An educational psychologist wants to test whether a new teaching method negatively affects reading comprehension scores. She randomly selects 38 6th grade students that were taught under the new teaching method and finds that their mean score on a standardized reading comprehension test equals 87.8. Scores on the standardized test in the general population of 6th graders are distributed normally with a mean equal to 90.1 and a standard deviation equal to 17.3 . Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the new teaching method negatively affects reading comprehension scores

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{87.8-90.1}{\frac{17.3}{\sqrt{38}}}=-0.820[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(z<-0.820)=0.412[/tex]  

Since the p value is very high ant any significance level we will have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so then we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 90.1 and the method not shows a significantly effect in the scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

[tex]\bar X=87.8[/tex] represent the sample mean for the scores on the standardized test in the general population of 6th graders    

[tex]\sigma=17.3[/tex] represent the population standard deviation

[tex]n=38[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =90.1[/tex] represent the value that we want to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the new teaching method negatively affects reading comprehension scores, so then the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu =90.1[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu \neq 90.1[/tex]  

Since we know the population deviation the statistic would be:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]z=\frac{87.8-90.1}{\frac{17.3}{\sqrt{38}}}=-0.820[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(z<-0.820)=0.412[/tex]  

Since the p value is very high ant any significance level we will have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so then we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 90.1 and the method not shows a significantly effect in the scores.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 90.1

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 90.1

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 90.1

x = 87.8

σ = 17.3

n = 38

z = (87.8 - 90.1)/(17.3/√38) = - 0.82

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.21

Assume significant level = 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.21, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the new teaching method negatively affects reading comprehension scores.

Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre. Quiana has 56 text messages from Yolanda. Which equation can be used to find how many text messages Quiana has from Pierre, p?

Answers

Answer:

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre.

This means that for each message that she receives from Pierre, she receives 7 from Yolanda.

She received 56 from Yolanda.

So

7 messages from Yolanda - 1 messages from Pierre

56 messages from Yolanda - x messages from Pierre

[tex]7x = 56[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{56}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

To find how many text messages Quiana has from Pierre, represented as p, given that Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre, and she received 56 text messages from Yolanda, we can set up the following equation:

p × 7 = 56

To solve for p, we divide both sides of the equation by 7:

p = 56 ÷ 7

p = 8

So, Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

A (x, y) = [tex]((m_1 x_2 + m_2 x_1) / ( m_1 + m_2), \;\; (m_1 y_2 + m_2 y_1) / ( m_1 + m_2)[/tex]

Given:

Point A is (-7, 5) and point M is at (0, 4).

and, Point M is the midpoint of point A and Point B.

A (x, y) = [tex](m_1 x_2 + m_2 x_1) / ( m_1 + m_2)[/tex]

So, x= [tex](m_1 x_2 + m_2 x_1) / ( m_1 + m_2)[/tex]

0 = ( 1 x [tex]x_2[/tex] + 1 x (-7)) / (1 + 1)

0 = [tex]x_2[/tex] - 7

[tex]x_2[/tex] =7

and, y= [tex](m_1 y_2 + m_2 y_1) / ( m_1 + m_2)[/tex]

4= ( 1 x [tex]y_2[/tex] + 1 x 5)/ 2

8 = [tex]y_2[/tex] + 5

Answers

Answer:

4x-5y =5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (0-10)/(0- -8)

   = -10/(0+8)

   -10/8

We want a line with a perpendicular slope

That line will have a negative reciprocal slope

-1 (-5/4)

4/5

We have the slope and a point

y= mx+b is the slope intercept form of a line

y = 4/5x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

Suppose the students construct a 95% confidence interval for the true weight of their rocks. Whose interval do you expect to be more precise (narrower)? (i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times. (ii) The student who weighed the rock 5 times. (iii) Both intervals would be equally precise.

Answers

Answer:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is:

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which z is related to the confidence level, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From the equation above, the larger the size of the sample, the lower the margin is, that is, the narrower the interval is.

In this question:

A student weighed the rock 20 times and other the 5. From above, the one who weighed the rock 20 times will have the more precise interval.

So the correct answer is:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Myriad Solutions, Inc., issued 10% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $320 million on January 1, 2013 for $283,294,720. The bonds mature on December 31, 2022 (10 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield is 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31.


a. What would be the net amount of the liability Myriad would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2018? 2.

b. What would be the amount related to the bonds that Myriad would report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2018?

c. What would be the amount(s) related to the bonds that Myriad would report in its statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018?

