The researcher wants to test whether the mean weight of all high school students in the state
(μ)
would be
70
kg or not.
So, the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test the researcher wants to conduct are:
A.The researcher's null hypothesis is
H0: μ=70
and the alternative hypothesis is
HA: μ≠70.
Your answer is correct.
B.The researcher's null hypothesis is
H0: μ≥70
and the alternative hypothesis is
HA: μ≤70.
C.The researcher's null hypothesis is
H0: μ=70
and the alternative hypothesis is
HA: μ≥70.
D.The researcher's null hypothesis is
H0: μ≥70
and the alternative hypothesis is
HA: μ≠70.
For a prespecified 5% significance level, the
p-value
of the test the researcher wants to conduct is
nothing.

A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.00 m above the street below. The vertical wall of the building is 7.00 m high, forming a 1.00 m high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal at a point 28.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.10 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.
(a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.
m/s
(b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the
wall.
m
(c) Find the distance from the wall to the point on the roof where
the ball lands.

A study was conducted to estimate the difference in the mean salaries of elementary school teachers from two neighboring states. A sample of 10 teachers from the Indiana had a mean salary of $28,900 with a standard deviation of $2300. A sample of 14 teachers from Michigan had a mean salary of $30,300 with a standard deviation of $2100. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean salary in Indiana and Michigan.(Assume population variances are different.)
*Include null and alternate hypothesis, a p-value, and a conclusion PRIVATE about the null hypothesis*

You are at one of your clinical placements with a school nurse. A parent walks into the office and asks to speak to the nurse. The school nurse introduces you to the parent and offers your assistance. The parent says, “My son is John Smith. He is 8 years old and a student in Mr. Albright’s class. The doctor put him on Ritalin. I’m not sure how I feel about this. He has been on it for 10 days now. I have some questions I’d like to ask you.”

At the beginning of the school year, Katherine Malloy decided to prepare a cash budget for the months of September, October, November, and December. The budget must plan for enough cash on December 31 to pay the spring semester tuition, which is the same as the fall tuition. The following information relates to the budget:
| Cash balance, September 1 (from a summer job) | $7,550 |
| Purchase season football tickets in September | 100 |
| Additional entertainment for each month | 260 |
| Pay fall semester tuition in September | 4,100 |
| Pay rent at the beginning of each month | 370 |
| Pay for food each month | 210 |
| Pay apartment deposit on September 2 (to be returned December 15) | 500 |
| Part-time job earnings each month (net of taxes) | 940 |
a. Prepare a cash budget for September, October, November, and December. Enter all amounts as positive values except an overall cash decrease which should be indicated with a minus sign.

Salaries for teachers in a particular elementary school district are normally distributed with a mean of $46,000 and a standard deviation of $4,500. We randomly survey ten teachers from that district. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
A) Find the 90th percentile for an individual teacher's salary.
B)Find the 90th percentile for the average teacher's salary.

You are to test if the average SAT score in the high school students of Ontario is greater than 495. You set the hypotheses as below:
H0: µ = 495 vs Ha: µ > 495
If the SRS of 500 students were selected and the standard deviation has been known to 100, with alpha = 0.05, answer the followings.
a. What is the Type I error?
b. What is the Type II error if the true population mean is 510. Explain it.
c. What is the power if the true population mean is 510? Explain it.

The GPA of a high school in recent years has a standard deviation of 0.18 and a mean value of 3.36.
What would the lowest GPA be that a student could have and still be in the top 5 percent of their class? Round to two decimal places.
If a student must be in at least the 80th percentile to qualify for a scholarship, what GPA must the scholarship applicants maintain?
Please show all of your work! Thank you!
