Suppose that the director of manufacturing at a clothing factory needs to determine whether a new machine is producing a particular type of cloth according to the manufacturer’s specifications, which indicate that the cloth should have a mean breaking strength of 70 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds. A sample of 49 pieces reveals a sample mean of 69.1 pounds.

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

(b) Is there evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength? (Use a 0.05 level of significance.)

(c) Compute the p-value and interpret its meaning.

(d) What will your answer be in (b) if the standard deviation is 1.75 pounds?

(e) What will your answer be in (b) if the sample mean is 69 pounds?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.H0 : u1= u2 against Ha : u1≠ u2 This is a two sided test

b) There isn't enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

c) the p- value is 0.0359*2= 0.0718. It is greater than the value of ∝ so there isn't enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

d) There is enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

e) There isn't enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as

a) H0 : u1= u2 against Ha : u1≠ u2 This is a two sided test

Here ∝= 0.005

For alpha by 2 for a two tailed test Z∝/2 = ± 1.96

Standard deviation = s= 3.5 pounds

n= 49

The test statistic used here is

Z = x- x`/ s/√n

Z= 69.1- 70 / 3.5 / √49

Z= -1.80

Since the calculated value of Z= -1.80 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis.

b) There isn't enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

c) the p- value is 0.0359*2= 0.0718. It is greater than the value of ∝ so there isn't enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

d) If standard deviation is 1.75 pounds

The test statistic used here is

Z = x- x`/ s/√n

Z= 69.1- 70 / 1.75 / √49

Z= -3.6

This value does not fall in the critical region.

d) There is enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

e) If the sample mean is 69 pounds

Z = x- x`/ s/√n

Z= 69.1- 69 / 3.5 / √49

Z= 0.2

This value falls in the critical region

e) There isn't enough evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer’s specifications in terms of the average breaking strength.

Answers

Answer:

(A) The shape of the distribution of the sample mean is bell-shaped.

(B) The standard error of the distribution of the sample mean is 1.1.

(C) The proportion of the samples that have a mean useful life of more than 36 hours is 0.1814.

(D) The proportion of the sample that has a mean useful life greater than 34.5 hours is 0.6736.

(E) The proportion of the sample that has a mean useful life between 34.5 and 36.0 hours is 0.4922.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Power +, Inc. produces AA batteries used in remote-controlled toy cars. The mean life of these batteries follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of 35.0 hours and a standard deviation of 5.5 hours.

As a part of its quality assurance program, Power +, Inc. tests samples of 25 batteries.

Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean life of these batteries

(A) The shape of the distribution of the sample mean will be bell-shaped because the sample mean also follows the normal distribution as it is taken from the population data only.

(B) The standard error of the distribution of the sample mean is given by;

            Standard error =  [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Here, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 5.5 hours

         n = sample of batteries = 25

So, the standard error =  [tex]\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} }[/tex]  = 1.1.

(C) The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                               Z  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean life of battery = 35.0 hours

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 5.5 hours

            n = sample of batteries = 25

Now, the proportion of the samples that will have a mean useful life of more than 36 hours is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 36 hours)

     

       P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 36 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{36-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > 0.91) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.91)

                                                               = 1 - 0.8186 = 0.1814

(D) The proportion of the samples that will have a mean useful life of more than 34.5 hours is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 34.5 hours)

     

       P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 34.5 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{34.5-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > -0.45) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.45)

                                                                    = 0.6736

(E) The proportion of the samples that will have a mean useful life between 34.5 and 36.0 hours is given by = P(34.5 hrs < [tex]\bar X[/tex] > 36 hrs)

     P(34.5 hrs < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hrs) = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hrs) - P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 34.5 hrs)

     P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{36-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.91) = 0.8186

     P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 34.5 hours) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{34.5-35}{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -0.45) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.45)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.6736 = 0.3264                              

Therefore, P(34.5 hrs < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 36 hrs) = 0.8186 - 0.3264 = 0.4922.

Given that

and
[tex]7\sqrt{3q-1}=2[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]p + {q}^{2} [/tex]​

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given expressions are:

● √(2p-7) = 3

● 7√(3q-1) = 2

We are told to evaluate p+q^2

To do that let's find the values of p and q^2

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's start with p.

