A researcher was interested in comparing the amount of time spent watching television by women and by men. Independent simple random samples of 14 women and 17 men were selected, and each person was asked how many hours he or she had watched television during the previous week. The summary statistics are as follows: Women Men _ Sample mean 12.9 hrs 16.4 hrs Sample SD 4.0 hrs 4.2 hrs Sample size 14 17 This sample data is then used to test the claim that the mean time spent watching television by women is less than the mean time spent watching television by men. Assume that the sample variances are equal, and a .05 significance level is used. What can we conclude from this test

there is significant evidence to support that the claim that the mean time women spend watching television less than the mean time spent by men.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μw = μm

H1: μw < μm

The test statistic :

(x1 - x2) / sqrt[(sp²/n1 + sp²/n2)]

df1 = 14 - 1 = 13

df2 = 17 - 1 = 16

Pooled variance = Sp² = (df1*s1² + df2*s2²) ÷ (n1 + n2 - 2)

Sp² = ((13*4^2) + (16*4.2^2)) ÷ (13 + 16)

Sp² = 16.90

t = (12.9 - 16.4) ÷ sqrt((16.90/14 + 16.90/17))

t = - 3.5 ÷ 1.4836645

t = - 2.359

Using the Pvalue from Tscore ; at 95% ; df = 29

Pvalue = 0.0126

Pvalue < α

0.0126 < 0.05 ;

Hence, we reject the null and conclude that there is significant evidence to support that the claim that the mean time women spend watching television less than the mean time spent by men.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
