An extensive study of the cost of health care in the U.S. showed that the mean annual spending per Medicare enrollee was $6,883. To investigate the differences across the country, a researcher took a sample of 40 Medicare enrollees in Indianapolis. For the Indianapolis sample, the mean annual Medicare spending was $5,980 and the standard deviation was $2,518. Using a level of significance of 3%, test to see if the mean annual Medicare spending in Indianapolis is lower than the national mean. Interpret your result.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Given :

[tex]$\mu = 6883$[/tex]

[tex]$s=2518$[/tex]

n = 40

[tex]$\overline x = 5980$[/tex]

Therefore, determining the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis is :

[tex]$H_0: \mu = 6883$[/tex]

[tex]$H_a: \mu < 6883$[/tex]

The value of the test statistics is :

[tex]$t=\frac{\overline x - \mu}{s/\sqrt n}$[/tex]

[tex]$t=\frac{5980 - 6883}{2518/\sqrt 40}$[/tex]

[tex]$t \approx -2.27$[/tex]

So, df =  n - 1

          = 40 - 1

          = 39

∴  0.01 < P < 0.025

If the P value is less than α = 0.03, we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we conclude that mean annual Medicare spending in Indianapolis is lower than the national mean.

Using the value of [tex]$\alpha = 0.03$[/tex], the critical value of for the test statistics is 2.17

There we reject the null hypothesis. And thus we conclude that the mean annual Medicare spending in Indianapolis is lower than the national mean.

What is its domain?
What is its range?

Write the answer in interval notation.

Answers

Answers:

Domain = [-3, 3]

Range = [-1, 2]

=============================================

Explanation:

The domain is the set of all allowed x inputs. Visually, the left-most point is when x = -3, so -3 is the smallest allowed x input. We have a closed circle at this endpoint, so this endpoint x value is included. In contrast, if you had an open circle, then you would exclude the endpoint.

Similarly, we have a closed endpoint at the other side as well when x = 3. This is the largest allowed x value. The domain is the set of x values such that [tex]-3 \le x \le 3[/tex] meaning x is between -3 and 3, including both endpoints. This translates to the interval notation of [-3, 3]. The square brackets say "include the endpoint".

------------

The range is the set of possible y outputs of a function. The lowest the function goes is when y = -1, and the highest is when y = 2. We include both endpoints. The range as a compound inequality is [tex]-1 \le y \le 2[/tex] which converts to the interval notation of [-1, 2]

A statewide real estate sales agency, Farm Associates, specializes in selling farm property in the state of Nebraska. Its records indicate that the mean selling time of farm property is 90 days. Because of recent drought conditions, the agency believes that the mean selling time is now greater than 90 days. A statewide survey of 100 farms sold recently revealed that the mean selling time was 94 days, with a standard deviation of 22 days.

Required:
At the 0.10 significance level, has there been an increase in selling time?

Answers

Answer:

The right answer is "1.818".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

a = 0.1

[tex]\bar{x} = 94[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 90[/tex]

Now,

The test statistic will be:

⇒  [tex]t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{s}{vn} }[/tex]

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒     [tex]=\frac{94-90}{\frac{22}{10} }[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=\frac{4}{2.2}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=1.818[/tex]
