Answer:

The correct conclusion is:

<em>"The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches."</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A doctor is measuring the average height of male students at a large college.

The doctor measures the heights, in inches, of a sample of 40 male students from the baseball team.

Using this data, the doctor calculates the 95% confidence interval (63.5, 74.4).

The following conclusions is valid:

<em>"The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches."</em>

Since we know that the confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.  

For the given case, the confidence level is 95% and the corresponding confidence interval is (63.5, 74.4) which represents the true mean of heights for male students at the college where the doctor measured heights.

Therefore, it is valid to conclude that the doctor is 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is within the interval of (63.5, 74.4).

Mama L [17]

A quadratic equation has either two different real roots, one real root, or two conjugate complex roots (this is the case when the discriminant is negative, i.e. when you have no real roots).

Two conjugate complex roots have the same real part and opposite imaginary parts. So, the solutions to Amina's equation will be in this form:

a+bi,\ \ a-bi

For some a,b\in\mathbb{R},\ b\neq 0

Leah loves chicken wings and is comparing the deals at three different restaurants. Buffalo Bills has 888 wings for \$7$7dollar
ella [17]

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Bills = 8 wings for $7

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Bills = \frac{7}{8} =0.875

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Mild Wings = 12 wings for $10

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Mild Wings = \frac{10}{12}= 0.833

Cost of chicken wings at Wingers = 20 wings at $17

Cost of 1 wing at Wingers = \frac{17}{20}= 0.850

Hence, comparing all the three costs per wing, we can see that Buffalo Mild Wings is serving chicken wings at lowest price of $0.833 per wing.

A member of a student team playing an interactive marketing game received the fol- lowing computer output when studying the rela

Answer:

p_v = 2*P(t_{n-2} > |t_{calc}|)= 0.91

So on this case for the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v >\alpha so then we can conclude that the result is NOT significant. And we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

So on this case is not appropiate say that :"the more we spend on advertising this product, the fewer units we sell" since the slope for this case is not significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that we have the following linear model:

y= \beta_o +\beta_1 X

Where Y is the dependent variable and X the independent variable. \beta_0 represent the intercept and \beta_1 the slope.  

In order to estimate the coefficients \beta_0 ,\beta_1 we can use least squares procedure.  

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \beta_1 = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \beta_1 \neq 0

Or in other words we want to check is our slope is significant (X have an effect in the Y variable )

In order to conduct this test we are assuming the following conditions:

a) We have linear relationship between Y and X

b) We have the same probability distribution for the variable Y with the same deviation for each value of the independent variable

c) We assume that the Y values are independent and the distribution of Y is normal  

The significance level assumed on this case is \alpha=0.05

The standard error for the slope is given by this formula:

SE_{\beta_1}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{\sum (y_i -\hat y_i)^2}{n-2}}}{\sqrt{\sum (X_i -\bar X)^2}}

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by df=n-2 since we need to estimate the value for the slope and the intercept.  

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\hat \beta_1}{SE_{\beta_1}}

The p value on this case would be given by:

p_v = 2*P(t_{n-2} > |t_{calc}|)= 0.91

So on this case for the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v >\alpha so then we can conclude that the result is NOT significant. And we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

So on this case is not appropiate say that :"the more we spend on advertising this product, the fewer units we sell" since the slope for this case is not significant.
