A recent survey of 8,000 high school students found that the mean price of a prom dress was $195.00 with a standard deviation of

$12.00. Alyssa thinks that her school is more fashion conscious and spent more than $195.00. She collected data from 20 people in her high school and found that the average price spent on a prom dress was $208.00. Which of the following is the correct z-statistic for this situation?

To calculate the z-statistic, we must first calculate the standard error.

Standard error is standard deviation divided by the square root of the population. In this case, it is equal to 2.68.

The z-score is defined the distance from the sample to the population mean in units of standard error.

z = (195 – 208)/2.68 = -4.86

A simple random sample of 100 concert tickets was drawn from a normal population. The mean and standard deviation of the sample

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

We accept the null hypothesis and the population mean is $120.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 100

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = $120

Alpha, α = 0.01

Sample standard deviation, s = $25

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 125\\H_A: \mu \neq 125$

We use two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = -2.0$

p-value one tail= 0.024

p-value two tail= 0.048

Conclusion:

Since the p-value for two tailed test is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept it.

Thus, the population mean is $120.

Answer:

We need a non-included side of one triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

By means of the AAS postulate.

The Angle-Angle-Side postulate (AAS) tells us that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Suppose you are told that a distribution is said to be approximately normal because outliers have skewed the data. List the poss

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Outline are values which are entirely different from those remaining values in a data set. These extreme values can skew an approximately normal distribution by skewing the distribution in the direction of the outliers and this makes it difficult for the data set to be analyzed.

Its effect is such that the mean becomes extremely sensitive to extreme outliers making it possible that the mean is this not a representative of the population and this theoretically affects the standard deviation.

The heat evolved in calories per gram of a cement mixture is approximately normally distributed. The mean is thought to be 100,

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A.the type 1 error probability is $\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }$

B. β = 0.0122

C. β = 0.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = 100

standard deviation = 2

sample size = 9

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

$\mathtt{H_o: \mu = 100}$

$\mathtt{H_1: \mu \neq 100}$

A. If the acceptance region is defined as $98.5 < \overline x > 101.5$ , find the type I error probability $\alpha$ .

Assuming the critical region lies within $\overline x < 98.5$ or $\overline x > 101.5$ , for a type 1 error to take place, then the sample average x will be within the critical region when the true mean heat evolved is $\mu = 100$

∴

$\mathtt{\alpha = P( type \ 1 \ error ) = P( reject \ H_o)}$

$\mathtt{\alpha = P( \overline x < 98.5 ) + P( \overline x > 101.5 )}$

when $\mu = 100$

$\mathtt{\alpha = P \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} < \dfrac{\overline 98.5 - 100}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \end {pmatrix} + \begin {pmatrix}P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} > \dfrac{101.5 - 100}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \end {pmatrix} }$

$\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z < \dfrac{-1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} ) + P(Z > \dfrac{1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }$

$\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z 2.25) }$

$\mathtt{\alpha = P ( Z$

From the standard normal distribution tables

$\mathtt{\alpha = 0.0122+( 1- 0.9878) })$

$\mathtt{\alpha = 0.0122+( 0.0122) })$

$\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }$

Thus, the type 1 error probability is $\mathbf{\alpha = 0.0244 }$

B. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 103.

The probability of type II error is represented by β. Type II error implies that we fail to reject null hypothesis $\mathtt{H_o}$

Thus;

β = P( type II error) - P( fail to reject $\mathtt{H_o}$ )

∴

$\mathtt{\beta = P(98.5 \leq \overline x \leq 101.5) }$

Given that $\mu = 103$

$\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{98.5 -103}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \leq \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{n}} \leq \dfrac{101.5-103}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}}) }$

$\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{-4.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{-1.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }$

$\mathtt{\beta = P(-6.75 \leq Z \leq -2.25) }$

$\mathtt{\beta = P(z< -2.25) - P(z < -6.75 )}$

From standard normal distribution table

β = 0.0122 - 0.0000

β = 0.0122

C. Find beta for the case where the true mean heat evolved is 105. This value of beta is smaller than the one found in part (b) above. Why?

$\mathtt{\beta = P(98.5 \leq \overline x \leq 101.5) }$

Given that $\mu = 105$

$\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{98.5 -105}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}} \leq \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{n}} \leq \dfrac{101.5-105}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{9}}}) }$

$\mathtt{\beta = P( \dfrac{-6.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{-3.5}{\dfrac{2}{3}}) }$

$\mathtt{\beta = P(-9.75 \leq Z \leq -5.25) }$

$\mathtt{\beta = P(z< -5.25) - P(z < -9.75 )}$

From standard normal distribution table

β = 0.0000 - 0.0000

β = 0.0000

The reason why the value of beta is smaller here is that since the difference between the value for the true mean and the hypothesized value increases, the probability of type II error decreases.
