The following 4 questions are related. after seeing countless commercials claiming one can get cheaper car insurance from an online company, a local insurance agent was concerned that he might lose some customers. to investigate, he randomly selected profiles for 10 of his clients and checked online price quotes for their policies. then, based on paired data on the 10 clients (the price he offered them and the corresponding online quote) and using excel’s t-test for paired data, he obtained t-statistic = 0.709 p-value = 0.248 note that the above is based on the difference between his price and online quotes.

question 33 not yet answered points out of 1.00 flag question question text based on his evidence, should he be worried about his online competitors? select one: a. yes b. no

Question 30

Null hypothesis:

Alternative hypothesis:

So the best option is:

a. μd<=0 and μd > 0

Question 31

So the p value is higher than any significance level given, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the difference mean between after and before is lower or equal than 0.

Then the best option is:

b. He cannot reject the null hypothesis

Question 32

b. 9

Question 33

Since we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis we don't have enough evidence to conclude that we don't have significant differences at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previos concepts

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Question 30

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis:

Alternative hypothesis:

So the best option is:

a. μd<=0 and μd > 0

Question 31

We have the statistic already calculate t=0.709

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a right tailed test the p value is given by:

And we can calculate it using the following excel code:

"=1-T.DIST(0.709,9,TRUE)"

So the p value is higher than any significance level given, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the difference mean between after and before is lower or equal than 0.

Then the best option is:

b. He cannot reject the null hypothesis

Question 32

b. 9

Question 33

b. No

Since we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis we don't have enough evidence to conclude that we don't have significant differences at 1% of significance.

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

step-by-step explanation: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
