Diana and Michael, who are taking different classes, are arguing about who did better on their most recent test. Diana received a score of 92 on her History test and Michael received a 688 on his Math test. The mean test score for the History class is 71 with a standard deviation of 15.The mean test score for the Math class is 493 standard deviation of 150. Who did better, relative to other students in the same class? Justify your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Diana's score is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Diana case :

Score = 92

Mean score , μ = 71

Standard deviation σ = 15

So,

P( x ≥ 92 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 92 )

                = 1 - P(z ≤ [tex]\frac{x - u}{\sigma}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ [tex]\frac{92 - 71 }{15}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ 1.4 )

                = 1 - 0.9192

                = 0.0808 = 8.08 %

⇒P( x ≥ 92 ) = 8.08%

∴ we get

Diana score is > 91.92% other students in the class.

In Micheal case :

Score = 688

Mean score , μ = 493

Standard deviation σ = 150

So,

P( x ≥ 688 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 688 )

                = 1 - P(z ≤ [tex]\frac{x - u}{\sigma}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ [tex]\frac{688 - 493 }{150}[/tex] )

                = 1 - P( z ≤ 1.3 )

                = 1 - 0.9032

                = 0.0968 = 9.68 %

⇒P( x ≥ 688 ) = 9.68%

∴ we get

Micheal score is > 90.32% other students in the class.

From both scores , we can conclude that

Diana's score is better.

Answers

Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

For a group of data with one big outlier, the mean is thrown off.

Like a room of 10 people who each make $50,000 a year except for one person who makes $2 million a year. The mean average for that group would be $245,000 a year but it reflects the actual circumstance of NOBODY in the room.

The median is more refective of the 'average' in these situations.

you have approximately 1/4 of tank of gas.your tank holds 20 gallons.how much gas do you have left? if you plan to fill the tank,how many gallons will you purchase? if gas cost $21/2 per gallon,how much will it cost you to fill up

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have a quarter tank then what is empty is 15 gallons because 20*3/4=15

you now need to fill up the 15 gallons, if each gallon is 21/2 dollars then 15*21/2 should give us a price. 21/2=10.5

15 gallons*10.5 dollars=$157.5 for the final price

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]H_o: \mu \ge 55 \ \\ \\ H_1 : \mu < 55[/tex]

(a) For x = 54 and s = 5.3

The test statistics can be computed as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{54-55}{\dfrac{5.3}{\sqrt{36}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{-1}{\dfrac{5.3}{6} }[/tex]

Z = -1.132

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(-1.132,35,1) = 0.1326

Decision: p-value is greater than significance level; do not reject [tex]\mathbf{H_o}[/tex]

[tex]Conclusion: \ There \ is \ insufficient \ evidence \ to \ conclude \ that \[/tex] [tex]\mu < 55[/tex]

b

For x = 53 and s = 4.6

The test statistics can be computed as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{53-55}{\dfrac{4.6}{\sqrt{36}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{-2}{\dfrac{4.6}{6} }[/tex]

Z = -2.6087

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(-2.6087,35,1) =0.0066

Decision: p-value is < significance level; we reject the null hypothesis.

[tex]Conclusion: \ There \ is \ sufficient \ evidence \ to \ conclude \ that[/tex] [tex]\mu < 55[/tex]

c)

For x = 56 and s = 5.0

The test statistics can be computed as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{56-55}{\dfrac{5.0}{\sqrt{36}} }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{56-55}{\dfrac{5.0}{\sqrt{36}} }[/tex]

Z = 1.2

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(1.2,35,1) = 0.88009

Decision: p-value is greater than significance level; do not reject [tex]\mathbf{H_o}[/tex]

[tex]Conclusion: \ There \ is \ insufficient \ evidence \ to \ conclude \ that \[/tex] [tex]\mu < 55[/tex]
