Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] (759-658) -1.46 \sqrt{\frac{73^2}{30} +\frac{65^2}{28}}= 74.54[/tex]

[tex] (759-658) +1.46 \sqrt{\frac{73^2}{30} +\frac{65^2}{28}}= 127.46[/tex]

And the confidence interval for the difference of the two means is given by (74.54, 127.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given:

[tex]\bar X_1 = 759[/tex] the sample mean for construction workers

[tex] s_1 =73[/tex] the sample standard deviation for construction workers

[tex]n_1 =30[/tex] sample size of construction workers

[tex]\bar X_2 = 658[/tex] the sample mean for manufacturing workers

[tex] s_2 =65[/tex] the sample standard deviation for manufacturing workers

[tex]n_2 =28[/tex] sample size of construction workers

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the difference of means are given by:

[tex] (\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}[/tex]

We need to find the degrees of freedom given by:

[tex] df = n_1 +n_2 -2= 30+28-2=56[/tex]

The confidence is 0.85 and the significance level would be [tex]1-0.85=0.15[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 = 0.075[/tex]. We need to find a critical value in the t distribution who accumulates 0.075 of the area on each tail and we got:

[tex] t_{\alpha/2}= \pm 1.46[/tex]

And then we can replace and we got:

[tex] (759-658) -1.46 \sqrt{\frac{73^2}{30} +\frac{65^2}{28}}= 74.54[/tex]

[tex] (759-658) +1.46 \sqrt{\frac{73^2}{30} +\frac{65^2}{28}}= 127.46[/tex]

And the confidence interval for the difference of the two means is given by (74.54, 127.46)

Answer 2

Part (a): The 80% confidence interval for the earnings difference is $77.51 to $124.49.

Part (b): The interval suggests 80% confidence in the true earnings difference falling within $77.51 to $124.49.

Part (c): Since zero isn't in the interval, there's a significant pay difference between construction and manufacturing workers.

Part (a): Construct an 80% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weekly earnings

Step 1: Identify the given data

- Construction workers:

 - Mean [tex](\(\bar{X_1}\)) = \$759[/tex]

 - Standard deviation [tex](\(s_1\)) = \$73[/tex]

 - Sample size [tex](\(n_1\))[/tex] = 30

- Manufacturing workers:

 - Mean [tex](\(\bar{X_2}\)) = \$658[/tex]

 - Standard deviation [tex](\(s_2\)) = \$65[/tex]

 - Sample size [tex](\(n_2\)) = 28[/tex]

Step 2: Determine the formula for the confidence interval

We use the formula for the confidence interval of the difference between two independent means:

[tex]\[ (\bar{X_1} - \bar{X_2}) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} \][/tex]

Step 3: Calculate the standard error (SE) of the difference

[tex]\[ SE = \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ SE = \sqrt{\frac{73^2}{30} + \frac{65^2}{28}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ SE = \sqrt{\frac{5329}{30} + \frac{4225}{28}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ SE = \sqrt{177.63 + 150.89} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ SE = \sqrt{328.52} \approx 18.12 \][/tex]

Step 4: Determine the degrees of freedom (df) using the Welch-Satterthwaite equation

[tex]\[ df = \frac{\left(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}\right)^2}{\frac{\left(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}\right)^2}{n_1-1} + \frac{\left(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}\right)^2}{n_2-1}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ df \approx \frac{328.52^2}{\frac{(177.63)^2}{29} + \frac{(150.89)^2}{27}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ df \approx \frac{107,922.4}{1090.15 + 843.48} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ df \approx \frac{107,922.4}{1933.63} \approx 55.83 \approx 56 \][/tex]

Step 5: Find the t-value for an 80% confidence interval

For df ≈ 56 and [tex]\(\alpha/2 = 0.10\),[/tex] the t-value [tex](\(t_{0.10}\))[/tex] is approximately 1.296.

