In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsible for long-term memory storage, in adolescents. the researchers randomly selected 13 adolescents with alcohol use disorders to determine whether the hippocampal volumes in the alcoholic adolescents were less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm cubed. an analysis of the sample data revealed that the hippocampal volume is approximately normal with x overbarequals8.12 cm cubed and sequals0.8 cm cubed. conduct the appropriate test at the alphaequals0.01 level of significance.

The hippocampus volumes in the alcoholic adolescents are less than the normal volume of 9.02 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the hippocampus volumes in the alcoholic adolescents

We'll conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.01 significance level with

Null hypothesis: x = 9.02 cm³

Alternate hypothesis: x < 9.02 cm³

A sample of 13 alcoholic adolescents gives the parameters

size=N= 13

mean=M= 8.12 cm³

standard deviation= s= 0.8 cm³

According to the sample, with 99% confidence, t statistic for the value X=9.02 can be found using the formula:

t= where

If we put these numbers in the formula:

t= =4.056

One tailed critical value for the sample with 12 degrees of freedom (sample size-1) in 99% confidence level is 2.681.

Since t value (4.056) is bigger than the critical value, we fail to reject the alternate hypothesis, therefore reject the null hypothesis and accept alternate hypothesis.

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.

57.09 minus 7.0435 equals

step-by-step explanation:

just subtrach them both and u get the answer of 50.0465
