Again ... Commute times in the U.S. are heavily skewed to the right. We select a random sample of 500 people from the 2000 U.S.

Census who reported a non-zero commute time. In this sample the mean commute time is 27.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 19.6 minutes. Are researchers able to conclude from this data that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour?

Answer:

We conclude that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 500 people from the 2000 U.S. Census is selected who reported a non-zero commute time.

In this sample the mean commute time is 27.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 19.6 minutes.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean commute time in the U.S..</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 30 minutes      {means that the mean commute time in the U.S. is more than or equal to half an hour}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 30 minutes     {means that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                           T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean commute time = 27.6 minutes

            s = sample standard deviation = 19.6 minutes

            n = sample of people from the 2000 U.S. Census = 500

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{27.6 -30}{\frac{19.6}{\sqrt{500} } }  ~ t_4_9_9

                                       =  -2.738

The value of t test statistic is -2.738.

Since, in the question we are not given with the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical values of -1.645 at 499 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of t as -2.378 < -1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis.</u>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean commute time in the U.S. is less than half an hour.

The perimeter of a square is 52 cm.<br> Calculate the area of the square
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

169cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths of the shape. Since a square has equal side lengths, each side must be the same. Divide 52/4=13cm. 13cm is the length of 1 side. Area is length times width, and since each side is 13, multiply 13cm*13cm to get the area, which is 169cm^2,

4⋅f(6)−6⋅g(5) need help asap
Leto [7]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the blue graph of f(x) we can see that the function value is -6 when x = 6.  Similarly, g(5) = -5.

Then:  4*f(6) - 6*g(5) becomes:

           4*(-6) - 6*(-5), or

              -24 +  30  = 6

Eight is added to a number and the sum is doubled, the result is -11 less than the number. Find
inna [77]
If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:

(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11

Then, solve:

2x + 16 = x - 11

2x = x -27

x = -27

This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.

-27 + 8 = -19

-19 x 2 = -38

-38 is 11 less than -27.

Hope this helps :)
