Question

A university wants to know more about the knowledge of students regarding international events. They are concerned that their students are uninformed regarding news from other countries. A standardized test is used to assess students’ knowledge of world events (national reported mean= 65, S = 5). A sample of 30 students is tested (sample mean=58, Standard Error=3.2). Compute a 99 % confidence interval based on this sample data. How do these students compare to the national sample?

Answer 1

:Newton’s first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. In fact, in classical Newtonian mechanics, there is no important distinction between rest and uniform motion in a straight line; they may be regarded as the same state of motion seen by different observers, one moving at the same velocity as the particle and the other moving at constant velocity with respect to the particle. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.
