Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

population Mean = 15000

standard deviation= 1200

sample size n = 100

sample mean = 16000

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{H_o : \mu = 15000 }\\ \\ \mathtt{H_1 : \mu > 15000}[/tex]

Using the standard normal z statistics

[tex]z = \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{16000 -15000}{\dfrac{1200 }{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{1000}{\dfrac{1200 }{10}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{1000\times 10}{1200}[/tex]

z = 8.333

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 100 - 1 = 99

level of significance ∝ = 0.05

P - value from the z score = 0.00003

Decision Rule: since the p value is lesser than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis

Conclusion: There is sufficient evidence  that the Dean claim for his graduate students earn more than average salary of $15,000

Dean's Claim of Average Salary = 16000, ie greater than 15000 : is correct

Null Hypothesis [ H0 ] : Average Salary = 15000

Alternate Hypothesis [ H1 ] : Average Salary > 15000

Hypothesis is tested using t statistic.

t = ( x - u ) / ( s / √ n ) ; where -

x = sample mean , u = population mean , s = standard deviation, n = sample size

t = ( 16000 - 15000 ) / ( 1200 / √100 )

= 1000 / 120

t  {Calculated} = 8.33,

Degrees of Freedom = n - 1 = 100 = 1 = 99

Tabulated t 0.05 (one tail) , at degrees of freedom 99 = 1.664

As Calculated t value 8.33 > Tabulated t value 1.664 , So we reject the Null Hypothesis in favour of Alternate Hypothesis.

So, conclusion : Average Salary > 15000

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A simple random sample n = 28

sample standard deviation S = 12.65

standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 11.53

Level of significance ∝ = 0.05

The objective is to test the claim that the number of pieces in a set has a standard deviation different from 11.53.

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

Null hypothesis:

[tex]H_0: \sigma^2 = \sigma_0^2[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis:

[tex]H_1: \sigma^2 \neq \sigma_0^2[/tex]

The test statistics can be determined by using the following formula in order to test if the claim is statistically significant or not.

[tex]X_0^2 = \dfrac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma_0^2}[/tex]

[tex]X_0^2 = \dfrac{(28-1)(12.65)^2}{(11.53)^2}[/tex]

[tex]X_0^2 = \dfrac{(27)(160.0225)}{132.9409}[/tex]

[tex]X_0^2 = \dfrac{4320.6075}{132.9409}[/tex]

[tex]X_0^2 = 32.5002125[/tex]

[tex]X^2_{1- \alpha/2 , df} = X^2_{1- 0.05/2 , n-1}[/tex]

[tex]X^2_{1- \alpha/2 , df} = X^2_{1- 0.025 , 28-1}[/tex]

From the chi-square probabilities table at 0.975 and degree of freedom 27;

[tex]X^2_{0.975 , 27}[/tex] = 14.573

[tex]X^2_{\alpha/2 , df} = X^2_{ 0.05/2 , n-1}[/tex]

[tex]X^2_{\alpha/2 , df} = X^2_{0.025 , 28-1}[/tex]

From the chi-square probabilities table at 0.975 and degree of freedom 27;

[tex]X^2_{0.025 , 27}=[/tex] 43.195

Decision Rule: To reject the null hypothesis if [tex]X^2_0 \ > \ X^2_{\alpha/2 , df} \ \ \ or \ \ \ X^2_0 \ < \ X^2_{1- \alpha/2 , df}[/tex] ; otherwise , do not reject the null hypothesis:

The rejection region is [tex]X^2_0 \ > 43.195 \ \ \ or \ \ \ X^2_0 \ < \ 14.573[/tex]

Conclusion:

We fail to reject the null hypothesis since  test statistic value 32.5002125  lies  between 14.573 and 43.195.

