A researcher believes the new technique may reduce training time and decides to perform a hypothesis test. After performing the test on 50 students, the researcher decides to reject the null hypothesis at a 0.10 level of significance.
What is the conclusion?
A. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.020 level of significance that the new technique reduces training time.
B. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level of significance that the new technique reduces training time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level of significance that the new technique reduces training time.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that using traditional methods it takes 107 hours to receive an advanced flying license.

A researcher believes the new technique may reduce training time and decides to perform a hypothesis test.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = average training time to receive an advanced flying license

So, Null hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \geq[/tex] 107 hours     {means that the new technique doesn't reduce training time}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 107 hours     {means that the new technique may reduce training time}

Now, it is stated that after performing the test on 50 students, the researcher decides to reject the null hypothesis at a 0.10 level of significance.

As we know that if the test statistics value is rejected at a 10% level of significance, then it must not be rejected at the 0.02 level of significance.

This means that there is not sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level of significance that the new technique reduces training time because our null hypothesis has not been rejected.

8÷2 2/9 −2 11/15 I need help and this is a whole equation I need this ASAP

Answers

Answer: (1 and 22/45)

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that we are working with mixed numbers here, and we have the equation:

(8÷2 2/9) − (2 11/15)

first we solve: 8÷2 = 4.

Now, we can write this as:

(4 + 2/9) - (2 + 11/15)

(4 - 2) + (2/9 - 11/15)

now, 9*5 = 45

        15*3 = 45

then we can write the right side as: 2/9 - 11/5 = 10/45 - 33/45 = -23/45

2 - 23/45

But in mixed numbers we also need to work with a positive rational, then we have:

2 - 23/45 = 1 + 1 -23/45 = 1 + 45/45 - 23/45 = 1 + 22/45

then the solution is:

Which point is a reflection of T(-6.5, 1) across the x-axis and the y-axis? A. point U B. point V C. point W D. point X

Answers

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Point V.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates of T at (-6.5, 1), U represents T before any reflections. (Helps to visualize this better)

Reflecting across the x-axis results in the sign of the y-coordinate changed. Point T after this reflection becomes (-6.5, -1).

Finally, reflecting across the y-axis will change the sign for the x-coordinate.

(-6.5, -1) becomes (6.5, 1). This is represented by point V.

In 1994 the city of Anoka had a population of 18,000 people. Since then the population has grown by 5.2% each year. In 1994 the city of Minneapolis had a population of 390,000 and has been decreasing by 2.3% each year. How many more people will be living in Minneapolis compared to Anoka after 25 years?

Answers

Answer:

After 25 years, Minneapolis will have 154,062 more residents than Anoka.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write a function for each case.

For Anoka, the initial population is 18,000. The population grows 5.2% or 0.052 each year. Thus:

[tex]A(x)=18000(1.052)^x[/tex], where x represents the amount of years after 1994.

Inversely, for Minneapolis, the population decreases by 2.3% or 0.023. Another way to write this is that it in changes by 1-0.023 or .977 or 97.7%. Thus:

[tex]M(x)=390000(0.977)^x[/tex].

To find how many more people are living in Minneapolis than Anoka after 25 years, simply plug 25 into the functions and then subtract.

In Anoka, after 25 years, there will be:

[tex]A(25)=18000(1.052)^{25}\approx 63924[/tex] residents.

In Minneapolis, after 25 years, there will be:

[tex]M(25)=390000(.977)^{25}\approx217986[/tex] residents.

217986-63924=154,062 residents.

Lisa drew three circles to form a figure. The areas of the circles were in the
ratio 1:4:16. She then shaded some parts of the figure as shown.
What fraction of the figure was shaded?​

Answers

Answer:

Fraction of the figure shaded = [tex]\frac{13}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the areas of the given circles are 1 : 4 : 16

Then the radii of the circles will be in the ratio = [tex]\sqrt{1}:\sqrt{4}:\sqrt{16}[/tex]

                                                                             = 1 : 2 : 4

If the radius of the smallest circle = x units

Then the radius of the middle circle = 2x units

and the radius of the largest circle = 4x units

Area of the smallest circle = πx²

Area of the middle circle = π(2x)² = 4πx²

Area of the largest circle = π(4x)²= 16πx²

Area of the region which is not shaded in the middle circle = πx²(4 - 1)

                                                                                                  = 3πx²

Therefore, area of the shaded region = Area of the largest circle - Area of the region which is not shaded

= 16πx² - 3πx²

= 13πx²

Fraction of the figure which is not shaded = [tex]\frac{\text{Area of the shaded region}}{\text{Area of the largest circle}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{13\pi x^{2} }{16\pi x^{2} }[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{13}{16}[/tex]

Dr. Pagels is a mammalogist who studies meadow and common voles.

