A simple random sample of 40 recorded speeds (in mi/h) is obtained from cars traveling on a specific highway. The sample has a m

ean of 68.4mi / h and a standard deviation of 5.7mi / h . Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean speed of all cars is greater than the posted speed limit of 65mi / h . State the initial and final conclusion.

We need to reject the null hypothesis; there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean speed is greater than 65 miles / hour.

<h3>What is normal distribution?</h3>

'Normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution wherein values lie in a symmetrical fashion mostly situated around the mean.'

According to the given problem,

Since the sample size is fairly large (n > 30), we use normal distribution.

The null hypothesis tested is

Mean speed of all cars ≤ 65 miles/hour. (µ ≤ 65)

The alternative hypothesis is

Mean speed of all cars > 65 miles/hour. (µ > 65)

Significance level = 0.05

The test statistic used is Z = \bar{x} - µ/σ / √ n, where \bar{x} = 68.4, n = 40, σ = 5.7

Therefore, Z = 68.4 - 65 / 5.7 /√40 = 3.77254177

If the calculated value of test statistic is greater than the critical value at the 0.05 significance level,

Upper critical value = 1.644853627

P-value = P (Z > 3.77254177) = 0.000080796

Hence, we can conclude that we should reject the null hypothesis since there is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean speed is greater than 65 miles / hour.

Since we need your monthly bill we will call it the variable B for now, (Unless you have the bill, if so replace it with the variable)
Multiply 1.64 x B since the exchange rate is different than the US bill,
For example, say your bill is $100 in the U.S.
You do 1.64 x 100 = A monthly bill of $164 if you lived in Britain

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

425\geq x

425 pounds or less can be added after the student and football player.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = remaining weight

(note that >/= is greater than or equal to.)

800 - 280 - 95 >/= x

425 >/= x