Step 6: Construct the confidence interval

[tex]\[ (\bar{X_1} - \bar{X_2}) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \cdot SE \][/tex]

[tex]\[ (759 - 658) \pm 1.296 \cdot 18.12 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 101 \pm 23.49 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ (77.51, 124.49) \][/tex]

So, the 80% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weekly earnings is [tex]\((77.51, 124.49)\).[/tex]

Part (b): Explanation of the Confidence Interval

The 80% confidence interval [tex]\((77.51, 124.49)\)[/tex] means that we are 80% confident that the true difference between the mean weekly earnings of construction workers and manufacturing workers lies between [tex]\$77.51[/tex] and [tex]\$124.49[/tex]. In other words, if we were to take many samples and compute the confidence interval for each, about 80% of those intervals would contain the true difference in mean earnings.

Part (c): Is there a significant difference in pay?

To determine if there is a significant difference in pay, we look at whether the confidence interval includes zero. Since the 80% confidence interval for the difference in mean earnings (\(77.51, 124.49\)) does not include zero, we can conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in pay between construction workers and manufacturing workers at the 80% confidence level.

Answers

Answer:

Probability that it wins at least 3 of its final 5 games = .02387

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

The probability of win the weekend game = 0.5

The probability of loose  the weekend game = 0.5

If he wins the game this weekend then it will play its final 5 games in the upper bracket of its league

In this case,  probability of success is (p) = 0.3

probability of failure is (q) = 1 - p = 0.7

Let X be number of game won out of last five games

probability that it wins at least 3 of its final 5 games

Vehicles entering an intersection from the east are equally likely to turn left, turn right, or proceed straight ahead. If 50 vehicles enter this intersection from the east, use technology and the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to find the exact and approximate probabilities of the following. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a)

Answers

Answer:

The probability that at least two-third of vehicles in the sample turn is 0.4207.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of vehicles that turn left or right.

The proportion of the vehicles that turn is, p = 2/3.

The nest n = 50 vehicles entering this intersection from the east, is observed.

Any vehicle taking a turn is independent of others.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 50 and p = 2/3.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

np ≥ 10n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

[tex]np=50\times \frac{2}{3}=33.333>10\\\\n(1-p)=50\times \frac{1}{3}= = 16.667>10[/tex]

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So, [tex]X\sim N(np, np(1-p))[/tex]

Compute the probability that at least two-third of vehicles in the sample turn as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq \frac{2}{3}\times 50)=P(X\geq 33.333)=P(X\geq 34)[/tex]

                        [tex]=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{34-33.333}{\sqrt{50\times \frac{2}{3}\times\frac {1}{3}}})[/tex]

                        [tex]=P(Z>0.20)\\=1-P(Z<0.20)\\=1-0.5793\\=0.4207[/tex]

Thus, the probability that at least two-third of vehicles in the sample turn is 0.4207.

What is 1/3x1/3x1/3[/tex]?

Answers

Answer:

i believe the answer is 1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

you take the fractions and multiply them all together.

1x1x1 equals 1

and 3x3x3 equals 27

meaning the answer is 1/27 :)

Final answer:

To calculate 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3, you're effectively cubing 1/3, which results in (1/3)^3 or 1^3/3^3, simplifying to 1/27.

Explanation:

The student is asking about the multiplication of fractions and exponentiation rules in algebra. To solve 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3, you multiply the fractions normally. When multiplying identical fractions, we simply raise the fraction to the power of the number of times it is being multiplied by itself. So 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 is equivalent to (1/3)^3. When you raise a fraction to an exponent, you raise both the numerator and the denominator to that power. Therefore, (1/3)^3 equals 1^3/3^3, which simplifies to 1/27.

The example given with 3².35 relates to the rules of exponents, which state that when multiplying exponential terms with the same base, you can add the exponents (x^p x x^q = x^(p+q)). For the concept of cubing of exponentials, you would cube the base and multiply the existing exponent by 3 to execute the operation effectively.

A woman is emptying her aquarium at a steady rate with a small pump. The water pumped to a 12-in.-diameter cylindrical bucket, and its depth is increasing at the rate of 4.0 in. per minute. Find the rate at which the aquarium water level is dropping if the aquarium measures 24 in. (wide) × 36 in. (long) × 18 in. (high).

Answers

Answer:

Therefore the rate at which water level is dropping is [tex]\frac{11}{21}[/tex] in per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of cylindrical bucket = 12 in.

