Is there any systematic tendency for part-time college faculty to hold their students to different standards than do full-time faculty? An article reported that for a sample of 125 courses taught by full-time faculty, the mean course GPA was 2.7386 and the standard deviation was 0.65342, whereas for a sample of 88 courses taught by part-timers, the mean and standard deviation were 2.8439 and 0.49241, respectively. Does it appear that true average course GPA for part-time faculty differs from that for faculty teaching full-time? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level 0.01. Calculate the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

-1. 34

0.1837

Step-by-step explanation:

Full time :

n1 = 125

x1 = 2.7386

s1 = 0.65342

Part time :

n2 = 88

x2 = 2.8439

s2 = 0.49241

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Test statistic :

The test statistic :

(x1 - x2) / sqrt[(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)]

(2.7386 - 2.8439) / sqrt[(0.65342²/125 + 0.49241²/88)]

−0.1053 / sqrt(0.0034156615712 + 0.0027553)

-0.1053 /0.0785554

= - 1.34

Test statistic = - 1.34

The Pvalue :

Using df = smaller n - 1 = 88 - 1 = 87

Pvalue from test statistic score ;

Pvalue = 0.1837

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the null and conclude that the GPA does not differ.

At α = 0.01 ; the result is insignificant

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
