Dr. Pagels is a mammalogist who studies meadow and common voles. He frequently traps the moles and has noticed what appears to be a preference for a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture by the meadow voles vs apple slices are usually used in traps, where the common voles seem to prefer the appe slices. So he conducted a study where he used a peanut butten oatmeal mixture in half the traps and the normal apple slices in his remaining traps to see if there was a food preference between the two different votes
Indicate which of the following is the null hypothesis, and which is the alternate hypothesis
a. There food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.
b. There is a relationship between voles and food preference.
c. To test for independence, we need to calculate the Chi-square statistic.
These are the data that Dr. Pagels collected
meadow voles common voles
apple slices 15 21
peanut butter-oatmeal 25 16
Answer:
The food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: The food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.
Hₐ: There is a relationship between voles and food preference.
The data provided is:
meadow voles common voles
apple slices 15 21
peanut butter-oatmeal 25 16
A Chi-square test for the Goodness of fit will be used.
The expected values are computed using the formula:
[tex]E_{i}=\frac{\text{ith Row Total}\times \text{jth Column Total}}{N}[/tex]
Consider the Excel sheet attached.
The Chi-square statistic value is 2.861.
Compute the degrees of freedom as follows:
df = (r - 1)(c - 1)
= (2 - 1)(2 - 1)
= 1
Compute the p-value as follows:
[tex]p-value=P(\chi^{2}_{(1)}>2.861)=\text{CHISQ.DIST.RT(2.861,1)}=0.091[/tex]
The p-value = 0.091 > α = 0.05
The null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Thus, it can be concluded that the food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

The SAT is required of most students applying for college admission in the United States. This standardized test has gone through many revisions over the years. In 2005, a new writing section was introduced that includes a direct writing measure in the form of an essay. People argue that female students generally do worse on math tests but better on writing tests. Therefore, the new section may help reduce the usual male lead on the overall average SAT score (The Washington Post, August 30, 2006). Consider the following scores on the writing component of the test of eight male and eight female students.

Required:
a. Construct the null and the alternative hypotheses to test if females outscore males on writing tests.
b. Assuming the difference in scores is normally distributed, calculate the value of the test statistic. Do not assume that the population variances are equal.
c. Implement the test at α=0.01 and interpret your results.
Answer:\
a
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]
b
[tex]t = -0.39[/tex]
c
The conclusion
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the female outscores the male.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size for male is [tex]n_1 = 30[/tex]
The sample size for female is [tex]n_2 = 30[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]
Generally the sample mean for male is
[tex]\= x_1 = \frac{\sum x_i}{n_1}[/tex]
=> [tex]\= x_1 = \frac{620 + 570 +540 + \cdots + 580 }{30}[/tex]
=> [tex]\= x_1 = 574.33 [/tex]
Generally the standard deviation of male is
[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_1 - \= x)^2}{n_1} }[/tex]
=> [tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (620 - 574.33)^2 + (570 - 574.33)^2 + (540 - 574.33)^2 + \cdots +(580 - 574.33)^2 }{30} }[/tex]
=> [tex]s_1 =206.24 [/tex]
Generally the sample mean for female is
[tex]\= x_2 = \frac{\sum x_i}{n_2}[/tex]
=> [tex]\= x_2 = \frac{660 + 590 +560 + \cdots + 560 }{30}[/tex]
=> [tex]\= x_2 = 593.33 [/tex]
Generally the standard deviation of male is
[tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_1 - \= x)^2}{n_2} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (660 - 593.33)^2 + (590 - 593.33)^2 + (560 - 593.33 )^2 + \cdots +(560 - 593.33)^2 }{30} }[/tex]
=> [tex]s_2 =169.31 [/tex]
Generally the degree of freedom for unequal variance is mathematically represented as
[tex]df = \frac{[\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{s_2^2}{n_2} ]^2}{ \frac{[\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}]^2}{n_1 -1} +\frac{[\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}]^2}{n_2 -1} }[/tex]
=> [tex]df = \frac{[\frac{206.24^2}{30} +\frac{169.31^2}{30} ]^2}{ \frac{\frac{206.24^2}{30}}{30 -1} +\frac{\frac{169.31^2}{30}}{30 -1} }[/tex]
=>[tex]df = 56[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x _1- \= x_2 }{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{574.33- 593.33 }{\sqrt{\frac{206.24^2}{30} + \frac{169.31^2}{30}} }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -0.39[/tex]
From the t distribution table the value of [tex]P(t < -0.39)[/tex] at a degree of freedom of [tex]df = 56[/tex] is
[tex]P(t < -0.39) = 0.3490080[/tex]
Hence the p-value is [tex]p-value = 0.3490080[/tex]
From the values obtained we see that the p-value is >[tex]\alpha[/tex]
Hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
The conclusion is
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the female outscores the male

£525
£163
£195
£174
£140
What is the range of these wages?
What is the mean wage?
Answer:
range is 525-140=385
The mean of a set of numbers is the sum divided by the number of terms. Mean= 226
Step-by-step explanation:
hope that helper, have a good one
Range = 525 - 140 = 385
Mean =
[tex](140 + 140 + 163 + 174 + 195 + 254 + 525) \div 7 = 226[/tex]

28
Step-by-step explanation:
35/5 ÷ -3/4
=7÷ (-3/4)

the minus is already placed in the question, that makes the answer 28 without the minus
Find the coordinates of the midpoint of LB if L(8, 5) and B(-6, 2)
Answer:
The coordinates of the midpoint of LB are (1, 3.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of the midpoint of a segment its endpoints are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is [tex]M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})[/tex]
Let us use this rule to solve the question
∵ M is the midpoint of segment LB
∵ The coordinates of point L are (8, 5)
∴ x1 = 8 and y1 = 5
∵ The coordinates of point B are (-6, 2)
∴ x2 = -6 and y2 = 2
→ Substitute these values in the rule of the mid point above
∵ [tex]M=(\frac{8+-6}{2},\frac{5+2}{2})[/tex]
→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)
∴ [tex]M=(\frac{8-6}{2},\frac{7}{2})[/tex]
∴ [tex]M=(\frac{2}{2},\frac{7}{2})[/tex]
∴ M = (1, 3.5)
∴ The coordinates of the midpoint of LB are (1, 3.5)
An object is moving at a speed of 6 miles per month. Express this speed in feet per hour.
Answer:
44 ft/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we convert miles to feet.
6 mi*5280 = 31680 feet
Now we convert a month to hours. For this question, lets say that a month is equal to 30 days.
30*24 hrs = 720 hrs
Now we have this speed -
31680 ft/720 hrs
Now we simplify this to -
44 ft/hr
So in conclusion, the speed of 6 miles per month is equivalent to the speed of 44 feet per hour.
