Use the t-distribution and the sample results to complete the test of the hypotheses. Use a 5% significance level. Assume the results come from a random sample, and if the sample size is small, assume the underlying distribution is relatively normal.

Test H0: μ= 4 vs Ha: μ≠4 using the sample results x= 4.8, s= 2.3, with n= 15.

(a) Give the test statistic and the p-value.

Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places and your answer for the p-value to three decimal places.

test statistic = ___

p-value = ___

(b) What is the conclusion?

Reject or H0.

or

Do not reject H0.

a)    

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

b) If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we DON'T have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is different from 4 at 1% of signficance.  

Do not reject H0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

represent the sample mean

represent the sample standard deviation

sample size  

represent the value that we want to test

represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

Part a

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is different from 4, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

 (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

Part b: Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we DON'T have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true mean is different from 4 at 1% of signficance.  

Do not reject H0.

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth

step-by-step explanation:

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )
