Mineral deposits in diamond mines are measured in percentages. Scientists study these deposits by drilling two identical holes simultaneously at different locations. An important question in this study is whether there is a difference in the true means of deposits in the two holes. A sample of data from 15 pairs of holes are collected and presented below. Use an appropriate hypothesis test with 90% reliability to determine whether there is a difference in mean mineral deposits in the two holes. Location 1st Hole 2nd hole
1 5.5 5.7
2 11.0 11.2
3 5.9 6.0

6 7.9 7.0
7 10.1 8.4

At a significance level of 0.1 (90% reliability), there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference in mean mineral deposits in the two holes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a matched-pair t-test for the difference.

We have to calculate the difference d for each pair, and then treat his as the sample for our test.

For example, the difference for the first pair is:

$d_1=X_{1h,1}-X_{2h,1}=5.5-5.7=-0.2$

Then, the sample for the differences between each pair is:

d=[-0.2 , -0.2 , -0.1 , 2.6 , 0.7 , 0.9 , 1.7 , -1.6 , 1 , 1.1 , -1.7 , -0.3 , 0.1 , -1.5 , -1.2]

The sample mean and standard deviation are:

$M=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{15}((-0.2)+(-0.2)+(-0.1)+. . .+(-1.2))\\\\\\M=\dfrac{1.3}{15}\\\\\\M=0.09\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{14}((-0.2-0.09)^2+(-0.2-0.09)^2+(-0.1-0.09)^2+. . . +(-1.2-0.09)^2)}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{22.38}{14}}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{1.6}=1.26\\\\\\$

The claim is that there is significant difference in mean mineral deposits in the two holes.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=0\\\\H_a:\mu 0$

The significance level is 0.1.

The sample has a size n=15.

The sample mean is M=0.09.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=1.26.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

$s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.26}{\sqrt{15}}=0.325$

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

$t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.09-0}{0.325}=\dfrac{0.09}{0.325}=0.277$

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=15-1=14

This test is a right-tailed test, with 14 degrees of freedom and t=0.277, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

$\text{P-value}=P(t0.277)=0.393$

As the P-value (0.393) is bigger than the significance level (0.1), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

At a significance level of 0.1, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is significant difference in mean mineral deposits in the two holes.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

(c) compare the results of parts (a) and (b). in general, how do you think the mode, median, and mean are affected when each data value in a set is multiplied by the same constant? multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean increasing by a factor of c. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean remaining the same. multiplying each data value by the same constant c results in the mode, median, and mean decreasing by a factor of c. there is no distinct pattern when each data value is multiplied by the same constant. (d) suppose you have information about average heights of a random sample of airline passengers. the mode is 65 inches, the median is 72 inches, and the mean is 65 inches. to convert the data into centimeters, multiply each data value by 2.54. what are the values of the mode, median, and mean in centimeters? (enter your answers to two decimal places.) mode cm median cm mean cm in this problem, we explore the effect on the mean, median, and mode of multiplying each data value by the same number. consider the following data set 7, 7, 8, 11, 15.