Answers

Answer:

a. $ 285,349,947

b.  $ 34,055,227

c. $ 283,294,720 and $ 32,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data as of Jan. 1, 2013:

Cash 283,294,720

Discount on Bonds Payable 36,705,280

Bonds Payable 320,000,000

Now for the date of June 30, 2013, we do the following calculations:

320,000,000 x 10% x 2 = $ 16,000,000 cash payment

interest expense:

283,294,720 carrying value x 6% market rate = 16,997,683

to calculate depreciation:

16,997,683 - 16,000,000 = $ 997,683 discount amortization

Now for the new carrying value of bonds, we do the following:

283,294,720 + 997,683 = 284,292,403

As of Dec. 31, 2013, we have to:

320,000,000 x 10% x 2 = $ 16,000,000 cash payment

interest expense:

284,292,403 carrying value x 6% market rate = 17,057,544

to calculate depreciation:

17,057,544 - 16,000,000 = $ 1,057,544 discount amortization

Now for the new carrying value of bonds, we do the following:

284,292,403 + 1,057,544 = 285,349,947

Answering the questions:

a. The bonds would be listed at their current carrying value, $ 285,349,947

b. Interest Expense : 16,997,683 + 17,057,544 = $ 34,055,227

c. The $ 283,294,720 cash received from the sale of bonds would be added to cash flows under financing activities. The $ 32,000,000 in interest payments would be subtracted from cash flows under operating activities.

Final answer:

The net amount of liability, amount in income statement, and cash outflows related to Myriad Solutions, Inc.’s bonds are all calculated based on semiannual interest payments and the amortization of the discount over the life of the bonds. The carrying value of the bonds increases each year, and the interest expense and cash payments are reported in the financial statements.

Explanation:

To determine the net amount of the liability Myriad Solutions, Inc. would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2018, we need to calculate the carrying value of the bonds five years after issuance. Assuming the bonds were issued at a discount because the market rate of 12% was higher than the coupon rate of 10%, the discount is being amortized over the life of the bonds. This means the liability in the balance sheet is increasing every year until it reaches the face value at maturity.

The amount related to the bonds that Myriad would report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2018, includes the interest expense. Since the interest is paid semiannually, there would be two interest payments in 2018. Each payment would be a portion of the annual 10% coupon rate on the face value of $320 million, adjusted for any amortization of the bond discount over the reporting period.

For the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, Myriad would report the actual cash paid out as interest payments on the bonds. This would total the semiannual payments made on June 30 and December 31, which would be 10% of the $320 million face value divided by two, reflecting that interest is paid semiannually.

Answers

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of a fair six-sided die and a fair four-sided die rolled simultaneously is given below:

[tex](1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)\\(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6)\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)\\(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)\\[/tex]

where in each pair (x,y), x represents the four-sided die and y represents the six sided die.

Total Number of Possible Outcomes =24

Event A is the event that the six-sided die is an even number.

n(A)=12

Therefore, the probability that the six-sided die is an even number:

P(A)=12/24=0.5

-2x-8y= -32 slope intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y = -1/4x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-2x-8y = -32

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x-8y =2x -32

-8y = 2x-32

Divide each side by -8

-8y/-8 = 2x/-8 -32/-8

y = -1/4x +4

Suppose that prices of a certain model of a new home are normally distributed with a mean of $150,000. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to find the percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300 if the standard deviation is $2300.

Answers

Answer:

68% of buyers paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that prices of a certain model of a new home are normally distributed with a mean of $150,000.

Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to find the percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300 if the standard deviation is $2300.

Let X = prices of a certain model of a new home

SO, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=150,000 ,\sigma=2,300[/tex])

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                             Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean price = $150,000

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = $2,300

Now, according to 68-95-99.7 rule;

Around 68% of the values in a normal distribution lies between [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex].

Around 95% of the values occur between [tex]\mu-2\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu+2\sigma[/tex] .

Around 99.7% of the values occur between [tex]\mu-3\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu+3\sigma[/tex].

So, firstly we will find the z scores for both the values given;

         Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{147,700-150,000}{2,300}[/tex]  = -1

         Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{152,300-150,000}{2,300}[/tex]  = 1

This indicates that we are in the category of between [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex].

SO, this represents that percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300 is 68%.

Final answer:

Approximately 95% of the buyers paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

Explanation:

To find the percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300, we can use the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions. According to this rule, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% falls within two standard deviations, and 99.7% falls within three standard deviations.

The mean of the prices is $150,000 and the standard deviation is $2,300. The difference between $147,700 and $152,300 is $4,600, which is 2 standard deviations away from the mean. Therefore, we can expect approximately 95% of buyers to have paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

So, approximately 95% of the buyers paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

Pi (π) is one of the most important and fascinating numbers in mathematics. Roughly 3.14, it is a constant that is used to calculate the circumference of a circle from that circle's radius or diameter.[1] It is also an irrational number, which means that it can be calculated to an infinite number of decimal places without ever slipping into a repeating pattern.[2] This makes it difficult, but not impossible, to calculate precisely.

