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>.

White raven [17]

Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 35 , 36 and 37 years respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are <u>consecutive whole numbers</u> and Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest.

So, lets assume that Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are  n, n+1 and n+2

Given that, the sum of their ages is 108. So, the equation will be.....

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=108\\ \\ 3n+3=108\\ \\ 3n=108-3=105\\ \\ n=\frac{105}{3}=35

So, Stan's age is 35 years , Mark's age is (35+1)= 36 years and Wayne's age is (35+2)= 37 years.