● √(2p-7) = 3

Square both sides

● (2p-7) = 3^2

● 2p-7 = 9

Add 7 to both sides

● 2p-7+7 = 9+7

● 2p = 16

Divide both sides by 2

● 2p/2 = 16/2

● p = 8

So the value of p is 8

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let's find the value of q^2

● 7√(3q-1) = 2

Square both sides

● 7^2 × (3q-1) = 2^2

● 49 × (3q-1) = 4

● 49 × 3q - 49 × 1 = 4

● 147q - 49 = 4

Add 49 to both sides

● 147q -49 +49 = 4+49

● 147q = 53

Divide both sides by 147

● 147q/147 = 53/147

● q = 53/ 147

Square both sides

● q^2 = 53^2 / 147^2

● q^2 = 2809/21609

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● p+q^2 = 8 +(2809/21609)

● p+q^2 = (2809 + 8×21609)/21609

● p+q^2 = 175681 / 21609

● p + q^2 = 8.129

Round it to the nearest unit

● p+ q^2 = 8

According to the Federal Communications Commission, 70% of all U.S. households have vcrs. In a random sample of 15 households, what is the probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs?

Answers

Answer:

The probability  is  [tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  probability of success is    p = 0.70

     The  sample size is  [tex]n = 15[/tex]

Generally the distribution of U.S. households have vcrs follow a binomial distribution given that there are only two outcome (household having vcrs or household not having vcrs )

The probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as

       [tex]q = 1- p[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]q = 1- 0.70[/tex]

      [tex]q = 0.30[/tex]

The probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs is mathematically represented as

          [tex]P(x < 13) = 1- [P(13) + P(14) + P(15)][/tex]

=>     [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13} *p^{13}* q^{15-13})+ (\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14} *p^{14}* q^{15-14}) +( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15} *p^{15}* q^{15-15}) ][/tex]

 Here  [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13}[/tex] means  15 combination 13 and the value is  105 (obtained from calculator)

 Here  [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14}[/tex] means  15 combination 14 and the value is  15 (obtained from calculator)

 

 Here  [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15}[/tex] means  15 combination 15 and the value is  1 (obtained from calculator)

So

 [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *p^{13}* q^{2})+ (15 *p^{14}* q^{1}) +(1*p^{15}* q^{0}) ][/tex]

substituting values      

 [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *(0.70)^{13}* (0.30)^{2})+ (15 *(0.70)^{14}* (0.30)^{1}) +(1*(0.70)^{15}* (0.30)^{0}) ][/tex]

 [tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]

     

There are $400$ pages in Sheila's favorite book. The average number of words per page in the book is $300$. If she types at an average rate of $40$ words per minute, how many hours will it take to type the $400$ pages of the book?

Answers

Answer:

50hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 400 pages in Sheila's favorite book.

The average number of words per page in the book is 300

She types an average rate of 40words per minute.

So to type 400pages of the book

Total number of words in the pages = 400×300 = 120000 words

Typing rate : 40words ------- 1minute

120000 words ----------- x minutes

Hence we have 40 × X mins = 120000 × 1min

Make X the subject

40X = 120000minutes

X = 120000/40

X = 3000minutes

Since 60minutes = 1hour

3000minutes = 3000minutes/60

= 50hours

Hence it took her 50hours to type 400pages

Solution:

The total number of words in the book is 400 x 300. Sheila types at a rate of 40 words per minute, or 40 x 60 words per hour. The number of hours it takes her is equal to the number of words divided by her rate of typing, or 400x300/40x60 = 50 hours.

From the diagram attached below;

We consider;

[tex]\overline {BC}[/tex] to be the height of the tree and [tex]\overline {DE}[/tex] to be the height of how tall you could be and still be completely in the shadow of the tree.

∠D = ∠B = 90°

Also;

ΔEAD = ΔBAC   (similar triangles)

Therefore, their sides will also be proportional

i.e

[tex]\dfrac{\overline {DE}}{ \overline {BC}}= \dfrac{\overline{AD}}{ \overline{AC}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x}{ 45}= \dfrac{225-220}{225}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x}{ 45}= \dfrac{25}{225}[/tex]

By cross multiply

225x = 45 × 25

[tex]x = \dfrac{45 \times 25}{225}[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{1125}{225}[/tex]

x = 5.0 ft

Therefore, you could stand at 5.0 ft and still be completely in the shadow of the tree

A sample of 81 observations is taken from a normal population with a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is 40. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.