Complete Question

A research center claims that ​30% of adults in a certain country would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. In a random sample of 700 adults in that​ country, ​34% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At ​, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim

Answer:

Yes there is  sufficient evidence to reject the research center's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population proportion is  p = 0.30

      The sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.34[/tex]

       The  sample size is  n = 700

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : p = 0.30[/tex]

 The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p \ne 0.30[/tex]

Here we are going to be making use of  level of significance  =  0.05 to carry out this test

Now we will obtain the critical value of  [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is  [tex]Z_{\alpha } = 1.645[/tex]

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

            [tex]t = \frac{ \r p - p }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ p (1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]t = \frac{ 0.34 - 0.30 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.30 (1-0.30 )}{ 700} } }[/tex]

              [tex]t = 2.31[/tex]

Looking at the values of t  and  [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] we see that [tex]t > Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence the null hypothesis is rejected

 Thus we can conclude that there is  sufficient evidence to reject the research center's claim.

Answer:

Steven ate 3 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

If Johnny ate 3/4 , then Steven at 1 - 3/4  or 1/4

12 * 1/4 = 3

Steven ate 3 pieces

Answer:

3 slices of pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 total slices of pizza. In order to find how much Johnny ate, we must multiply 12 by 3/4.

12/1 × 3/4 OR 12 × 0.75 = 9

Johnny ate 9 slices of pizza.

Then, we have to subtract 9 from 12 to determine how many slices Steven ate.

12 - 9 = 3

Steven ate 3 slices of pizza.

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes her 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of it, we can find the total amount of time it  will take by multiplying 8 by 6, since 1/6 times 6 is 1 (1 represents the whole lawn mowed)

8(6) = 48

The question asks for how many more minutes it will take, so subtract 48 by 8.

48 - 8 = 40

= 40 minutes

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 minutes          x minutes

------------------- = ----------------

1/6 yard                 1 yard

Using cross products

8 * 1 = 1/6 x

Multiply each side by 6

8*6 = 1/6 * x * 6

48 = x

48 minutes total

Answer:

Simple Interest : $ 4400

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the interest on $ 10,000, at 5.5% interest rate per year, over a course of 8 years.

We can use the simple interest formula here, or :

I = P × r × t,

Where P is the principle amount, $ 10,000, r is the interest rate, 5.5% each year, or in decimal form 5.5 / 100 = 0.055. t is the time, 8 years.

Simple Interest : 10000 × 0.055 × 8 =  $4400.00

Then again the interest can be added to the principal amount ( $10,000 ) to receive some new amount after 8 years, which is $ 14,000. However the simple interest earned in 8 years at a rate of 5.5% should be $4400.

The simple interest earned on the amount is $4,400

Interest is the total amount that would be paid or earned from making an investment or taking a loan over a period of time.

Simple Interest  = principal x time x interest rate

principal = amount borrowed = $10,000

time = 8 years

Interest rate = 5.5%

10,000 x 0.055 x 8 = $4,400

Answer:

less than

Step-by-step explanation:

If the normality requirement is not satisfied​ (that is, ​np(1​ - p) is not at least​ 10), then a​ 95% confidence interval about the population proportion will include the population proportion in​ _less than__ 95% of the intervals.

The confidence interval consist of all reasonable values of a population mean. These are value for which the null hypothesis will not be rejected.

So, let assume that If the 95%  confidence interval contains the value for the hypothesized mean, then the sample mean  is reasonably close to the hypothesized mean. The effect of this is that the p- value is going to be greater than 0.05, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

On the other hand,

If the 95%  confidence interval do not contains the value for the hypothesized mean, then the sample mean  is far away from the hypothesized mean. The effect of this is that the p- value is going to be lesser than 0.05, so we reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

1. cups of coffee sold

2.Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. -0.952

4. 70.84

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the dependent variable in this question is the cups of coffee sold

2. least square estimation line

Y = a+bx

we have y as the cups of coffee sold

x as temperature.

first we will have to solve for a and then b

∑X = 450

∑Y = 960

∑XY = 61600

∑X² = 35500

∑Y² = 221800

a = ∑y∑x²-∑x∑xy/n∑x²-(∑x)²

a = 960 * 35500-450*61600/6*35500-450²

a = 6360000/10500

= 605.7

b = n∑xy - ∑x∑y/n∑x²-(∑x)²

= 6*61600 - 450*960/6*35500 - 450²

= -5.943

the regression line

Y = a + bx

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

3. we are to find correlation coefficient

r = n∑xy - ∑x∑y multiplied by√(n∑x²-(∑x)² * (n∑y² - (∑y)²)