Depth is increasing at the rate of = 4.0 in per minutes.

i.e [tex]\frac{dh_1}{dt}=4[/tex]

[tex]h_1[/tex] is depth of the bucket.

The volume of the bucket is V = [tex]\pi r^2 h[/tex]

                                                 [tex]=\pi \times 6^2\itimes h_1[/tex]

[tex]\therefore V=36\pi h_1[/tex]

Differentiating with respect yo t,

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=36\pi \frac{dh_1}{dt}[/tex]

Putting  [tex]\frac{dh_1}{dt}=4[/tex]

[tex]\therefore\frac{dV}{dt}=36\pi\times 4[/tex]

The rate of volume change of the bucket = The rate of volume change of the aquarium .

Given that,The aquarium measures 24 in × 36 in × 18 in.

When the water pumped out from the aquarium, the depth of the aquarium only changed.

Consider h be height of the aquarium.

The volume of the aquarium is V= ( 24× 36 ×h)

V= 24× 36 ×h

Differentiating with respect to t

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=24\times 36 \times \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

Putting [tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=36\pi\times 4[/tex]

[tex]36\pi\times 4= 24\times 36\times \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{36\pi \times 4}{24\times 36}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{11}{21}[/tex]

Therefore the rate at which water level is dropping is [tex]\frac{11}{21}[/tex] in per minute.

Final answer:

To find the rate at which the aquarium water level is dropping, calculate the volume of water being pumped into the bucket per minute and the volume of the aquarium. Then, divide the volume of water by the volume of the aquarium to find the rate.

Explanation:

To find the rate at which the aquarium water level is dropping, we first need to determine the flow rate of water being pumped into the cylindrical bucket.




 Given that the cylindrical bucket has a diameter of 12 inches, we can calculate its radius by dividing the diameter by 2: radius = 12/2 = 6 inches.
 Next, we need to find the volume of water being pumped into the bucket per minute. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: volume = π * radius^2 * depth.
 Since the depth is increasing at a rate of 4.0 inches per minute, we can substitute this value into the formula: volume = π * (6 inches)^2 * 4.0 inches/minute.
 Calculate the volume: volume = 144π inches^3/minute.



Now, let's find the rate at which the aquarium water level is dropping:




 The volume of the aquarium is given as 24 inches (wide) × 36 inches (long) × 18 inches (high). Multiply to find the total volume: volume = 24 inches * 36 inches * 18 inches.
 The rate at which the aquarium water level is dropping can be found by dividing the volume of water being pumped into the bucket per minute by the volume of the aquarium: rate = (144π inches^3/minute) / (24 inches * 36 inches * 18 inches).



By calculating the above expression, you can find the rate at which the aquarium water level is dropping.

Final answer:

The water level in the aquarium is dropping at an average rate of π/6 inches per minute. This is obtained by relating the volumes and their rates of change in both the bucket and the aquarium.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is calculus, specifically, related rates. The situation describes two rates: one at which the depth of water in the bucket is increasing, and one at which the water level in the aquarium is dropping - a classic related rates problem.

To comprehend this, let us calculate the volume rates of each one: the bucket and the aquarium. The bucket is referred as cylindrical with a radius of 6 inches (half of 12 inches). The volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h. The depth or height, h, is increasing at the rate of 4 inches per minute, so dh/dt = 4 in/min. The rate at which the volume has been changing, dV/dt = πr²dh/dt = π * (6 in)² * 4 in/min = 144π in³/min.

The aquarium is a rectangular prism, thus its volume can be calculated by V = l*w*h. Therefore, the rate at which the water level is dropping is dV/dt / (l*w) which equals 144π in³/min divided by the area of the aquarium (24in*36in = 864 in²), which gives dh/dt = 144π / 864, which reduces to dh/dt = π/6 in/min downwards. Hence, the water level in the aquarium is dropping at π/6 in/min on an average.

Data points are (4, 650) and (8, 400) since price is independent variable and weight of coffee is dependent

b......................

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Slope = (400 - 650)/(8-4) = -250/4 = - 62.5

Final answer:

The data points representing the price and quantity of coffee sold are ($4, 650) and ($8, 400). The slope of the line connecting these points, which shows the relationship between price and quantity, is -62.5.

