(b) Determine the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 20.

(c) Determine the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 14.

(a) 1.341

(b) -2.539

(c) -2.160 and 2.160

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) We have to find the critical value(s) for a right-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.10 level of significance with 15 degrees of freedom.

Since the degrees of freedom are included here, so we will use t table here for a population mean test.

In the table there are two values given, one is the degrees of freedom and another is the value of P.

P is the level of significance at which the critical values are calculated.

So, here the degrees of freedom (n - 1) = 15 and the level of significance for a right-tailed test is 0.10, i.e. P = 10%

Now, looking in the t table with P = 10% and = 15, we get the critical value of 1.341.

(b) We have to find the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.01 based on a sample size of n = 20.

Since the degrees of freedom are included here, so we will use t table here for a population mean test.

In the table there are two values given, one is the degrees of freedom and another is the value of P.

P is the level of significance at which the critical values are calculated.

So, here the degrees of freedom (n - 1) = 20 - 1 = 19 and the level of significance for a left-tailed test is 0.01, i.e. P = 1%

Now, looking in the t table with P = 1% and = 19, we get the critical value of 2.539. But since it is a left-tailed test, so the critical value will be -2.539.

(c) We have to find the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 14.

Since the degrees of freedom are included here, so we will use t table here for a population mean test.

In the table there are two values given, one is the degrees of freedom and another is the value of P.

P is the level of significance at which the critical values are calculated.

So, here the degrees of freedom (n - 1) = 14 - 1 = 13 and the level of significance for a two-tailed test is is 0.025, i.e. P = 2.5%.

Now, looking in the t table with P = 2.5% and = 13, we get the critical value of -2.160 and 2.160 for a two-tailed test.

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
