A researcher was interested in comparing the resting heart rate of people who exercise regularly and people who do not exercise regularly. Independent simple random samples of 16 people ages who do not exercise regularly and 12 people ages two who do exercise regular were selected and the resting heart rate of each person was measured.
The summary statistics are as follows.
Do not exercise Do exercise
x_1 = 73.5 x_2 = 69.3
s_1 = 10.2 s_2 = 8.7
n_1 = 16 n_2 = 12
(a) Use a 0.025 significance level to test the claim that the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is larger than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly. Use the critical value method of hypothesis testing.

Using the critical value method we need to find a critical value in the t distribution who accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right and we got:

So then since our calculated value is lower then the critical value we fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is larger than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

represent the mean for sample of people who do not exercise

represent the mean for sample of people who do exercise

represent the sample standard deviation for 1  

represent the sample standard deviation for 2  

sample size for the group 1

sample size for the group 2

Significance level

t would represent the statistic

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is larger than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

The statistic for this case would be given by:

(1)  

The degrees of freedom are given by:

Replacing the info given we got:

Using the critical value method we need to find a critical value in the t distribution who accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right and we got:

So then since our calculated value is lower then the critical value we fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is larger than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.

the answer is b