Explanation:

This question is about mathematical calculations used in economics, specifically related to pricing and demand. Let's turn these scenarios into data points, with price ($4 and $8) as the independent variable and quantity (650 lbs and 400 lbs) as the dependent variable. So, your data points are ($4, 650) and ($8, 400).

To find the slope of the line connecting these points, use the slope formula. The slope(m) is equal to the difference in the y-values divided by the difference in the x-values. So, m = (400-650) / (8-4) = -250/4 = -62.5.

Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points, representing the relationship between the price and quantity of coffee sold, is -62.5.

a) $1,000 or more?

As the data is usually distributed, using the 3-step approach to solve the problem: draw the image (I'm not going to do it here), locate the z-point, and identify the region on the graph.

(1000-951)/96 = .5104 = 0.51 = Z, so area = 1 -0.6950 = 0.3050

b) Between $900 and $1,100?

(900-951)/96 = -0.53 = Z, and (1100-951)/96 = 1.55 = Z So area = 0.9394 - 0.2981 = 0.6413

c) Between $825 and $925?

To determine the percentage increase in apartment supply, we calculate the change in quantity supplied, divide it by the original quantity supplied, and then multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

The original quantity supplied was 10,000 units, and the new quantity supplied is 13,000 units. So the change in quantity supplied is 13,000 - 10,000 = 3,000 units.

The percentage increase in supply is (3,000 units / 10,000 units) × 100% = 30%

Next, we calculate the price sensitivity, also known as price elasticity of supply, using the formula:

Price Elasticity of Supply (Es) = (% Change in Quantity Supplied) / (% Change in Price)

The price increased from $650 to $700, which is an increase of $700 - $650 = $50. The percentage change in price is ($50 / $650) × 100% = 7.69%

Then the price elasticity of supply is 30% / 7.69% = 3.90, indicating that the supply is relatively elastic.

The restaurant pay $24,192 for 9 pounds of truffles.

What is Unitary Method?

The unitary technique involves first determining the value of a single unit, followed by the value of the necessary number of units.

For example, Let's say Ram spends 36 Rs. for a dozen (12) bananas.

12 bananas will set you back 36 Rs. 1 banana costs 36 x 12 = 3 Rupees.

As a result, one banana costs three rupees. Let's say we need to calculate the price of 15 bananas.

This may be done as follows: 15 bananas cost 3 rupees each; 15 units cost 45 rupees.

Given:

A restaurant buys 9 pounds of truffles.

as, 1 pound = 16 ounce

     

So, the restaurant buys

= 16 x 9

= 144 ounce of truffles.

If truffles cost $168 per ounce.

So, the cost for 9 pounds ruffles is

=  144 x 168

= $ 24,192

Uni made a model of a 1970 Ford Mustang using a scale of .5 inches = 9 in. If the actual car is 15 ft long, how long is the model car?

Answers

Answer:

The model car is 10 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use conversion of units

Feet to inches.

Each feet has 12 inches.

The car is 15ft long.

So the car has 15*12 = 180 inches.

.5 inches = 9 in.

Rule of three

.5 inches - 9 inches

x inches - 180 inches

[tex]9x = 180*0.5[/tex]

[tex]9x = 90[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{90}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

The model car is 10 inches long

To find the length of Uni's model car, we convert the actual car's length to inches, set up a proportion with the given scale, and cross-multiply to solve for the model car's length, resulting in a model that is 10 inches long.

The subject matter of the question is related to scale models, which falls under the field of Mathematics. To solve this problem, we need to find the length of the model car based on the given scale and the actual length of the car.

The scale given is 0.5 inches = 9 inches. Firstly, we need to convert the actual length of the car from feet to inches, so we can work in the same units. There are 12 inches in a foot, so a 15 feet long car is 15 x 12 inches long, which is 180 inches. Now, we need to set up a proportion to find the length of the model car:

Actual car length (inch) : Model car length (inch) = Actual scale (inch) : Model scale (inch) 180 inches (actual car length) : x inches (model car length) = 9 inches (actual scale) : 0.5 inches (model scale)

By cross-multiplying, we get:

(180 inches x 0.5 inches) = (x inches x 9 inches)

Dividing both sides by 9 inches, we get:

x inches = (180 inches x 0.5 inches) / 9 inches

So, the length of the model car is:

x inches = 10 inches.

