The sample mean is x = 12.8%. let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of wheat crop in that county lost to hai

l. assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 5.0%. do these data indicate that the percentage of wheat crop lost to hail in that county is different (either way) from the national mean of 11%? use α = 0.01.

Given that \bar{x}=12.8\% and \sigma=5.0\%, given that the population mean is \mu=11\% and the sample size is n = 16, the test statistic is given by

z= \frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}  \\  \\ = \frac{12.8-11}{5/\sqrt{16}}  \\  \\ = \frac{1.8}{5/4} = \frac{1.8}{1.25}  \\  \\ =1.44 \\  \\ \Rightarrow p-value=p(z\ \textgreater \ 1.44) \\  \\ =1-P(z\ \textless \ 1.44)=1-0.92507 \\  \\ =0.07493

Since the test is a two tailed test, the p-value is 2(0.07493) = 0.14986

Since the p-value is greater the significant level of α = 0.01, thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no sufficient evidence that <span>the percentage of wheat crop lost to hail in that county is different from the national mean of 11%</span>.

How to solve this limit?
wlad13 [49]
(2x^2/(1-x^2)) + 3^(1/x)  for the first half you can simply divide all terms by the highest power of x to get:

2/(1/x^2-1)  as x approaches infinity you have 2/-1=-2

For the second part the exponent approaches zero as x approaches infinity and anything raised to the zero power is equal to 1 so you have:

-2+1=-1

So the limit as x approaches infinity is -1.

Answer:

17. 49

Step-by-step explanation:

alright so all u gotta know here is that all triangles add up to 180 degrees

17. 50+83= 133

180-133= 49 degrees

18. 44+74= 118

180-118 = 62 degrees