= 6*61600 -960*450/√(6*35500 - 450²)*(6*221800 - 960²)

=-62400/√4296600000

= -62400/65548.5

= -0.952

4. we have to predict sales of a 90 degree day fro the regression line

Y = 605.7 - 5.943x

y = 605.7 - 5.943(90)

y = 605.7 - 534.87

which means 150+6%

6% of 150 is 9 (150x0.06)

150+9=159

and it repeats

for 3rd week

6% of 159 is 9.54 (159x0.06)

159+9.54=168.54

for 4th week

6% of 168.54 is 10.1124 (168.54x0.06)

168.54+10.1124=178.652

for 5th week

6% of 178.652 is 10.71912 (178.652x0.06)

178.652+10.71912=189.37112

To find the approximate value of y when

x = 13 and z = 195 we must first find the relationship between them

The statement

y varies jointly with x and z is written as

where k is the constant of proportionality

From the question

y = 2

x = 11

z = 110

We have

2 = 11(110)k

2 = 1210k

Divide both sides by 1210

[tex]k = \frac{1}{605} [/tex]

So the formula for the variation is

[tex]y = \frac{1}{605} xz[/tex]

When

x = 13

z = 195

y is

[tex]y = \frac{1}{605} (13)(195)[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{507}{121} [/tex]

y = 4.1900

We have the final answer as

Answer: 22,103

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and the accumulated interest.

The amount in the account at the end of two years is $22,050.

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and the accumulated interest.

We have,

Principal = $20,000

Rate = r = 5%

It is compounded yearly.

Time = t = 2 years.

The formula for the amount having compound interest:

A = P [tex]( 1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

A = 20,000 [tex](1 + \frac{5}{100\times1})^{2\times1}[/tex]

A = 20,000 ( 1 + 5/100 )²

A = 20,000 ( 105/100 )²

A = (20,000 x 105 x 105) / (100 x 100)

A = 2 x 105 x 105

A = $22,050

Thus the amount in the account at the end of two years is $22,050.

Answer:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the lenght of the two sides of equal lenghts, so the other is x+3

and the perimeter is x+x +x +3

P=3x+3

P=3(x+1)

93=3(x+1)

31=x+1

x=30

so the shorter sides are of 30 centimeters and the longest is 33

Answer:

box plot titled ACT Score with a minimum of 24, quartile 1 of 27, median of 28, quartile 3 of 30, and maximum of 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The scores of the students represented on the dot plot are:

1 dot => 24

3 dots => 26, 26, 26

3 dots => 27, 27, 27

5 dots => 28, 28, 28, 28, 28

3 dots => 30, 30, 30

3 dots => 32, 32, 32

1 dot => 35

Quickly, we can ascertain 3 values from these data points of which we can use to find out which box plot represents the dot plot data.

The minimum score = 24

The maximum score = 35

The median score is the 10th value, which is the middle value of the data point = 28

Therefore, we can conclude that: "box plot titled ACT Score with a minimum of 24, quartile 1 of 27, median of 28, quartile 3 of 30, and maximum of 35".

Answer:

Those ratios could be 3:1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Putting 6 into the first (left) machine will give an output of ...

  y = √(6 -5) = √1 = 1

Putting 1 into the second (right) machine will give an output of ...

  y = 1² -6 = -5

This answers the second question, but not the first question.

__

If we put 6 into the right machine first, we get an output of ...

  y = 6² -6 = 30

Putting 30 into the left machine, we get an output of ...

  y = √(30 -5) = √25 = 5 . . . . . the desired output.

The input must go into the right machine first, then its output goes into the left machine to get a final output of 5 from an input of 6.

__

b) The left machine cannot produce negative outputs, so achieving an output of -5 with the arrangement used in part A is not possible. (green curves in the attached graph)

However, as we have shown above, inputting 6 to the left machine first, following that by processing with the right machine, can produce an output of -5. (purple curve in the attached graph)
