The head of institutional research at a university believed that the mean age of full-time students was declining. In 1995, the mean age of a full-time student was known to be 27.4 years. After looking at the enrollment records of all 4934 full-time students in the current semester, he found that the mean age was 27.1 years, with a standard deviation of 7.3 years. He conducted a hypothesis of Upper H 0: muequals27.4 years versus Upper H 1: muless than27.4 years and obtained a P-value of 0.0020. He concluded that the mean age of full-time students did decline. Is there anything wrong with his research?

The degrees of freedom are given by:

Then the p value for this case calculated as:

Since the p value is a very lower value using any significance level for example 1% or 5% we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significanctly less than 27.4. So then is not anything wrong with the conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

represent the sample mean

represent the sample standard deviation

sample size  

represent the value to test

t would represent the statistic  

represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the mean age of full-time students did decline (less than 27.4), the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

The statistic for this case is given by:

 (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

The degrees of freedom are given by:

Then the p value for this case calculated as:

Since the p value is a very lower value using any significance level for example 1% or 5% we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significanctly less than 27.4. So then is not anything wrong with the conclusion

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