Answers

Answer:

38.911≤p≤41.089

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating confidence interval for a population mean us as shown below;

CI = xbar ± Z×S/√N where;

xbar is the sample mean = 40

Z is the z score at 95% confidence interval = 1.96

S is the standard deviation = 5

N is the sample size = 81

Substituting this parameters in the formula we have;

CI = 40±1.96×5/√81

CI = 40±(1.96×5/9)

CI = 40±(1.96×0.556)

CI = 40±1.089

CI = (40-1.089, 40+1.089)

CI = (38.911, 41.089)

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is 38.911≤p≤41.089

Answer:

38.9 ≤ U ≤ 41.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean, m = 40; standard deviation, α = 5; Confidence limit, U = 95% or 0.95

N = 81

The standard error, α(m) = α/√(N) = 5/√81 =5/9

Using table: 0.95 = 0.0379

Z(0.95) = 2 - 0.0379 = 1.9621 or 1.96

Hence, confidence interval = { m - 1.96(α/√N) ≤ U ≤ m +1.96(α/√N)}

But, 1.96(α/√N) = 1.96 X 5/9 = 1.96 X 0.56 = 1.1

(40 - 1.1 ≤ U ≤ 40 + 1.1)

∴ the confidence interval = 38.9 ≤ U ≤ 41.1

If SSR is 2592 and SSE is 608, then A. the standard error would be large. B. the coefficient of determination is .23. C. the slope is likely to be insignificant. D. the coefficient of determination is .81.

Answers

Answer:

D. the coefficient of determination is .81.

Step-by-step explanation:

SST = SSE + SSR

where

SST is the summation of square total

SSE is the summation of squared error estimate = 608

SSR is the summation of square of residual = 2593

with these in mind we put the values into the formula

= 2592 + 608

=3200

Coefficient of determination = SSR/SST

= 2592/3200

= 0.81

Therefore option D is the correct answer to the question.

Answers

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Find the minimum sample size n needed to estimate μ For the given values of​ c, σ​, and E. c=0.98​, σ=6.5​, and E=22 Assume that a preliminary sample has at least 30 members.

Answer : 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

E = 2.2,

std ( σ ) = 6.5

c ( level of confidence ) = 0.98

To find the minimum sample size

we have to first obtain the value of  [tex]Z_{a/2}[/tex]  

note : a can be found using this relation :

( 1 - a ) = 0.98 ----- equation 1

a = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

hence:  a/2 = 0.01

This means that P( Z ≤ z ) = 0.99  the value of z can be found using the table of standard normal distribution. from the table the value of z = 2.33

P( Z ≤ 2.33 ) = 0.99

To obtain the sample size n

[tex]n = (\frac{std*z}{E} )^{2}[/tex]

n = [tex](\frac{6.5*2.33}{2.2} )^2[/tex] =  (6.88409)^2

Therefore n ≈ 48

where r is the radius

From the question to calculate the radius we use the formula

radius = diameter / 2

diameter =70mm

radius = 70/2 = 35 mm

Given the number of trials and the probability of success, determine the probability indicated: a. n = 15, p = 0.4, find P(4 successes) b. n = 12, p = 0.2, find P(2 failures) c. n = 20, p = 0.05, find P(at least 3 successes)

Answers

Answer:

A)0.126775 B)0.000004325376 C) 0.07548

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A.) a. n = 15, p = 0.4, find P(4 successes)

a = number of trials p=probability of success

P(4 successes) = P(x = 4)

USING:

nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

15C4 * 0.4^4 * (1-0.4)^(15-4)

1365 * 0.0256 * 0.00362797056

= 0.126775

B)

b. n = 12, p = 0.2, find P(2 failures),

P(2 failures) = P(12 - 2) = p(10 success)

USING:

nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

12C10 * 0.2^10 * (1-0.2)^(12-10)

66 * 0.0000001024 * 0.64

= 0.000004325376

C) n = 20, p = 0.05, find P(at least 3 successes)

P(X≥ 3) = p(3) + p(4) + p(5) +.... p(20)

To avoid complicated calculations, we can use the online binomial probability distribution calculator :

P(X≥ 3) = 0.07548

Daniel and Jack together sell 96 tickets to a raffle. Daniel sold 12 more tickets than his friend. How many raffle tickets each friend sell?

