball league average the same (or different) numbers of points than the overall league average of 7.5 points. Drawing a random sample of 10 forwards from the league, their averages were: 10, 9, 6, 11, 13, 14, 9, 9, 9, and 10 points. If you were going to compare the obtained average of scoring by the sampled forwards with the population value of 7.5.

Required:
What is the critical t-value for such a test given an alpha level of 0.05?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The critical t-value for such a test given an alpha level of 0.05 is 2.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis : [tex]H_0:\mu = 7.5[/tex]

Alternate hypothesis :[tex]H_a:\mu \neq 7.5[/tex]

Population mean = [tex]\mu = 7.5[/tex]

Data : 10, 9, 6, 11, 13, 14, 9, 9, 9, and 10

Mean = [tex]\bar{x}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{no. of observations}}[/tex]

Mean =[tex]\frac{10+9+6+11+13+14+9+9+ 9+ 10}{10}[/tex]

Mean =10

Standard deviation : [tex]\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}[/tex]

Standard deviation :[tex]\sqrt{\frac{(10-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(6-10)^2+(11-10)^2+(13-10)^2+(14-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(9-10)^2+(10-10)^2}{10}}[/tex]

Standard deviation s :2.144

[tex]t = \frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}t = \frac{10-7.5}{\frac{2.144}{\sqrt{10}}}t=3.687[/tex]

Df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9

T critical =[tex]t_{(df,\alpha)}=t_(9,0.05)=2.26[/tex]

T calculated > T critical

So, We failed to accept null hypothesis

Hence the critical t-value for such a test given an alpha level of 0.05 is 2.26

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (0, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 2x? Ay= -2x + 1 B y = 2x + 1 C y = x + 1 Dy=-%2x + 1​

Answers

Answer:

y= -1/2 x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through point (0, 1) and is perpendicular to line with equation :

y=2x

Perpendicular lines are those that give -1 when the product of their slopes is calculated.

This means m₁ *m₂= -1

In this case, m₁=2, finding m₂ as;

m₁ * m₂ = -1

2  * m₂ = -1

      m₂ = -1/2

Using point  (0, 1),m₂ = -1/2, and imaginary line (x, y) then the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y= mx + b will be;

-1/2 = y-1/x-0

-1/2 x = y-1

1-1/2x = y

The equation will be ;

y= -1/2 x + 1

Answer:

a

 [tex]P(X = 8) =  0.0037[/tex]

b

 [tex]P(X <  5) =  0.805[/tex]

c

 [tex]P(X > 6) =  0.0206[/tex]

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is [tex]p = 0.267[/tex]

Generally data collected from this study follows  binomial  distribution because the number of trials is  finite , there are only two outcomes, (covering  , and  not covering mouth when sneezing ) , the trial are independent

Hence for a randomly selected variable  X we have that  

   [tex]X \ \ \~ \ \ { B ( p , n )}[/tex]

The probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

    [tex]P(X = x ) =  ^nC_x *  p^x *  (1 -p) ^{n-x}[/tex]

Considering question a

Generally the  the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(X = 8) =  ^{12} C_8 *  (0.267)^8 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-8}[/tex]

Here C denotes  combination

So

     [tex]P(X = 8) =  495  *  0.000025828 * 0.28867947[/tex]

    [tex]P(X = 8) =  0.0037[/tex]

Considering question b

Generally the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(X <  5 ) =[P(X = 0 ) + \cdots + P(X = 4)][/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X <  5 ) =[ ^{12} C_0 *  (0.267)^0 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-0} + \cdots +  ^{12} C_4 *  (0.267)^4 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-4} ][/tex]

=> [tex]P(X <  5 )  =  0.02406 +  0.10516 + 0.21067 + 0.25580 + 0.20964[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(X <  5) =  0.805[/tex]

Considering question c

Generally the probability that fewer than half(6) covered their mouth when​ sneezing(i.e the probability the greater than half do not cover their mouth when sneezing) is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(X > 6) =  1 - p(X \le  6)[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X > 6) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + \cdots + P(X =6)][/tex]

=>    [tex] P(X > 6)=1 - [^{12} C_0 *  (0.267)^0 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-0}+ \cdots + ^{12} C_4 *  (0.267)^6 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-6} ][/tex]

=>    [tex] P(X > 6)= 1 - [0.02406 + \cdots + 0.0519 ][/tex]  

=>    [tex]P(X > 6) =  0.0206[/tex]

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

(a )randomly observed individuals exactly do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing

[tex]P[x=8]=0.0037[/tex]

(b) randomly observed individuals fewer than do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing

[tex]P[x < 5]=0.805[/tex]

(c)  fewer than half covered their mouth when​ sneezing

[tex]P(x > 6)=0.0206[/tex]

What will be the probability?

