A diet claims to help lose weight. A dietician wants to see if a particular diet helps lose weight. 120 people were on the diet for 6 months. After 6 months, the sample mean of weight loss was 0.8 pound with sample SD of 2 pounds. The distribution is more or less normal. What kind of hypothesis testing do we use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. t-test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

Options are "a. z-test for proportions, b. z-test for means, c. none of the other three answers, d. t-test for means"

Sample size = n = 120

Sample mean = x = 0.8

Sample standard deviation = s = 2

Claim: A particular diet helps loss weight.

Hypothesis test

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H0 : μ = 0

Ha : μ < 0

Now, when population standard deviation is unknown we use t-test otherwise use z-test. So, the kind of hypothesis testing that we use is t-test for means.

A singles tennis court measures (8x – 2) ft long and (3x – 3) ft wide.Which expression represents the area of the court?

Answers

Answer:

The expression that represents the area of the court is: [tex]24x^2 - 30x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle:

A rectangle has length l and width w. The area of a rectangle is:

[tex]A = lw[/tex]

A singles tennis court measures (8x – 2) ft long and (3x – 3) ft wide.

This means that [tex]l = 8x - 2, w = 3x - 3[/tex]

Which expression represents the area of the court?

The tennis court is rectangular, so

[tex]A = lw = (8x - 2)(3x - 3) = 24x^2 - 24x - 6x + 6 = 24x^2 - 30x + 6[/tex]

The expression that represents the area of the court is: [tex]24x^2 - 30x + 6[/tex]

Find the perimeter and total area of the composite shape shown below. All measurements are given in inches. Use pi equals 3.14 in any formulas used

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter = 65.12 in

Area = 292.48 in^2

which agrees with the second answer choice

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is going to be the addition of the sides of the rectangle external to the composite figure ( 12 + 16 + 12 = 40) PLUS the length of half of the circumference or radius 8 inches  (which is pi * radius = 3.14 * 8 = 25.12 in)

Then the total perimeter is:

Perimeter = 40 in + 25.12 in = 65.12 in

The are is going to be the area of the rectangle (12 * 16 = 192 square inches) PLUS the area of the semicircle of radius 8 in (pi *radius^2 /2 = 100.48 square inches).

Therefore the total area is:

Area = 192 + 100.48  = 292.48 in^2

A 16-oz bottle of parmesan cheese costs $5.78, while an 8-oz bottle costs $3.97. Which is the better buy? Round
your answer to the nearest cent if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The 16-oz bottle is a better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the better buy by finding which one has a lower price per ounce:

Calculate the price per ounce of both bottles by dividing the cost by the number of ounces

5.78/16

= 0.36

3.97/8

= 0.5

Since 0.36 is smaller than 0.5, the 16 ounce bottle is a better buy.

Answer:

The 16-oz bottle of parmesan cheese is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the better buy because, if you compare the prices and the ounces, I say that the 16-oz is the best buy.

(a) What is wrong with the following equation? x2 + x − 42 x − 6 = x + 7 (x − 6)(x + 7) ≠ x2 + x − 42 The left-hand side is not defined for x = 0, but the right-hand side is. The left-hand side is not defined for x = 6, but the right-hand side is. None of these — the equation is correct. (b) In view of part (a), explain why the equation lim x → 6 x2 + x − 42 x − 6 = lim x → 6 (x + 7) is correct. Since x2 + x − 42 x − 6 and x + 7 are both continuous, the equation follows. Since the equation holds for all x ≠ 6, it follows that both sides of the equation approach the same limit as x → 6. This equation follows from the fact that the equation in part (a) is correct. None of these — the equation is not correct.

Answers

Answer:

Attached please find answer

Step-by-step explanation:

= (x² + x - 42) / (x - 6)

= [x² + (7x - 6x) - 42] / (x - 6)

= [x² + 7x - 6x - 42] / (x - 6)

= [(x² + 7x) - (6x + 42)] / (x - 6)

= [x(x + 7) - 6(x + 7)] / (x - 6)

= [(x + 7)(x - 6)] / (x - 6)

= x + 7 → when x approches 6

= 6 + 7

= 13

Other method:

Lim   (x² + x - 42) / (x - 6)

x→ 6

When x → 6, there is an indeterminate expression because: 6 - 6 = 0

Do you know the l'Hôpital's rule, when x → a:

Lim [ f(x) / g(x) ] = Lim [ f'(x) / g'(x) ]

f(x) = x² + x - 42

f'(x) = 2x + 1

g(x) = x - 6

g'(x) = 1

= f'(x) / g'(x)

= (2x + 1)/1

= 2x + 1 → when x approches 6

= 12 + 1

= 13

Answer: y = 5/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is y = ax + b (a ≠ 0)

because the slope of the line is 5/2 => a = 5/2

               the line passes through (0; -4) => -4 = b

=> the equation is y = 5/2.x - 4

what is the equation for the line shown? picture attached. ​

Answers

the first one

slope is rise/run so from (2,-1) to (0,2) you go up 3 and over 2

so it’s (3/2)x

and the line is going down when looking at it from left to right so we know it’s negative

then the other number is where the line crosses the y axis, which is positive 2
