In a survey of 200 publicly-traded companies, the average price-earnings ratio was 18.5 with a standard deviation of 8.2. When testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance) that the average price-earnings ratio has increased from the past value of 16.8, the null and alternative hypotheses would be:________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Null Hypothesis: H0:μ ≤ 16.8

Alternative Hypothesis: Ha: μ > 16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that affer testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance), that the average price-earnings ratio increased from the past value of 16.8.

It means that the past value was not more than 16.8.

This follows that the null hypothesis is given as;

H0:μ ≤ 16.8

And since it has been discovered that the ratio increased from the past value of 16.8, the alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: μ > 16.8

Answer:

204

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the shape, you can do multiple things. I've opted to shave down both prongs to take it from a 'T' shape to a rectangular prism.

For height of the prongs, take 4 from 6.

6 - 4 = 2

Divide by 2 as there are 2 prongs.

2 / 2 = 1

Remember L * W * H

6 * 3 * 1 = 18

Remember that there are two prongs!

3 + 4 = 7

6 * 7 * 4 = 168

168 + 2(18) = 204

It takes amy 8 minutes to mow 1/6 of her backyard. At that rate how many more minutes will it take her to finish mowing her backyard

Answers

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

She has already done 8 minutes

48-8 = 40 minutes

if given the diameter how can you find the radius

Answers

Answer:

Divide the diameter by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of any circle is always the end to the center.

The diameter is a point of the circle to the opposite side.

This means that the diameter is twice the size of the radius, so to find the radius from the diameter, divide the diameter by 2.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Divide the diameter by 2. d/2=r

Step-by-step explanation:

If a diameter has been given instead of a radius, you can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2, for example.

A line passes through (-5, -3) and is parallel to -3x - 7y = 10. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is _____

Answers

Answer:

-3x - 7y = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line -3x - 7y = 10 has an infinite number of parallel lines, all of the form -3x - 7y = C.

If we want the equation of a line parallel to -3x - 7y = 10 that passes through (-5, -3), we substitute -5 for x in -3x - 7y = 10 and substitute -3 for y in -3x - 7y = 10:

-3(-5) - 7(-3) = C, or

15  + 21 = C, or C = 36

Then the desired equation is -3x - 7y = 36.

Answers

Answer: 1ft/sec = 0.618 mi/hr

Explanation:

88 ft/sec = 60 mi/hr
88/88 ft/sec = 60/88 mi/hr (divide both sides by 88)
1 ft/sec = 60/88 mi/hr

Two sides of a triangle are equal length. The length of the third side exceeds the length of one of the other sides by 3 centimeters. The perimeter of the triangle is 93 centimeters. Find the length of each of the shorter sides of the triangle

Answers

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

ax-5d=3cx-2+7

Answers

Answer:

  x = (5 +5d)/(a -3c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you're to solve for x.

__

This is a typical "3-step" linear equation.

First, you collect terms with the variable x on one side of the equation. You do that by subtracting from both sides the x-term you don't want where it is.

We choose to remove the 3cx term from the right side, so we subtract it from both sides.

  ax -3cx -5d = 3cx -3cx +5 . . . . . . we have combined the constants, too

  x(a -3c) -5d = 5 . . . . . . simplify and factor out x

Second, you remove any terms not containing x from the side of the equation with the x-terms. You do that by adding their opposite to both sides of the equation.

We need to remove the -5d term, so we add 5d to both sides.

  x(a -3c) -5d +5d = 5 +5d

  x(a -3c) = 5 +5d . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Third, we divide by the coefficient of x. We do that to both sides of the equation. We had to put parentheses around the terms on the right, because we're dividing the whole right side of the equation by (a-3c).

  x(a -3c)/(a -3c) = (5 +5d)/(a -3c)

  x = (5 +5d)/(a -3c)

Answers

Answer:

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.

The correct option is (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that, in a game of roulette the  wheel consists of slots numbered​ 00, 0,​ 1, 2,​ ..., 33.

The sample space of an experiment, is the set of all the possible outcomes of the random trials.

There are a total of 35 slots on the roulette wheel where the ball can land.

So, there are a total of 35 outcomes for one rotation of the wheel.

Then the sample space consists of all the 35 outcomes, i.e.

S = {00, 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 33}

Thus, the correct option is (B).

An economist is interested in studying the spending habits of consumers in a particular region. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,000. A random sample of 50 individuals resulted in an average expense of $15,000. What is the width of the 99% confidence interval for the mean of expense? a. 364.28 b. 728.55 c. 329.00 d. 657.99

Answers

Answer:

The  width is  [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \% 1,000[/tex]

    The  sample size is  [tex]n = 50[/tex]

    The sample mean  is  [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  99% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as  

               [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

=>            [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]

=>             [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is

             [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.01 }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Generally margin of error is mathematically represented as

             [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

              [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

               [tex]E = 364.9[/tex]

The width of the 99% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]w = 2 * E[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]w = 2 * 364.9[/tex]

          [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

Answer:

b = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(b-9) = 3
