Researchers interviewed street prostitutes in Canada and the United States. The mean age of the 100 Canadian prostitutes upon entering prostitution was 19 with a standard deviation of seven. The mean age of the 130 United States prostitutes upon entering prostitution was 21 with a standard deviation of eight. Is the mean age of entering prostitution in Canada lower than the mean age in the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

The t- student test statistics can be computed as:

t = -2.017

degree of freedom = (n₁-1)+(n₂-1)

= (100-1) + (130-1)

= 228

At t = -2.017 and 228 df

P-value = -0.224

Decision rule: Not to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is greater than ∝(0.01)

Conclusion: We reject the null hypothesis since the p-value is less than ∝.

Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age of entering prostitution in Canada is lower than that of the United states.

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