The picture below is of a Little League Baseball field. The distance from Home Plate to First Base is 60 feet, and from Home Plate to the center of the Pitcher’s Mound is 46 feet. The baseball "diamond" is actually a square (distance between each base is 60 feet), so the angle made by each base is 90°. So, if a line were connecting Home Plate with the Pitcher’s mound, it would create a 45° angle. So, approximately how far is First Base from the center of the Pitcher’s Mound? (HINT: The pitcher’s mound is not in the middle of the field, so there are NO right angles in this problem.) (

The box plots show the number of hours that Mr. Yan’s biology class spent studying for a test. It also shows the number of hours Mrs. Gonzalez’s class spent studying for a geography test. Mr. Yan’s Class 2 box plots. The number line goes from 0 to 10. For Mister Yan's class, the whiskers range from 1 to 9, and the box ranges from 2 to 7. A line divides the box at 4. For Misses Gonzalez's Class, the whiskers range from 1 to 9, and the box ranges from 4 to 7. A line divides the box at 5.5. Mrs. Gonzalez’s Class Four students compared the data in the box plots. Nadine Kendrick Tahara Dean The medians are the same because both sets of data have the same minimum and maximum values. Mr. Yan’s class has a greater median because the box in that box plot is larger. Mrs. Gonzalez’s class has a greater median because the line inside that box is located at a greater value. The medians are both 7 because the upper quartile for the sets of data is 7. Which student is correct?

Nadine
Kendrick
Tahara
Dean

Answers

The correct student is Dean.

To determine which student is correct, let's analyze the information given in the box plots for both classes:

For Mr. Yan's class, the box plot shows:

- Minimum value (lower whisker): 1

- Maximum value (upper whisker): 9

- Lower quartile (Q1): 2

- Median (Q2): 4

- Upper quartile (Q3): 7

- Interquartile range (IQR): Q3 - Q1 = 7 - 2 = 5

For Mrs. Gonzalez's class, the box plot shows:

- Minimum value (lower whisker): 1

- Maximum value (upper whisker): 9

- Lower quartile (Q1): 4

- Median (Q2): 5.5

- Upper quartile (Q3): 7

- Interquartile range (IQR): Q3 - Q1 = 7 - 4 = 3

Now let's evaluate each student's statement:

- Nadine: The medians are the same because both sets of data have the same minimum and maximum values. This statement is incorrect because the medians are different. Mr. Yan's class has a median of 4, while Mrs. Gonzalez's class has a median of 5.5.

- Kendrick: Mr. Yana's class has a greater median because the box in that box plot is larger. This statement is incorrect because the size of the box does not determine the median. The median is the value that divides the data into two equal halves, and it is indicated by the line inside the box.

- Tahara: Mrs. Gonzalez's class has a greater median because the line inside that box is located at a greater value. This statement is correct. The median for Mrs. Gonzalez's class is 5.5, which is greater than the median for Mr. Yan's class, which is 4.

- Dean: The medians are both 7 because the upper quartile for the sets of data is 7. This statement is incorrect because the median is not determined by the upper quartile but by the value that separates the higher half from the lower half of a data sample.

Therefore, the only correct statement is made by Tahara, who correctly identifies that Mrs. Gonzalez's class has a greater median because the line inside the box is located at a greater value (5.5) compared to Mr. Yan's class (4).

In a science fair​ project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left​ hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under​ Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 296 ​trials, the touch therapists were correct 143 times.

Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses?

Answers

Answer:

a 0.5

b 0.4831

c 0.4354 < P < 0.53008

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Probability (P) of a head or a tail when a coin is being tossed or flipped = 1/2 = 0.5

Sample size (n) = 296

Selected sample (X) = 143

a) Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses?

The  proportion of correct responses that would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses is 0.5

b) Using Emily's sample results, what is the best point estimate of the therapists' success rate?

Point estimate [tex](p') = \frac{X}{n}[/tex]

= [tex](p') = \frac{143}{296}[/tex]

= 0.4831

c) Using Emily's sample results, construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.

The [tex]Z_c[/tex] for 90% is 1.645

Using the formula P" -E < P < P" + E

where E = margin of error :  [tex]Z_c * \sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n} }[/tex]

[tex]=1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{0.4831(0.5169)}{296} }[/tex]

[tex]=1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{0.2497}{296} }[/tex]

[tex]=1.645*0.029[/tex]

= 0.0477

∴ P" -E < P < P" + E

= 0.4831 - 0.0477 < P < 0.4831 + 0.0477

= 0.4354 < P < 0.53008

Answer:

The proportion of correct responses would be in between [tex](0.4345)<P<(0.53008)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Sample size [tex](n)=296[/tex]

Selected sample [tex](x) =143[/tex]

Probability of head or tail will be 0.5 because a coin is tossed.

So the proportion of correct responses if the therapist made random decision will be 0.5.

Now with the help of sample result:

Point estimate:

[tex](p)'=x/n\\(p')=143/296\\(p')=0.4831[/tex]

Now, if we take confidence level of 90%

Then, [tex]Z=1.645[/tex]

As,

[tex](P"-E)<(P)<(P"+E)[/tex]

Where , E is the margin of error.

[tex]E=Z \times \sqrt \frac{P(1-P)}{n} \\E=1.654 \times \sqrt \frac{(0.4831 \times0.5169}{296} \\E=1.645\times 0.029\\E=0.0477[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex](P"-E)<(P)<(P"+E)[/tex]

[tex](0.4831-0.0477)<P<(0.4831+0.0477)\\(0.4345)<P<(0.53008)[/tex]

Hence, the proportion of correct responses would be in between [tex](0.4345)<P<(0.53008)[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. To find the median, the data should be arranged in order from least to greatest. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.
