A cereal box filling machine is designed to release an amount of 16 ounces of cereal into each box, and the machine’s manufactur

er wants to know of any departure from this setting. The engineers at the factory randomly sample 150 boxes of cereal and find a sample mean of 15.75 ounces. If we know from previous research that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.46 ounces, is there evidence that the mean amount of cereal in each box is different from 16 ounces at 0.05 significance? State the hypotheses, list and check the conditions, calculate the test statistic, find the p-value, and make a conclusion in a complete sentence related to the scenario.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the p-value is less than 0.05, there is evidence that the mean amount of cereal in each box is different from 16 ounces at 0.05 significance.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is not different to 16 ounces, that is:

H_0: \mu = 16

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is different, hence:

H_1: \mu \neq 16

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation of the population.
  • n is the sample size.

The parameters for this problem are:

\overline{x} = 15.75, \mu = 16, \sigma = 1.46, n = 150.

Hence:

z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{15.75 - 16}{\frac{1.46}{\sqrt{150}}}

z = -2.1

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion?</h3>

Using a z-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with z = -2.1, the p-value is of 0.0357.

Since the p-value is less than 0.05, there is evidence that the mean amount of cereal in each box is different from 16 ounces at 0.05 significance.

It’s late work and I’ve forgotten how to do it

You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable.  You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation.  If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2.  If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.


10)
-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6

STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24

STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2

-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out

-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3

y= -5

STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x

x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6

x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides

x= -21

ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5
____________________

12)
-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19

STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x

-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57

STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x

-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out

19x= 38
divide both sides by 19

x= 2

STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation

-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19

-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides

y= -5

ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5

Hope this helps!  :)

Andrei [34K]

Given:

Karen earns $54.60 for working 6 hours.

Amount she earns varies directly with the  number of hours she works.

She need to work to earn an  additional $260.

To find:

Number of hours she need to work to earn an  additional $260.

Solution:

Let the amount of earnings be A and number of hours be t.

According to question,

A\propto t

A=kt     ...(i)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

Karen earns $54.60 for working 6 hours.

54.60=k(6)

Divide both sides by 6.

\dfrac{54.60}{6}=k

9.1=k

Put k=9.1 in (i).

A=9.1t

Substitute A=260 in the above equation.

260=9.1t

Divide both sides by 9.1.

\dfrac{260}{9.1}=t

28.5714=t

t\approx 29

Therefore, she need to work extra about 29 hours to earn an  additional $260.
