Recent research suggests that depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in life (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a study involving 949 elderly persons, it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression.a.

a. ii. and iv.

b. ii.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The research study involves elderly persons it was divided into two considering those who suffered depression and those that didn't suffer depression, then the proportion of persons that suffered dementia was counted.

a. Choose the relevant population and the sample.

i. The sample consists of all elderly people.

ii. The sample consists of 949 elderly people.

iii. The population is all younger and elderly people.

iv. The population is all elderly people.

Note: When you determine a population from a text, you NEVER mention a number, even if the population is finite and the total of individuals in it is known. When you determine a sample it always comes with its size.

b. Do the numbers 22% and 17% represent the population parameters or the sample statistics?

i. Population parameters

ii.Sample Statistics

The proportions were determined after taking the sample, as said in the text, first the sample was taken, then the researchers determined from this sample wich elders suffered from depression and which didn't suffer from depression and these two groups, the number of people with dementia was determined. Meaning these are sample values, not population parameters.

I hope it helps!

find the t values that form the boundaries of the critical region for a two-tailed test with a=.05 for n=6 n=12

Answers

Answer:

n=6

"=T.INV(1-0.025,5)", and we got the critical values given by: t_(critical)=\pm 2.5706  

n=12

"=T.INV(1-0.025,11)", and we got the critical values given by: t_(critical)=\pm 2.201  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The t distribution (Student’s t-distribution) is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.  

The degrees of freedom represent "the number of independent observations in a set of data. For example if we estimate a mean score from a single sample, the number of independent observations would be equal to the sample size minus one."

Solution to the problem

For n=6

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are conducting a two tailed test, so we are looking on the t distribution with df=n-1=6-1=5 degrees of freedom, a value that accumulates 0.05/2=0.025 of the area on each tail. We can use excel or a table to find it, for example the code in Excel is:  

"=T.INV(1-0.025,5)", and we got the critical values given by: t_(critical)=\pm 2.5706  

For n=12  

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are conducting a two tailed test, so we are looking on the t distribution with df=n-1=12-1=11 degrees of freedom, a value that accumulates 0.05/2=0.025 of the area on each tail. We can use excel or a table to find it, for example the code in Excel is:  

"=T.INV(1-0.025,11)", and we got the critical values given by: t_(critical)=\pm 2.201

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.75 x 12.5 = 34.375

34.375 x 10% = 3.4375

$34.375 + 3.4375 = 37.8125
