A study was designed to compare the attitudes of two groups of nursing students towards computers. Group 1 had previously taken

a statistical methods course that involved significant computer interaction. Group 2 had taken a statistic methods course that did not use computers. The students' attitudes were measured by administering the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS). 1. A random sample of 11 nursing students from Group 1 resulted in a mean score of 63.3 with a standard deviation of 3.7. A random sample of 13 nursing students from Group 2 resulted in a mean score of 70.2 with a standard deviation of 6.6. Can you conclude that the mean score for Group 1 is significantly lower than the mean score for Group 2? 2. Let μ1 represent the mean score for Group 1 and μ2 represent the mean score for Group 2. Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.A: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
B: Compute the value of the t test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places
C: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0. Round your answer to three decimal places. Reject or fail to reject your hypothesis?

Answer:

a. H0:μ1≥μ2

Ha:μ1<μ2

b. t=-3.076

c. Rejection region=[tcalculated<−1.717]

Reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As the score for group 1 is lower than group 2,

Null hypothesis: H0:μ1≥μ2

Alternative hypothesis: H1:μ1<μ2

b) t test statistic for equal variances

t=(xbar1-xbar2)-(μ1-μ2)/sqrt[{1/n1+1/n2}*{((n1-1)s1²+(n2-1)s2²)/n1+n2-2}

t=63.3-70.2/sqrt[{1/11+1/13}*{((11-1)3.7²+(13-1)6.6²)/11+13-2}

t=-6.9/sqrt[{0.091+0.077}{136.9+522.72/22}]

t=-3.076

c. α=0.05, df=22

t(0.05,22)=-1.717

The rejection region is t calculated<t critical value

t<-1.717

We can see that the calculated value of t-statistic falls in rejection region and so we reject the null hypothesis at 5% significance level.

A 3.00-g copper penny at 25.0°C drops from a height of50.0 m to the ground. (
Gnoma [55]
The potential energy, E, of the penny is given by E=mgh.  The energy, Q, required to raise the temperature of an object by an amount ΔT is given by Q=mcΔT.  We can equate these two to get the result but we must use proper units and include the 60%:
(0.6)mgh=mcΔT
We see we can divide out the mass from each side
0.6gh=cΔT,   then 0.6gh/c=ΔT
(0.6)9.81(m/s²)50m/385(J/kg°C) = 0.7644°C
since this is the change in temperature and it started at 25°C we get
T=25.7644°C
As you can see the result does not depend on mass.  The more massive the copper object the more potential energy it will have to contribute to the heat energy, but the more stuff there will be to heat up, and the effect is that the mass cancels.

A scuba diver used the expression below to describe his position in relation to sea level.
Ipatiy [6.2K]
2 + (-20) + 8.....when sea level is 0.

starting on a platform 2 ft above sea level....so it is 2
dive down 20 ft....so this is below sea level...so it is -20
rise 8 ft...so it is 8

so ur answer is : 2nd answer choice

A retail store offers all television sets at 80%, or , of their original price if the customer buys a store membership for $100.
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let X = be the amount the amount that new customer will have to pay X = 0.8P + 100 Given that the television is $1500, the discounted price is $1200. But the customer will have to pay the membership of $100. Therefore the total amount is $1300.
