A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 6 students' scores on the exam after completing the course: 6,16,19,12,15,14. Using these data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal. Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answer from: katelyn03anderson

The critical value is T_c = 2.5706 .

The 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (9.04, 18.30).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation:

Sample mean:

$\overline{x} = \frac{6+16+19+12+15+14}{6} = 13.67$

Sample standard deviation:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{(6-13.67)^2+(16-13.67)^2+(19-13.67)^2+(12-13.67)^2+(15-13.67)^2+(14-13.67)^2}{5}} = 4.4121$

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 6 - 1 = 5

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95$ . So we have T = 2.5706, that is, the critical value is T_c = 2.5706

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.5706\frac{4.4121}{\sqrt{6}} = 4.63$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 13.67 - 4.63 = 9.04.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 13.67 + 4.63 = 18.30.

The 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (9.04, 18.30).

Answer from: Quest

the system of inequalities is

$y> (1/3)x$

$y\leq-x+4$

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

$m=y/x=1/3$

the equation of the dashed line is

$y=(1/3)x$

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

$y> (1/3)x$

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

$m=(4-0)/(0-4)=-1$

the equation of the solid line is

$y=-x+4$

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

$y\leq-x+4$

step 3

the system of inequalities is

$y> (1/3)x$

$y\leq-x+4$

Powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. a group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought sexual discrimination is a problem in the united states. of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. if the p-value turns out to be 0.035 (which is not the real value in this data set), then at = 0.05, you should fail to reject h0. at = 0.04, you should reject h0. at = 0.03, you should reject h0. none of these would be a correct statement.
