A professor has been teaching introductory statistics for many years and the final exam performance has been very consistent from class to class and the scores have been normally distributed. Overall, the whole data base (i.e. population) of final scores has a mean (μ) of 24 points (out of a maximum of 30 points) and a standard deviation (Ï) of 5 points. The professor would like to revise the course design to see if student performance on the final could be improved.

The new course design was implemented in the most recent academic year. There were 100 students and the average final exam score was 24.7. The professor would like to run a hypothesis test to see if this sample of students in the recent academic year performed significantly better than the past population. In other words, the hypothesis was a comparison between the population taking the course with the new design (represented by the sample of 100 students) with the population taking the course with the old design. The professor is predicting an increase of final score with the new design, so the hypotheses should be directional, and the test should be one-tailed. The significance level is set at α = .1.

Required:
a. Identify the dependent variable for this study.
b. State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis using both words and symbol notation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Independent variable - Design of the course

Dependent variable - Final score of the students

b)  H0 - Final score >24.7

Alternate hypothesis - Final score is less than or equal to 24.7

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Independent variable - Design of the course

Dependent variable - Final score of the students

b) Null Hypothesis : Performance of student taking course with the new design is better as compared to the population of student taking the course with the old design.

H0 - Final score >24.7

Alternate hypothesis - Final score is less than or equal to 24.7

Answers

Answer:

[tex]{ \bf{3 \frac{1}{5} \div \frac{8}{20} }} \\ = \frac{16}{5} \div \frac{8}{20} \\ { \boxed{ \tt{reciprocal \: of \: \frac{8}{20} = \frac{20}{8} }}} \\ \therefore \: = \frac{16}{5} \times \frac{20}{8} \\ = \frac{320}{40} \\ { \bf{ answer : 8}} \\ \\ {\underline{\tt {\blue{becker \: jnr}}}}

[/tex]

3 1/5 must first converted into 16/5
Then, we can change the division into multiplication by changing 8/20 into it’s reciprocal, 20/8.
This gives us 16/5 * 20/8.
We can then simplify this to 2/1 * 4/1
You then multiply the two fractions to get 8/1 which is equivalent to 8.

Price: 32.80
Sales Tax rate: 8.5%

Answers

Answer:

The new price of this thing you're buying is about $35.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new price you could find 8.5% of 32.80 then add it to 32.80. That would give you the new price, or you could simply find 108.5% of 32.80. That one has less steps, so Im going to go with that.

What is 108.5% of 32.80?

Let's set up an equation then solve.

108.5% · 32.80 = X

1.085 · 32.80 = 35.588

The new price of this thing you're buying is about $35.58.

Answer:

  21.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider rectangle PQRS. Its area is ...

  A = LW

  90 cm² = PQ×QR = PQ×(20 cm)

  (90 cm²)/(20 cm) = PQ = 4.5 cm . . . . . . BC has this value, too

__

Consider the perimeter of ABCD. It is given by ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  52 cm = 2(AB +BC) . . . . substitute known value for P

  26 cm = AB +4.5 cm . . . . use known value for BC, divide by 2

A researcher suspects that people who are abused as children tend to be more prone to severe depression as young adults. She prepares a questionnaire that measures depression and that also asks many personal questions about childhood experiences. Think about how an appropriate description of the purpose of this research would be written (to be read by subjects) in order to obtain their informed consent. You must balance the conflicting goals of not deceiving the subjects about what the questionnaire will tell about them and not biasing the sample by scaring off people with painful childhood experiences.Based on this criteria, which of the statements is an appropriate description of the purpose of the research, that would be read by subjects in order to obtain their informed consent? Pay close attention to the wording of each description. a. The purpose of this research is to study whether people who are abused as children tend to be more prone to severe depression as young adults. b. The purpose of this research is to study whether childhood abuse tends to cause severe depression in young adults. c. The purpose of this research is to study whether severe depression is a result of people having bad experiences in childhood. d. The purpose of this research is to study how childhood experiences are related to risk of depression. e. The purpose of this research is to study different experiences people have had in childhood.

Answers

Answer:

d. The purpose of this research is to study how childhood experiences are related to risk of depression.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer satisfies the requirements of the question as it uses mild language that will not scare off respondents while also maintaining transparency and truthfulness. This can be seen in wordings such as;

a. Childhood experiences: Instead of explicitly using the term child-hood abuse which can scare off respondents, this phrase uses a milder form of the word that is also not dishonest in itself.

b. Risk of depression: Instead of using heavy terms such as "severe depression," or shady terms like "bad expreciences," the phrase, "risk of depression," helps the subjects to honestly identify what the question is about in a mild way.

Step-by-step explanation:

total area: 6x(4+3)=42

total area excluding the space: 42-(2x3)=36

Answer:

36 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, I first construct a line. (shown in yellow in the first photo)

I then find the area of the top rectangle. (6 cm * 4 cm = 24 cm squared.)

Next, I find the area of the lower rectangle. But...to do that I have to find the length of the line that I constructed. To do this, I do  6cm-2cm=4cm.

Then I can find the area of the lower rectangle. (4cm*3cm=12cm squared.)

add up the area of both of the rectangles and.........12+24=36 cm squared

Triangle LMN is reflected on y = x and then translates to the left one unit. Which of the following graphs represents the sequence of transformations that maps triangle LMN onto its image?

Answers

The attached graph represents the sequence of transformations

How to determine the sequence?

The coordinates of the triangle LMN are

L = (-6, 1)

M = (-4, 3)

N = (-1, 1)

When reflected on y = x, we have:

L' = (1, -6)

M' = (3, -4)

N' = (1, -1)

When translated 1 unit left, we have:

L'' = (0, -6)

M' = (2, -4)

N' = (0, -1)
