Weaning weights are used to evaluate di erences in growth potential of calves. A random sample of 41 steer calves is taken from a large ranch. The sample yields a mean weaning weight of 578 with a standard deviation of 87 lbs. This particular ranch is targeting an average weaning weight of 610 lbs. Perform a hypothesis test using = 0:01 to determine if the average weaning weight of cows at this ranch is di erent than 610 lbs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We accept H₀  the weaning weights of cows at this ranch is 610 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume normal distribution

Population mean      μ₀  = 610  lbs

Population standard deviation     unknown

sample size  n = 41

degree of fredom    df = n - 1    df  =  41 - 1   df = 40

Sample mean    X = 578  lbs

Sample standard deviation   s  =  87

As we don´t know standard deviation of the population we will use t- student test, furthemore, as  we are looking for any difference upper and lower we are in presence of a two tails test

Test Hypothesis    Null  hypothesis    H₀                X  =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis                         Hₐ                X  ≠  μ₀

Now at α  = 0,01 ,   df  = 40   and two tail test we find   t = 2,4347

We have in t table

30 df           t  =  2,457        for       α  = 0,01

60 df           t  = 2,390         for      α   = 0,01

Δ = 30               0,067

     10                    x  ??       x = 0,022

then  2,457  -  0,022  =  2,4347

t = 2,4347

Now we compute the interval:

X ±  t * ( s/√n)    ⇒   578  ±  2,4347 * ( 87/√41)

578  ±  2,4347 * 13,59

578  ±  33,09

P [ 578 + 33,09  ;  578 - 33,09 ]

P ( 611,09 ; 544,91]

We can see that vale 610 = μ₀   is inside the iinterval , so we accept H₀ the weaning weight of cows in the ranch is 610 lbs

Calculate the lateral area of the cube if the perimeter of the base is 12

Answers

Answer:

The lateral surface area of cube = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given perimeter of the cube is 12

let 'a' be the base of cube

we know that the perimeter of cube formula = 12 a

        12 a= 12

           a = 1

The side of cube = 1cm

The lateral surface area of cube = 4 × a²

                                                      = 4 X (1)²

                                                      = 4

Final answer:-

The lateral surface area of cube = 4

Answers

Answer:

The answer is [tex]\pi(\pi-6)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that green theorem is as follows: Given a field F(x,y) = (P(x,y),Q(x,y)) and a closed curve C that is counterclockwise oriented. If P and Q are continuosly differentiable, then

[tex]\oint_C F\cdot dr = \int_{R} \frac{\partial P }{\partial y}-\frac{\partial P }{\partial x} dA[/tex]

where R is the region enclosed by the curve C.

In this particular case, we have the following field [tex]F(x,y) = (4xy^2,2x^3+y)[/tex]. We are given the description of the region R as [tex]0\leq y \leq \sin(x), 0\leq x \leq \pi[/tex]. So, in this case (calculations are omitted)

[tex]\frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = 8xy, \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} = 6x[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\oint_C F\cdot dr =\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{\sin(x)}(8xy-6x)dydx[/tex]

So,

[tex] \int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{\sin(x)}(8xy-6x)dydx=\int_{0}^{\pi}4x\left.y^2\right|_{0}^{\sin(x)}-6x\left.y\right|_{0}^{\sin(x)} = \int_{0}^{\pi} 4x\sin^2(x)-6x\sin(x)dx[/tex]

Since [tex]\sin^2(x) = \frac{1-\cos(2x)}{2}[/tex], then

[tex] \int_{0}^{\pi} 4x\sin^2(x)-6x\sin(x)dx = \int_{0}^{\pi} 2x(1-\cos(2x))-6x\sin(x)dx[/tex]

Consider the integrals

[tex] I_1 = \int_{0}^{\pi} x\cos(2x)dx, I_2 = \int_{0}^{\pi}x\sin(x)dx[/tex]

Then, by using integration by parts (whose calculations are omitted) we get

[tex]\int_{0}^{\pi} x\cos(2x) = \left.\frac{x\sin(2x)}{2}+\frac{\cos(2x)}{4}\right|_{0}^{\pi} = \frac{\pi\sin(2\pi)}{2}+\frac{\cos(2\pi)}{4}- \frac{0\sin(2\cdot 0)}{2}+\frac{\cos(2\cdot 0)}{4}=0[/tex]

[tex] \int_{0}^{\pi}x\sin(x) = \left.-x\cos(x)+\sen(x)\right |_{0}^{\pi} = -\pi\cos(\pi)+\sen(\pi)- (-0\cdot \cos(\pi)+\sin(0)) = \pi[/tex]

Then, we have that

[tex]\int_{0}^{\pi} 2x(1-\cos(2x))-6x\sin(x)dx = \left.x^2\right|_{0}^{\pi} -2I_1-6I_2 = \pi^2-2\cdot 0 -6\pi = \pi(\pi-6)[/tex]

A continuous random variable can take infinite values in the range associated function of that variable. Consider [tex]f\left( x \right)f(x)[/tex] is a function of a continuous random variable within the range [tex]\left[ {a,b} \right][a,b][/tex] , then the total probability in the range of the function is defined as:

[tex]\int\limits_a^b {f\left( x \right)dx} = 1 a∫b​ f(x)dx=1[/tex]

The probability of the function [tex]f\left( x \right)f(x)[/tex] is always greater than 0. The cumulative distribution function is defined as:

[tex]F\left( x \right) = P\left( {X \le x} \right)F(x)=P(X≤x)[/tex]

The cumulative distribution function for the random variable X has the property,

[tex]0 \le F\left( x \right) \le 10≤F(x)≤1[/tex]

The probability density function for the random variable X has the properties,

[tex]\\\begin{array}{c}\\{\rm{ }}f\left( x \right) \ge 0\\\\\int\limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {f\left( x \right)dx} = 1\\\\P\left( E \right) = \int\limits_E {f\left( x \right)dx} \\\end{array} f(x)≥0[/tex]