It is given in the question that

The probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is

[tex]P=0.267[/tex]

Generally, data collected from this study follows  binomial  distribution because the number of trials is  finite, there are only two outcomes, (covering, and  not covering mouth when sneezing ), the trial is independent

The probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

[tex]P(x=8)=n C_X\times p^x\times (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Generally, the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 does not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

[tex]P(x=8)=12c_8\times (0.267)^8\times (1-0.267)^{12-8}[/tex]  

[tex]p(x=8)=495\times 0.000025828\times 0.2886794[/tex]

[tex]p(x=8)=0.0037[/tex]

Generally, the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

[tex]p(x < 5)=[p(x=0)+......+p9x=4)][/tex]

[tex]p(x < 5)=[12c_0\times(0.267)^0\times(1-0.267)^{12-0}+........+12c_4\times(0.267)^4\times (1-0.267)^{12-4}[/tex]

[tex]p(x < 5)=0.02406+0.10516+0.21067+0.25580+0.20964[/tex]

[tex]p(x < 5)=0.805[/tex]

Generally the probability that fewer than half(6) covered their mouth when​ sneezing(i.e the probability the greater than half do not cover their mouth when sneezing) is mathematically represented as

[tex]p(x > 6)=1-p(x\leq 6)[/tex]

[tex]p(x > 6)=1-[p(x=6)+......+p(x=6)][/tex]

[tex]p(x > 6)=1-[12c_0(0.267)^0\times(1-0.267)^{12-0}+....+12c_4\times(0.267)^6\times(1-0.267)[/tex]

[tex]p(x > 6)=1-[0.02406+.....+0.0519][/tex]

[tex]p(x > 6)=0.0206[/tex]

Thus

(a )randomly observed individuals exactly do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing

[tex]P[x=8]=0.0037[/tex]

(b) randomly observed individuals fewer than do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing

[tex]P[x < 5]=0.805[/tex]

Casey has 48 red peppers and 16 yellow peppers.

If Casey wants to put the peppers into baskets so that each basket has the same number of red peppers and the same number of yellow peppera, what is the greatest number of baskets he can make? How many of each type of pepper will be in each basket?

Answers

Answer:

Casey should use 16 baskets and put 4 red peppers 1 yellow pepper into each one of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)

The GCD of x and y is the maximum possible number that evenly divides both of them.

For example, GCM(36,48) is 12 because 36/12 is a whole number and 48/12 is also a whole number and 12 is the greatest of all possible candidates. Note that 6 is also a common divisor (36/6 and 48/6 are whole numbers), but it's not the maximum.

Casey has 48 red peppers and 16 yellow peppers. Since he wants to put them into baskets in such a way that each basket has the same number of red peppers and the same number of yellow peppers, we must find the greatest divisor for both numbers to maximize the number of baskets.

The GCM(48,16) is 16. Number of red peppers per basket=48/16=4. Number of yellow peppers per basket=16/16=1, thus:

Casey should use 16 baskets and put 4 red peppers 1 yellow pepper into each one of them.

How could you describe the maximum the LCM between two numbers could be?

Answers

Answer:

  the product of the two numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of two numbers is their product, divided by their GCF. If their GCF is 1, then the LCM will be their product. That is the most it can be.

__

We assume you're concerned with whole numbers. For rational numbers, the GCF may be a fraction, so the LCM may be larger than the product of the numbers.

  LCM(5, 6) = 5·6/GCF(5, 6) = 5·6/1 = 30

  LCM(1/2, 3/4) = (1/2)(3/4)/GCF(1/2, 3/4) = (3/8)/(1/4) = 3/2
