A running coach wants to know if participating in weekly running clubs significantly improves the time to run a mile. The runnin

g coach collects mean mile times for 42 runners who participate in weekly running clubs with 54 runners who do not run in clubs. The running coach measures times in January and June of the same year. All times are in seconds, and the runners all started with mile times between 8 minutes (480 seconds) and 9 minutes (540 seconds). Here are the results:
January June Change
Mean (seconds) StDev (seconds) Mean (seconds) StDev (seconds) Mean (seconds) StDev (seconds)
Running Club N = 42 530 28 520 23 10 4
Not in a Club N = 54 527 25 519 22 8 3
What is the best method for the running coach to use to determine if participating in weekly running clubs significantly improves the time to run a mile?
A) Use the difference in sample means (530 – 520) in a hypothesis test for a difference in two population means.
B) Use the difference in sample means (10 and 8) in a hypothesis test for a difference in two population means.
C) Use the sample mean 10 in a hypothesis test for a population mean.

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Use the difference in sample means (10 and 8) in a hypothesis test for a difference in two population means.

Step-by-step Explanation:

The clear, complete table For this question is presented in the attached image to this solution.

It should be noted that For this question, the running coach wants to test if participating in weekly running clubs significantly improves the time to run a mile.

In the data setup, the mean time to run a mile in January for those that participate in weekly running clubs and those that do not was provided.

The mean time to run a mile in June too is provided for those that participate in weekly running clubs and those that do not.

Then the difference in the mean time to run a mile in January and June for the two classes (those that participate in weekly running clubs and those that do not) is also provided.

Since, the aim of the running coach is to test if participating in weekly running clubs significantly improves the time to run a mile, so, it is logical that it is the improvements in running times for the two groups that should be compared.

Hence, we should use the difference in sample means (10 and 8) in a hypothesis test for a difference in two population means.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the value of x in simplest radical form?
Ostrovityanka [42]
In this case, we will use our Pythagorean Theorem.

a = 84
b = 13
c = x

\sqrt{84^2 + 13^2} = 85

Thus, x = 85.

givi [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure attached Jaxon is 10 blocks east and 5 blocks north.

So x-coordinates of Jaxon will be 10 units and y-coordinates will be 5 units.

and coordinates will be (10,5)

Similarly coordinates of Isaac will be defined by his distance towards west and distance towards south.

So x-coordinates will be 8 units and y-coordinates will be 15 units.

Therefore, coordinates of Isaac will be (-8,-15).

Solve for x in the equation x squared minus 12 x + 36 = 90. x = 6 plus-or-minus 3 StartRoot 10 EndRoot x = 6 plus-or-minus 2 Sta
goldenfox [79]

Answer: x = 6 plus-or-minus 3 StartRoot 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is expressed as

x² - 12x + 36 = 90

Rearranging the equation so that it takes the the standard form of

ax² + bx + c, it becomes

x² - 12x + 36 - 90 = 0

x² - 12x - 54 = 0

The general formula for solving quadratic equations is expressed as

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the equation given,

a = 1

b = - 12

c = - 54

Therefore,

x = [- - 12 ± √(- 12² - 4 × 1 × - 54)]/2 × 1

x = [12 ± √(144 + 216)]/2

x = [12 ± √360]/2

x = (12 ± 6√10)/2

x = 6 + 3√10

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

0.8759 is the probability that no less than 4 of the entry forms will include an order.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat subscription order with an entry form as a success.

P(subscription order with an entry form) = 0.4

Then the number subscription order with an entry form follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 14

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 4) =1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(x = 2) - P(x = 3) \\= 1 - (\binom{14}{0}(0.4)^0(1-0.4)^{14} + \binom{14}{1}(0.4)^1(1-0.4)^{13} + \binom{14}{2}(0.4)^2(1-0.4)^{12} + \binom{14}{3}(0.4)^3(1-0.4)^{11})\\=1-(0.0007+0.0074+0.0317+0.0846)\\= 0.8756

0.8759 is the probability that no less than 4 of the entry forms will include an order.
