A sample of single persons in Towson, Texas, receiving Social Security payments revealed these monthly benefits: $426, $299, $290, $687, $480, $439, and $565. (a) What is the median monthly benefit? (b) Is the mean you computed in (a) a statistic or a parameter? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Median Monthly Benefit = $439

b) The mean computed above is a STATISTIC. This is because, the mean of their monthly benefits ($455.14) was calculated from a SAMPLE (which could have been known or random) of single persons in Towson Texas.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given:

: $426, $299, $290, $687, $480, $439, and $565.

a) Median Monthly benefits

First we arrange the monthly benefits from the lowest to the highest

$290, $299, $426, $439, $480, $565, $687

Median Monthly Benefit is the number found in the middle of the Monthly benefits.

We were given 7 monthly benefit

$290, $299, $426,) $439, ($480, $565, $687

The median monthly benefit = $439

(b) Is the mean you computed in (a) a statistic or a parameter? Why?

The Mean Monthly Benefit = Sum of terms/Number of terms

Number of terms = 7

($290 + $299 + $426 + $439 + $480 + $565 + $687)/ 7

= $3186/7

= $455.14285714286

Approximately ≈$455.14

In the question we are asked if the Mean calculated or computed above is a Statistic or a Parameter.

The mean computed above is a STATISTIC. This is because, the mean of their monthly benefits ($455.14) was calculated from a SAMPLE (which could have been known or random) of single persons in Towson Texas.

Answers

Smaller t = 2

Larger t = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given function is.

Find the zeros of the function.

Solution:

Simplify the equation above equation.

Now, we first find the root of the above equation.

Use quadratic formula with .

Put a, b and c value in above equation.

For positive sign

t = 2

For negative sign

t = 5

Put t = 2 in given function.

Put t = 5 in given function.

So, the zeros of the function is t = 2 or 5

Therefore, the smaller value of t = 2 and larger value of t = 5.

Answers

Answer:

The P-value is 0.0234.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a statistics practitioner calculated the mean and the standard deviation from a sample of 400. They are x = 98 and s = 20.

Let = population mean.

So, Null Hypothesis, : = 100 {means that the population mean is equal to 100}

Alternate Hypothesis, : > 100 {means that the population mean is more than 100}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we're yet to know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = ~

where, = sample mean = 98

s = sample standard deviation = 20

n = sample size = 400

So, the test statistics = ~

= -2

The value of t-test statistics is -2.

Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

P( < -2) = 0.0234 {using the t-table}

Answers

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new algorithm has a lower mean completion time than the current algorithm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size for each algorithm is [tex]n_1 = n_2 = n = 61[/tex]

     The sample mean  for new algorithm is  [tex]\= x_1 = 14.06 \ hr[/tex]

     The  standard deviation for new algorithm is  [tex]\sigma _1 = 3.004 \ hr[/tex]

     The  sample  mean for  the current algorithm is  [tex]\= x_2 = 16.43 \ hr[/tex]

     The standard deviation for current algorithm is  [tex]\sigma _2 = 4.568[/tex]

     The  level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 = \mu _2[/tex]

The  alternative  hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu_1 < \mu_2[/tex]

Here  [tex]\mu _1 \ and \ \mu_2[/tex] are population mean for  new and current algorithm

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       [tex]Z = \frac{ \= x _1 - \= x_2 }{ \sqrt{\frac{ \sigma_1 ^2 }{n_1} + \frac{\sigma^2_2 }{ n_2}} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]Z = \frac{ 14.06 - 16.43 }{ \sqrt{\frac{ 3.004^2 }{61} + \frac{4.568^2 }{ 61}} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]Z = -3.39[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

     [tex]p-value = P(Z < -3.39 )[/tex]

From the  z-table  

             [tex]P(Z < -3.39 ) = 0.0003[/tex]

=>    [tex]p-value = P(Z < -3.39 ) = 0.0003[/tex]

From the calculated value  we see that  [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex]  hence the null hypothesis is rejected

        Hence we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new algorithm has a lower mean completion time than the current algorithm

Answers

Answer:

Neither, they increase by the exact same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the first data set you have a mean of 50 and a median value of 50 as well because to find a median of an even set of numbers you take the two middle values and average them together, in this case being 35 and 65 averaging out to 50. Adding 155 to this data set increases the mean to 65 and the median value to 65 as well, making this a trick question because the increase is the exact same.

The flow rate in a device used for air quality measurement depends on the pressure drop x (inches of water) across the device's filter. Suppose that for x values between 5 and 20, these two variables are related according to the simple linear regression model with true regression line y = -0.17 + 0.095x.
A) What is the true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 10 in. and drop of 15 in.?
B) What is the true average change in flow rate associated with a 1 inch increase in pressure drop?
C) What is the average change in flow rate when pressure drop decreases by 5 in.?

Answers

Answer:

A. 0.78 and 1.255.

B.  0.095

C. -0.475

Step-by-step explanation:

The given regression line is

y=-0.17+0.095x

A.

The true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 10 inch can be computed by putting x=10 in above equation.

y=-0.17+0.095*10

y=-0.17+0.95

y=0.78

The true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 10 inch is 0.78.

The true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 15 inch can be computed by putting x=15 in above equation.

y=-0.17+0.095*15

y=-0.17+1.425

y=1.255

The true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 15 inch is 1.255.

B.

The slope represents average change in y due to unit change in x.

So, the true average change in flow rate associated with a 1 inch increase in pressure drop is 0.095(1)= 0.095.

C.

When pressure drops decreases by 5 in. then the average change in flow rate is 0.095(-5)=-0.475.

The flow rate in the device is an illustration of average rates.

The true average flow rates when pressure drops 10 and 15 in are 0.78 and 1.255 respectivelyThe true average flow rates associated to a 1 in pressure increment is 0.095A decrement of -5 in is out of the domain of the function

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = -0.17 + 0.095x}[/tex]

(a) The true average flow rate when pressure drops 10 and 15 in

When x = 10, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y = -0.17 + 0.095 \times 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 0.78}[/tex]

When x = 15, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y = -0.17 + 0.095 \times 15}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 1.255}[/tex]

Hence, the true average flow rates when pressure drops 10 and 15 in are 0.78 and 1.255 respectively

(b) The true average flow rate when pressure increases by 1 in

This simply represents the slope of the function.

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = -0.17 + 0.095x}[/tex]

A linear regression equation is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = b + mx}[/tex]

Where m represents the slope

By comparison:

[tex]\mathbf{m = 0.095}[/tex]

Hence, the true average flow rates associated to a 1 in pressure increment is 0.095

(c) The average change in flow rate when pressure drops decreases by 5 in

The domain of the function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 5\ to\ 20}[/tex]

A decrement of -5 in means: x = -5

This is out of the domain of the function

Hence, the average change at a decrement of 5 in cannot be calculated
