A principle at a certain high school claims that the students in her school are above average in SAT. She collects a random sample of 50 students and given an SAT test that provided with a mean score of 541. Is there sufficient evidence statistically to support the principal’s claim? The mean population SAT score is 500 with a standard deviation of 100. SAT scores are normally distributed. Please show all the steps involved in a hypothesis testing including proper statistical symbols, formula used, and report/interpret results in complete sentences.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is sufficient evidence to support the principal’s claim.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if they are not above average, that is, their mean is of 500 or below, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 500[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they are above average, that is, their mean is of more than 500, hence:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 500[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the population, thus, the z-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 541, \mu = 500, \sigma = 100, n = 50[/tex]

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{541 - 500}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.9[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with the standard 0.05 significance level, is of [tex]z^{\ast} = 1.645[/tex].

Since the value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is sufficient evidence to support the principal’s claim.

a family buys 6 airline tickets online. the family buys travel insurance that costs 18 per ticket. the total cost is 1,044

Answers

Answer:

936

A bank loaned out $30,500, part of it at the rate of 5% annual interest, and the rest at 4% annual interest. The total interest earned for both loans was $1,405.00. How much was loaned at each rate?

$What was loaned at 5% and

$ What was loaned at 4%.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know the bank loaned part of the $17,500 at a 4% interest rate. Lets call this loan amount x. Then the rest of the 17,500 was loaned at a 9% interest rate. Whatever this amount was, we can define it as 17,500 - x. We also know that the total interest earned was $1,100. With this information, we can form the following equation:

.04(x) + .09(17500 - x) = 1100

Multiply the .09 times the inside of the parentheses:

.04x + 1575 - .09x = 1100

Simplify:

-.05x + 1575 = 1100

-.05x = -475

x = 9500

Since x is originally the amount loaned at the 4% interest rate, we know that $9,500 was loaned at a 4% interest rate.

To figure out the other amount loaned at 9%, simply subtract 9,500 from 17,500 -- this gets us 8,000. So $8,000 was loaned at a 9% interest rate.

Given the function f(x) = 2(3)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.

Part A: Find the average rate of change of each section. (4 points)
Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points)

(10 points)

Answers

Part A:

To find the average rate of change, let us first write out the equation to find it.

Δy/Δx = average rate of change.  

Finding average rate of change for Section A

Δy = f(1) - f(0) = 2(3)^1 - 2(3)^0 = 6 - 1 = 5

Δx = 1- 0 = 1

Plug the numbers in: Δy/Δx = 5/1 = 5

Therefore, the average rate of change for Section A is 5.  

Finding average rate of change for Section B

Δy = f(3) - f(2) = 2(3)^3 - 2(3)^2 = 2(27) - 2(9) = 54 - 18 = 36

Δx = 3 - 2 = 1

Plug the numbers in: Δy/Δx = 36/1 = 36

Therefore, the average rate of change for Section B is 36.  

Part B:

(a) How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A?

If Section B is on the interval [2,3] and Section A is on the interval [0,1].  

For the function f(x) = 2(3)^x, the average rate of change of Section B is 7.2 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A.  

(b) Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other.  

Since f(x) = 2(3)^x is an exponential function the y values do not increase linearly, instead increase exponentially. In an interval with smaller x values the rate of change is lower than an interval with larger x values.

The value of a share of stock on the stock market decreased by 14%. If it used to be worth $102.64, what is it worth now? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The share of stock is $88.33 worth now which is the value of a share of stock on the stock market decreased by 14%.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

For example, If Saima obtained a score of 57% on her exam, that corresponds to 67 out of 100. It is expressed as 57/100 in fractional form and as 57:100 in ratio form.

The value of a share of stock on the stock market decreased by 14%. If it used to be worth $102.64 which is given in the question.

We have to determine the evaluation of 15% of 60.

⇒ 14% of $102.64

15%  is expressed as 15/100 in fractional form

⇒ (14/100)(102.64)

15/100  is expressed as 0.15 in decimal form

⇒ (0.14)(102.64)

Apply the multiplication operation, and we get

⇒ 14.31

Therefore, 14% of $102.64 would be $14.31.

The share of stock is worth now: $102.64 - $14.31 = $88.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

As they are similar triangles

24/AB = 24/2AD = 12/AD = (x + 2)/AD

12 = x + 2

x = 10

(y + 6) + (x - 3) / 24 = (y + 6)/(x + 2)

(y + 6) + (10 - 3) / 24 = (y + 6)/(10 + 2)

             (y + 13) / 24 = (y + 6)/12

                 12(y + 13) = 24(y + 6)

                12y + 156 = 24y + 144

                          12y = 12

Power Rules

There are different power rules one of them is the negative exponent. For this rule when you have a negative exponent, you need to invert the number, i.e, the power base is converted to the denominator. After that, you should solve the power with a positive exponent.  See the  examples:

[tex]5^{-3}=(\frac{1}{5})^3=\frac{1}{125} \\ \\ \\ {\frac{4}{6} }^{-2}={\frac{6}{4} }^2=\frac{36}{16}[/tex]

Graph the line with a slope of −1 that contains the point (3,6)?

Answers

Answer:

y=-x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer above is written in slope-intercept form because it is the easiest form to graph (in my opinion); slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. However, to get the answer, you must first use slope-point. Slope-point is [tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/tex]. So, plug in the point and slope into the formula. This gives the equation, y-6=-1(x-3). Then, solve the equation for the answer of y=-x+9.

On a graph, the y-intercept will be 9. So, the line will cross the y-axis at a value of 9. Additionally, the slope is -1. So, y will increase by one and x will decrease by one. This means that the line will look like it decrease left to right.