Answers

Answer:

Daniel sold 54 and Jack sold 42

Step-by-step explanation:

D = number of tickets that Daniel sold

J = number of tickets that Jack sold

D + J = 96

D = 12+ J

Substitute the second equation into the first equation

12 + J + J = 96

Combine like terms

12 + 2J = 96

Subtract 12 from each side

2J = 84

Divide by 2

J = 42

D = J+12

D = 54

Daniel sold 54 and Jack sold 42

Answer:

Jack sold 42 & Daniel sold 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

96 - 12 = 84

84 / 2 = 42

Jack sold 42.

42 + 12 = 54

Daniel sold 54.

42 + 54 = 96

Records indicate that x years after 2008, the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community was T(x) =20x^2+40x+600 dollars.

Required:
a. At what rate was the property tax increasing with respect to time in 2008?
b. By how much did the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012?

Answers

Answer:

a) 40 dollars

b) 480 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community modelled by the equation T(x) =20x²+40x+600, the rate at which the property tax is increasing with respect to time in 2008 can be derived by solving for the function T'(x) at x=0

T'(x) = 2(20)x¹ + 40x° + 0

T'(x) = 40x+40

At x = 0,

T'(0) = 40(0)+40

T'(0) = 40

Hence the property tax was increasing at a rate of 40dollars with respect to the initial year (2008).

b) There are 4 years between 2008 and 2012. To know how much that the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012, we will find T(4) - T(0)

Given T(x) =20x²+40x+600

T(4) =20(4)²+40(4)+600

T(4) = 320+160+600

T(4) = 1080 dollars

Also T(0) =20(0)²+40(0)+600

T(0) = 0+0+600

T(0)= 600 dollars

T(4) - T(0) = 1080 - 600

T(4) - T(0) = 480 dollars

Hence, the tax has changed by $480 between 2008 and 2012

The mean weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. Does the sample data show a significant increase in the average birthrate at a 5% level of significance?
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is 6.6 lb.
B. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than 6.6 lb.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is greater than 6.6 lb.
D. Cannot calculate because the population standard deviation is unknown

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is  A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  population is  [tex]\mu = 6.6[/tex]

     The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]

      The sample data is  9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds

The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 6.6[/tex]

 The Alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu > 6.6[/tex]

The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is

                       [tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05 } = 1.645[/tex]

Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as

      [tex]\=x = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]\=x = \frac{9.0 + 7.3 + 6.0+ 8.8+ 6.8+ 8.4+6.6 }{7}[/tex]

      [tex]\=x = 7.5571[/tex]

The standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

           [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum [ x - \= x ]}{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ [ 9.0-7.5571]^2 + [7.3 -7.5571]^2 + [6.0-7.5571]^2 + [8.8- 7.5571]^2 + [6.8- 7.5571]^2 + [8.4 - 7.5571]^2+ [6.6- 7.5571]^2 }{7} }[/tex][tex]\sigma = 1.1774[/tex]

Generally the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as

            [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu } { \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]t = \frac{7.5571 - 6.6 } { \frac{1.1774 }{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]

            [tex]t = 1.4274[/tex]

Looking at the value of  t and  [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex]   we see that [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

  What this implies is that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample data show as significant increase in the average birth rate

The conclusion is that the mean is  [tex]\mu = 6.6 \ lb[/tex]

A test is being conducted to test the difference between two population means using data that are gathered from a matched pairs experiment. If the paired differences are normal, then the distribution used for testing is the:

Answers

Answer:

Student t-distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, a test is being conducted to test the difference between two population "means" using data that are gathered from a matched pairs experiment. If the paired differences are normal, then the distribution used for testing is the student t-distribution.

In Statistics and probability, a student t-distribution can be defined as the probability distribution which can be used to estimate population parameters when the population variance is not known (unknown) and the sample population is relatively small. The student t-distribution is a statistical distribution which was published in 1908 by William Sealy Gosset.

A student t-distribution has a similar curve with the normal distribution curve, except that it is fatter and a little bit shorter.