Therefore, Uni's model car is 10 inches long.

In a test of hypothesis, the null hypothesis is that the population proportion is equal to .58 and the alternative hypothesis is that the population proportion is greater than .58. Suppose we make the test at the 2.5% significance level. A sample of 1200 elements selected from this population produces a sample proportion of .62. What is the value of the test statistic, z?

Answers

Answer:

z statistic = 2.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 1200

Null hypothesis, [tex]H_{0}[/tex]: p = 0.58

Alternative hypothesis, [tex]H_{a}[/tex]: p > 0.58

From the null and alternative hypothesis, we can derive that Hypothesized proportion, [tex]p_{0}[/tex] = 0.58 = 58%

Significance level = 2.5% = 0.025

Sample proportion, [tex]p_{1}[/tex] = 0.62 = 62%

Test statistic, z:

[tex]z_{statistic} = \frac{p_{1} -p_{0} }{\sqrt{\frac{p_{0}( 1 -p_{0} )}{n} } }[/tex]

[tex]z_{statistic} = \frac{0.62-0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{1200} } }[/tex]

[tex]z statistic =\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{0.000203} }[/tex] [tex]= \frac{0.04}{0.0142}[/tex]

[tex]z statistic = 2.82[/tex]

The value of the test statistic 'z' for the given hypothesis test is approximately 5.65, calculated using the provided sample proportion, hypothesized population proportion, and sample size.

The question asks for the calculation of the test statistic 'z' for a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis states that the population proportion is equal to .58 and the alternative hypothesis says that the population proportion is greater than .58. This is tested at a 2.5% significance level with a sample size of 1200 and sample proportion of .62.

To calculate the test statistic z, use the formula:

z = (p' - p) / √(p(1 - p)/n)

where:

p' is the sample proportion (0.62)p is the hypothesized population proportion (0.58)n is the sample size (1200)

Now, plug in the values:

z = (0.62 - 0.58) / √(0.58(1 - 0.58)/1200)

z ≈ 5.65

This is the value of the test statistic z for conducting the hypothesis test.

The Highway Safety Department wants to study the driving habits of individuals. A sample of 37 cars traveling on a particular stretch of highway revealed an average speed of 70.7 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 6.3 miles per hour. Round to 4 decimal places. 1.Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the true mean speed of all cars on this particular stretch of highway

Answers

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the true mean speed of all cars on this particular stretch of highway is [68.9517 miles per hour , 72.4483 miles per hour].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 37 cars traveling on a particular stretch of highway revealed an average speed of 70.7 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 6.3 miles per hour.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 90% confidence interval for the true mean is given by;

                            P.Q. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average speed of cars = 70.7 miles per hour

             s = sample standard deviation = 6.3 miles per hour

             n = sample of cars = 37

             [tex]\mu[/tex] = true mean speed

Here for constructing 90% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we know don't about population standard deviation.

So, 90% confidence interval for the true mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;

P(-1.688 < [tex]t_3_6[/tex] < 1.688) = 0.90  {As the critical value of t at 36 degree of

                                 freedom are -1.688 & 1.688 with P = 5%}  

P(-1.688 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 1.688) = 0.90

P( [tex]-1.688 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]1.688 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.90

P( [tex]\bar X-1.688 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+1.688 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.90

90% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-1.688 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+1.688 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]

                    = [ [tex]70.7-1.688 \times {\frac{6.3}{\sqrt{37} } }[/tex] , [tex]70.7+1.688 \times {\frac{6.3}{\sqrt{37} } }[/tex] ]

                    = [68.9517 miles per hour , 72.4483 miles per hour]

Therefore, 90% confidence interval for the true mean speed of all cars on this particular stretch of highway is [68.9517 miles per hour , 72.4483 miles per hour].

The interpretation of the above interval is that we are 90% confident that the true mean speed of all cars will lie between 68.9517 miles per hour and 72.4483 miles per hour.

