In 2010, the average duration of long-distance telephone calls originating in one town was 9.4 minutes. A long-distance telephon

e company wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average duration of long-distance phone calls has changed from the 2010 mean of 9.4 minutes. The mean duration for a random sample of 50 calls originating in the town was 8.6 minutes. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean call duration, µ, is different from the 2010 mean of 9.4 minutes? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01. Assume that s = 4.8 minutes.

<u>Answer</u>: No, we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean call duration, µ, is different from the 2010 mean of 9.4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

H_0: \mu=9.4\\\\H_a:\mu\neq9.4, since H_0 is two-tailed so , the test is a two tail test.

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so we use t-test.

Critical value (two-tailed) for significance level of 0.01= t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.005}\pm2.609228

For n =50 , \overline{x}=8.6 and s= 4.8

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t=\dfrac{8.6-9.4}{\dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{50}}}\approx-1.18

Since test statistic value (-1.18) lies in critical interval (-2.609228, 2.609228), it means the null hypothesis is failed to reject.

We do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean call duration, µ, is different from the 2010 mean of 9.4 minutes.

Point C ∈ AB and AB=18 cm. The distance from C to A is 3 cm. shorter than the distance from C to B. Find AC and CB.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

AC=7.5 cm

CB=10.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know the distance from C to B, we can label it as x. Our equation will be x+(x-3)=18. Simplify that so it is 2x-3=18. Add 3 to both sides and get 2x=21. x=10.5 So AC=7.5 cm and CB is 10.5 cm
