Consider testing H^0: u=20 against H^a: u<20 where u is the mean number of latex gloves used per week by all hospital employe

iragen [17]

Answer:

Part a: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=46-1=45$

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(45)}$

Part b: Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not lower than 20 at 1% of signficance.

a. There is insufficient evidence to reject h^0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=19.1$ represent the sample mean

$s=11.8$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=46$ sample size

$\mu_o =20$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is lower than 20, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 20$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 20$

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{19.1-20}{\frac{11.8}{\sqrt{46}}}=-0.517$

Part a: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=46-1=45$

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(45)}$

Part b: Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not lower than 20 at 1% of signficance.

The formula for the volume of a right triangular pyramid is V = 1/6 bhx, where b is the base of the triangle, h is the height of

charle [14.2K]

Answer: x = 6V/bh

Explanation:

V = 1/6 bhx
V = (bh/6)x
V • 6/bh = x
6V/bh = x

A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 50000 spectators. When the ticket price is $10, the average attendance is 27000. W

crimeas [40]

Answer:

the answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Demand seems to be based on price.

Therefore we must consider two things:

that "x" is equal to the price and that "y" is equal to the average attendance.

Thus:

the two points would be:

(x1, y1) = (10,27000)

(x2, y2) = (6.39000)

The slope of a straight line is given by:

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

we replace:

m = (39000 - 27000) / (6 - 10) = 12000 / -4 = -3000

The equation of a straight line can be expressed like this

y = m * x + b.

where

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

we replace

y = -3000 * x + b.

To solve for b, replace x and y with the value of one of the points on the line.

We choose (6.39000). and we replace:

39000 = -3000 * 6 + b

39000 = -18000 + b

39000 + 18000 = b

b = 57000.

if we replace we have:

the equation becomes y = -3000 * x + 57000

since it is the demand and * x is the price.

t = d (x), therefore the equation becomes

d (x) = -3000 * x + 57000.

d (x) = 57000 - 3000 * x.

when x = 0, the price is 0 and the demand will be 57000, which will be more than the stadium can contain because the stadium can only contain 50,000.

So:

when x = 6, the price is 6 and the demand is 57000 - 18000 = 39000.

when x = 10, the price is 10 and the demand is 57000 - 30000 = 27000.

Write an equation of a line that passes through (-6, 1), parallel to y = 2x – 6.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's parallel, that means that the slope is the opposite of the one in the given equation, meaning that 2 would be flipped and turned negative into -1/2.

Then, fill in the x and y values to get the y-intercept.

1 = -1/2(-6) + b

1 = 3 + b

-2 = b

So your answer is y = -1/2x - 2
