After seeing countless commercials claiming one can get cheaper car insurance from an online company, a local insurance agent was concerned that he might lose some customers. To investigate, he randomly selected profiles for 10 of his clients and checked online price quotes for their policies. Then, based on paired data on the 10 clients (the price he offered them and the corresponding online quote) and using Excel’s t-test for paired data, he obtained t-statistic = 0.709 p-value = 0.248 Note that the above is based on the difference between his price and online quotes.

What are the null and alternative hypotheses, respectively?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu_d[/tex] = 0

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]\mu_d\neq[/tex] 0    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a local insurance agent randomly selected profiles for 10 of his clients and checked online price quotes for their policies.

Then, based on paired data on the 10 clients (the price he offered them and the corresponding online quote), he obtained t-statistic = 0.709 p-value = 0.248.

Here , we will use the concept of Paired data test statistics because the prices that the local insurance agent offered and the corresponding online quotes are from the same single data. These information has not been taken from the two independent samples.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu_d[/tex] = 0    

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]\mu_d\neq[/tex] 0    

Here, null hypothesis states that there is no difference between the price he offered them and the corresponding online quote.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that there is difference between the price he offered them and the corresponding online quote.

Hence, this would be the correct null and alternative hypothesis.

Solve this system of equations.

2x + 6y = −6,

4x − 3y = −12


What is the solution to the system of equations?

Answers

Answer:

x = -3 and y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be more direct to apply elimination in this problem, rather than substitution:

  2x + 6y = -6       ⇒      2x + 6y = -6       ⇒      10x = - 30

+ 2(4x - 3y = -12)        +  8x - 6y = -24

Now let us solve for x through simply algebra:

10x = -30,

  x = -3

Substitute this value of x into the first equation to get the value of y:

2( -3 ) + 6y = -6,

-6 + 6y = -6,

  6y = 0,

    y = 0

Answer:

-3 and 0

State the hypotheses. The first step is to state the null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis: μNew< μOld

Alternative hypothesis: μNew > μOld

Note that these hypotheses constitute a one-tailed test. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the mean difference between sample means is too small.

Formulate an analysis plan. For this analysis, the significance level is 0.05. Using sample data, we will conduct a two-sample t-test of the null hypothesis.

Analyze sample data. Using sample data, we compute the standard error (SE), degrees of freedom (DF), and the t statistic test statistic (t).

[tex]SE=\sqrt{\frac{S_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{S_2^2}{n_2} } \\\\SE=4.29[/tex]

DF = 31

[tex]t = \frac{(x_1-x_2)-d}{SE} \\\\t = - 0.4997[/tex]

where s1 is the standard deviation of sample 1, s2 is the standard deviation of sample 2, n1 is the size of sample 1, n2 is the size of sample 2, x1 is the mean of sample 1, x2 is the mean of sample 2, d is the hypothesized difference between population means, and SE is the standard error.

The observed difference in sample means produced a t statistic of - 0.499. We use the t Distribution Calculator to find P(t < - 0.499) = 0.311

Therefore, the P-value in this analysis is 0.311.

Interpret results. Since the P-value (0.311) is greater than the significance level (0.05), we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

From the above test we do have sufficient evidence in the favor of the claim that new method is efficient than the old method.

the length of a rectangle is 4 unit less than the width. which expression represents the perimeter of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

Length: 11

Width: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W = width

Let L = length

 

Length is 4 less than 3 times the width  ==>  L = 3*W - 4  

 

Let P = Perimeter = 2*W + 2*L

 

Perimeter is 22 more than twice the width  ==>  P = 2*W + 22

 

Setting the 2 expressions for the perimeter equal to each other gives  

 

2*W + 2*L = 2*W + 22

2*L = 22

L = 11  

 

So 11 = 3*W - 4

3*W = 15

W = 5

 

The length is 11 and the width is 5  

 

Check:  3*W - 4 = 11 = Length

           Perimeter = 32 = 22 more than 2*5 = 10

A university found that 20% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course. Assume that 20 students registered for the course. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw. (b) Compute the probability that exactly 4 will withdraw. (c) Compute the probability that more than 3 will withdraw. (d) Compute the expected number of withdrawals.

Answer:

(a) Probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw is 0.2061.

(b) Probability that exactly 4 will withdraw is 0.2182.

(c) Probability that more than 3 will withdraw is 0.5886.

(d) The expected number of withdrawals is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a university found that 20% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course.