When you have a negative exponent, you move the base with the negative exponent to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

If g(x) is the inverse of f(x)

and f(x) = 4x + 12

f⁻¹(x) = g(x)

let f(x) be represented as y

f(x) = y

y = 4x + 12

subtract 12 from both sides

y-12= 4x

divide both sides by 4

(y-12)/4 = x

so f  ⁻¹ (y)=  (y-12)/4 so g(x) =  (x-12)/4

Fluoxetine, a generic anti-depressant, claims to have, on average, at least 20 milligrams of active ingredient.

If the lab doesn't believe the manufacturer's claim, what is the approximate p-value for the suitable test

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{18.7-20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}}=-2.326[/tex]    

[tex]df=n-1=80-1=79[/tex]  

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(79)}<-2.326)=0.0113[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

[tex]\bar X=18.7[/tex] represent the sample mean for the content of active ingredient

[tex]s=5[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for the sample  

[tex]n=80[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =20[/tex] represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean for the active agent is at least 20 mg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 20[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 20[/tex]  

The statistic would be:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]  (1)  

Now we can calculate the statistic:

[tex]t=\frac{18.7-20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}}=-2.326[/tex]    

P value

The degrees of freedom are calculated like this:

[tex]df=n-1=80-1=79[/tex]  

Since is a one left tailed test the p value would be:  

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(79)}<-2.326)=0.0113[/tex]  

Option (e) 0.0113 is correct. The approximate p-value for the lab's one-sample t-test on fluoxetine is 0.0113.

To determine the approximate p-value for the lab's test on fluoxetine, we can use a one-sample t-test. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Null Hypothesis (H₀): The mean content of the active ingredient is at least 20 milligrams (μ ≥ 20 mg).Alternative Hypothesis (Hₐ): The mean content of the active ingredient is less than 20 milligrams (μ < 20 mg).Calculate the test statistic using the formula:

(bar{x} - μ) / (s/√n)

where bar{x} is the sample mean, μ is the population mean, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Substituting the values:

bar{x} = 18.7, μ = 20, s = 5, n = 80

t = (18.7 - 20) / (5/√80)

t = -1.3 / (5/8.944)

t = -1.3 / 0.559

t = -2.325

Using a t-distribution table or calculator, we find the p-value for t = -2.325 with (n - 1) = 79 degrees of freedom. The approximate p-value is 0.0113.

Therefore, the correct answer is e. 0.0113.

6.3.6. Among the early attempts to revisit the death postponement theory introduced in Case Study 6.3.2 was an examination of the birth dates and death dates of three hundred forty-eight U.S. celebrities (144). It was found that sixteen of those individuals had died in the month preceding their birth month. Set up and test the appropriate H0 against a one-sided H1. Use the 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

So the Null hypothesis is rejected in this case

Step-by-step explanation:

  The number of celebrities is  n = 348

   

So to solve this we would assume that p is the percentage of people that died on the month preceding their birth month  

     

  Generally if there is no death postponement then p will be mathematically evaluated as

            [tex]p = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]  

This implies the probability of date in one month out of the 12 months

Now from the question we can deduce that the hypothesis we are going to be testing is  

  [tex]Null Hypothesis \ \ H_0 : p = 0.083[/tex]

This is a hypothesis is stating that a celebrity  dies in the month preceding their birth

  [tex]Alternative \ Hypothesis H_1 : p < 0.083[/tex]

   This is a hypothesis is stating that a celebrity does not die in the month preceding their birth

       is c is the represent probability for each celebrity which either c = 0 or c = 1

Where c = 0 is that the probability  that the celebrity does not die on the month preceding his/ her birth month

     and  c =  1  is that the probability  that the  celebrity dies on the month preceding his/ her birth month

  Then it implies that

   for  

       n= 1 + 2 + 3 + .... + 348  celebrities

Then the sum of c for each celebrity would be  [tex]c_s = 16[/tex]

i.e The number of celebrities that died in the month preceding their birth month

We are told that the significance level is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], the the z value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] is

              [tex]z_{\alpha } = 1.65[/tex]

This is obtained from the z-table

Since this test is carried out on the left side of the area under the normal curve then the critical value will be

