At age 9 the average weight (21.3 kg) and the average height (124.5 cm) for both boys and girls are exactly the same. a random sample of 9-year-olds yielded these results. estimate the mean difference in height between boys and girls with 95% confidence. does your interval support the given claim?

a) Null hypothesis H₀: μ₁ = μ₂

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂

b) Critical is ±1.985523

c) The test statistic t is -0.1276

d) P-value > α = 0.05, we accept the null hypothesis

e) There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the average weight of boys and girls are exactly the same

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Null hypothesis H₀: μ₁ = μ₂, the average weight of boys and girls are the same

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂ the average weight of boys and girls are not the same

b) Sample size, boys, n₁ = 60, girls, n₂ = 50

Mean height, boys, = 123.5 cm, girls, = 126.2 cm

Population variance, boys s₁ = 98, girls, s₂ = 120

The critical value at 95% confidence, degrees of freedom (smaller  between  n₁ and n₂) df = 50 - 1 = 49, α = (1 - 0.95)/2 = 0.025 the critical t is given from t relations as follows;

Critical = ±1.985523

c) For the test statistic, we have;

Plugging in the values where μ₁ = μ₂, we have;

The test statistic t = -0.1276

From t relations, we have the p-value , p = 0.8987748

d) Therefore, since the p-value > α = 0.05, we accept the null hypothesis

e) Based on the analysis, there is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the average weight of boys and girls are exactly the same.

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