Assume that 20 students registered for the course.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

[tex]P(X =r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,......[/tex]

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 students

            r = number of success  

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability  

                  that students withdraw without completing the introductory  

                  statistics course, i.e; p = 20%

Let X = Number of students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20 , p = 0.20)

(a) Probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw is given by = P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 2)

P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 2) =  P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

=  [tex]\binom{20}{0} \times 0.20^{0} \times (1-0.20)^{20-0}+ \binom{20}{1} \times 0.20^{1} \times (1-0.20)^{20-1}+ \binom{20}{2} \times 0.20^{2} \times (1-0.20)^{20-2}[/tex]

=  [tex]1 \times1 \times 0.80^{20}+ 20 \times 0.20^{1} \times 0.80^{19}+ 190\times 0.20^{2} \times 0.80^{18}[/tex]

=  0.2061

(b) Probability that exactly 4 will withdraw is given by = P(X = 4)

                      P(X = 4) =  [tex]\binom{20}{4} \times 0.20^{4} \times (1-0.20)^{20-4}[/tex]

                                 =  [tex]4845\times 0.20^{4} \times 0.80^{16}[/tex]

                                 =  0.2182

(c) Probability that more than 3 will withdraw is given by = P(X > 3)

P(X > 3) =  1 - P(X [tex]\leq[/tex] 3) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

=  [tex]1-(\binom{20}{0} \times 0.20^{0} \times (1-0.20)^{20-0}+ \binom{20}{1} \times 0.20^{1} \times (1-0.20)^{20-1}+ \binom{20}{2} \times 0.20^{2} \times (1-0.20)^{20-2}+\binom{20}{3} \times 0.20^{3} \times (1-0.20)^{20-3})[/tex]

What is zero of a function?

Knowing what zeros represent can assist us in determining when and how to locate the zeros of functions given their expressions and a function's graph. The value of x when the function itself reaches zero is typically referred to as a function's zero.

A function's zero can take many different forms, but as long as they have a y-value of zero, we will consider them to be the function's zero.

Given Expression

f(x) = x³ + 9x² + 8x - 5

to find which is not a real zero,

condition of real zero is for any function f(a , b) if f(a).f(b) < 0 the function have at least a zero.

1: (-8, -7)

f(-8).f(-7) = [(-8)³ + 9(-8)² + 8(-8) - 5][(-7³)  + 9(-7)² + 8(-7) - 5]

f(-8).f(-7) = (-5)(37)

f(-8).f(-7) = -185 < 0 points  have at least a zero

2:  (4, 5)

f(4).f(5) = [(4)³ + 9(4)² + 8(4) - 5][(5³)  + 9(5)² + 8(5) - 5]

f(4).f(5) = 235 x 385

f(4).f(5) = 94,475 > 0

points do not have any zeros

3: (0, 1)

f(0).f(1) = [(0)³ + 9(0)² + 8(0) - 5][(1³)  + 9(1)² + 8(1) - 5]

f(0).f(1) = -5 x 13

f(0).f(1) = -65 < 0

points  have a zero

4: (–2, –1)

f(-2).f(-1) = [(-2)³ + 9(-2)² + 8(-2) - 5][(-1³)  + 9(-1)² + 8(-1) - 5]

The slope of the model,

m = 15.345

c = 24

After comparing with the equation,

⇒  [tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

we get,

⇒     [tex]=15.345x + 24[/tex]

The slope seems to be a positive value which also means that another always improves this as component decreases. Which ensures that perhaps the number of contributors rising as time went by.

So that the above is the right answer.

Find the mean, median, mode and range for each set of data. Calculator usage is encouraged!

Answer:

mean: 46.63636

median: 34

mode: 87

range:95

How To:

Step 1 : To find Mean

    Average = ( 1 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 10 ) / 6

             =36 / 6

    Mean = 6

Step 2 : To find Median

   Middle value = ( 5 + 7 ) / 2

               = 12 / 2

    Median = 6

Step 3 : To find Mode

   Mode = 5 (The number with more repetition, here 5 is repeated two times)

Step 4 : To find Range

    Range = Largest number - Smallest number

       = 10-1

       = 9

Range = 9

Answer:

Mean: 46.6

Mode: 87

Median: 34

Range: 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean: (finding the average)

Median: (the middle number of the data set)

Mode: (the most number repeated from the data set)

Range: (is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value)

first arrange the following data set.

23, 87, 19, 34, 37, 87, 81, 5, 14, 100, 26

so:

5, 14, 19, 23, 26, 34, 37, 81, 87, 87, 100

Lets us first find the mean by adding up all the numbers and dividing it by the amount of numbers in the data set.

Mean: 5 + 14 + 19 + 23 + 26 + 34 + 37 + 81 + 87 + 87 + 100 = 513/11 = 46.6

Mode: 87

Median: 34

Range: 100 - 5 = 95

A random sample of n = 45 observations from a quantitative population produced a mean x = 2.5 and a standard deviation s = 0.26. Your research objective is to show that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4. Calculate the p-value for the test statistic z = 2.58. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

P-value (t=2.58) = 0.0066.

Note: as we are using the sample standard deviation, a t-statistic is appropiate instead os a z-statistic.

As the P-value (0.0066) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=2.4\\\\H_a:\mu> 2.4[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=45.

The sample mean is M=2.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.26.

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

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.26}{\sqrt{45}}=0.0388[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2.5-2.4}{0.0388}=\dfrac{0.1}{0.0388}=2.58[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

[tex]df=n-1=45-1=44[/tex]

This test is a right-tailed test, with 44 degrees of freedom and t=2.58, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

[tex]P-value=P(t>2.5801)=0.0066[/tex]

As the P-value (0.0066) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.