                 [tex]z_{\alpha } = - 1.65[/tex]

So what this implies is that  [tex]H_o[/tex] will be rejected if

                [tex]z \le -1.65[/tex]

Here z is the test statistics

Now z is mathematically evaluated as follows

                  [tex]z = \frac{c - np}{\sqrt{np_o(1- p_o)} }[/tex]

                [tex]z = \frac{16 - (348 *0.083)}{\sqrt{348*0.083 (1- 0.083)} }[/tex]

                [tex]z =-2.50[/tex]

From our calculation we see that the value of z is less than [tex]-1.65[/tex] so the Null hypothesis will be rejected

   Hence this tell us that the  evidence provided is not enough to conclude  that 16 celebrities died a month to their birth month

Final answer:

The question involves statistical hypothesis testing where the null hypothesis (H0) suggests no significant increase in celebrity deaths before their birth month, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) suggests a significant increase. Using significance level 0.05 and the provided data, the p-value is compared to decide on H0.

Explanation:

The question provided relates to setting up and testing a null hypothesis (H0) against a one-sided alternative hypothesis (H1) in the context of statistical hypothesis testing. Specifically, it involves determining whether the occurrence of celebrity deaths in the month preceding their birth month is statistically significant using a significance level of 0.05. To address this, the null hypothesis would state that there is no significant increase in the frequency of deaths in the month before the celebrities' birth month compared to any other month. The alternative hypothesis would state that there is a significant increase in deaths in the month preceding the birth month of celebrities. We would use the data provided (16 out of 348 celebrities dying in the month before their birth month) to calculate the p-value and compare it with the alpha level of 0.05 to decide whether to reject the null hypothesis or not.

We are given that Ten years ago, college students spent an average of 120 hours per semester on extra-curricular activities.

A simple random sample of 100 college students found that in the past year the average number of hours spent per semester in extracurricular activities was 107 hours with a standard deviation of 45 hours.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = average time spent on extra-curricular activities.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 120 hours     {means that the college students spend more or equal time on extra-curricular activities than they did ten years ago}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] < 120 hours     {means that the college students spend less time on extra-curricular activities than they did ten years ago}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average number of hours spent per semester = 107 hrs

             s = sample standard deviation = 45 hours

             n = sample of college students = 100

So, test statistics  =  [tex]\frac{107-120}{\frac{45}{\sqrt{100} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t_9_9[/tex]

                               =  -2.889

The value of t test statistics is -2.889.

Now, the P-value of the test statistics is given by following formula;

               P-value = P( [tex]t_9_9[/tex] < -2.889) = 0.00314

Since, the P-value is less than the level of significance as 0.05 > 0.00314, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the college students spend less time on extra-curricular activities than they did ten years ago.

A piece of wire 26 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle. (a) How much wire should be used for the square in order to maximize the total area?

Answers

Answer:

For the maximize the total area, the all wire i.e. 26 m should be used for the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the wire = 26 m

Let Amount of wire cut for square = x

Amount of wire cut for triangle  = 26 - x

Side of the square = [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Area of the square = [tex]\frac{x^{2} }{16}[/tex]  ------ (1)

Side of the triangle is given by

[tex]a = \frac{26 - x}{3}[/tex]

Side of the triangle is [tex]a = \frac{26 - x}{3}[/tex]

Area of the triangle is given by

[tex]A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}[/tex]

Area of the triangle is

[tex]A =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{36} (26 - x)^{2}[/tex]  ------- (2)

Now the total area = Area of square + Area of triangle

The total area = [tex]\frac{x^{2} }{16} + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{36} (26 - x)^{2}[/tex]  ------- (3)

Differentiate above equation with respect to x we get

[tex]A' = \frac{x}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (26 - x)[/tex]

Take [tex]A' = 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (26 - x) = 0[/tex] ------- (4)

By solving the above equation we get

x = 11.31 m

Again take [tex]A''[/tex] by differentiating equation  (4)

[tex]\frac{x}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{18} (26)[/tex]

Which is greater than zero. so the value x = 11.31 m gives the area minimum.

Thus for the maximize the total area, the all wire i.e. 26 m should be used for the square.