Answers

Answer:

Null hypothesis = H₀ = There food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

Alternate hypothesis = H₁ = There is a relationship between voles and food preference.

Expected meadow vole/apple slices = 29.983051

Expected common vole/apple slices = 28.016949

Expected meadow vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 31.016949

Expected common vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 28.983051

Chi-square value = χ² = 2.154239

Degree of freedom = 1

Critical value = 3.841

χ² < Critical value

We failed to reject H₀

We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a relationship between voles and food preference.

Step-by-step explanation:

He frequently traps the moles and has noticed what appears to be a preference for a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture by the meadow voles vs apple slices are usually used in traps, where the common voles seem to prefer the apple slices.

So he conducted a study where he used a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture in half the traps and the normal apple slices in his remaining traps to see if there was a food preference between the two different voles.

Null hypothesis = H₀ = There food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

Alternate hypothesis = H₁ = There is a relationship between voles and food preference.

Data collected by Dr. Pagels:

                                              meadow voles     common voles      Row Total

apple slices                                     26                          32                      58

peanut butter-oatmeal                   35                          25                     60

Column Total                                   61                          57                     118

Where 118 is the grand total.

The expected number is given by

Expected = (row total)×(column total)/grand total

Expected meadow vole/apple slices = 58×61/118

Expected meadow vole/apple slices = 29.983051

Expected common vole/apple slices = 58×57/118

Expected common vole/apple slices = 28.016949

Expected meadow vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 60×61/118

Expected meadow vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 31.016949

Expected common vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 60×57/118

Expected common vole/peanut butter-oatmeal = 28.983051

The chi-square statistic value is given by

χ² = Σ(Observed - Expected)²/Expected

χ² = (26 - 29.983051)²/29.983051 + (32 - 28.016949)²/28.016949 + (35 - 31.016949)²/31.016949 + (25 - 28.983051)²/28.983051

χ² = 2.154239

The degrees of freedom is given by

DoF = (row - 1)×(col - 1)

For the given case, we have 2 rows and 2 columns

DoF = (2 - 1)×(2 - 1)

DoF = 1

The given level of significance = 0.05

The critical value from the chi-square table at α = 0.05 and DoF = 1 is found to be

Critical value = 3.841

Conclusion:

Reject H₀ If χ² > Critical value

We reject the Null hypothesis If the calculated chi-square value is more than the critical value.

For the given case,

χ² < Critical value

We failed to reject H₀

We do not have significant evidence at the given significance level to show that there is a relationship between voles and food preference.

a triangle with all sides of equal length is a ------ triangle

Answers

Answer:

equilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

There are various types of triangles out there, each with its own unique characteristics that distinguish it from others.

One such triangle is called an equilateral triangle. Essentially, like its name suggests, this kind of triangle has all three angles equal (they're actually all equal to 60 degrees). Additionally, this triangle has all three sides that same, as well.

Thus, the answer is equilateral.

Just for future reference, here are a couple more types of triangles:

- Isosceles

These triangles have at least 2 sides equal to each other; in other words, an equilateral triangle is an example of an isosceles triangle. In addition, the two angles of an isosceles triangle opposite to the two equal sides are themselves congruent.

- Scalene

These triangles have all three sides different, which in turn means that all three angles are distinct.

- Acute

These triangles' angles are all less than 90 degrees. That's what "acute" means: less than 90 degrees.

- Obtuse

These triangles have exactly 1 angle that is larger than 90 degrees.

- Right

These triangles have exactly 1 angle that is equal to 90 degrees.

g(x) = (x + 3)2
g(x) = x2 − 3
g(x) = x2 + 3
g(x) = (x − 3)2

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = (x + 3)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function is shifted to the left or right we can think of a change of units, like a new independent variable is used.

If we have a quadratic function

[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]

and the graph is shifted 3 units to the left, then we can think of a new unit u that is:

[tex]g(x)=u^2[/tex]

The vertix of this parabola, that happens for u=0, happens for x=-3, as the graph is shifted 3 units to the left.

Then, the relation between u and x is:

[tex]u-x=0-(-3)=3\\\\u=x+3[/tex]

We can use this relation in the new graph and replace u as:

[tex]g(x)=(x+3)^2[/tex]

Explanation:

The identity we'll use is cos(-x) = cos(x) for any value of x.

So cos(-150) = cos(150).

Then locate the angle 150 on the unit circle. The terminal point is [tex]\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)[/tex]

The x coordinate of this terminal point is the value of cos(150).

Answer:

Cos(-150°)=-√3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-150° is found at the third quadrant so the cost value at third quadrant is negative

Cos(-150°)= -cos(30)=-cos(210)

Cos(-150°)=- (√3/2)

Cos(-150°)=-√3/2
