Answer:

The pvalue of 0.0113 < 0.05 means that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

$H_{0} = 28$

The alternate hypotesis is:

$H_{1} < 28$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

A recent survey of 50 executives who were laid off during a recent recession revealed it took a mean of 26 weeks for them to find another position.

This means that $n = 50, X = 26$

Assume the population standard deviation is 6.2 weeks.

This means that $\sigma = 6.2$

Does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

We have to find the pvalue of Z, looking at the z-table, when $\mu = 28$ . It if is lower than 0.05, it provides evidence.

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{26 - 28}{\frac{6.2}{\sqrt{50}}}$

$z = -2.28$

$z = -2.28$ has a pvalue of 0.0113 < 0.05.

The pvalue of 0.0113 < 0.05 means that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to find another position is less than 28 weeks at the 5% level of significance

2.25meter long and 1.8 meters wide what is the area

Alexxandr [17]

I'm assuming that you're talking about the dimensions of a rectangle. To find the area, you can multiply the length (2.25 meters) by the width (1.8 meters).

2.25*1.8=4.05
The area would be 4.05 sq. meters

The total cost of painting of four walls of a square hall at Rs. 40 per sq. m. is Rs. 12000. If the hall contains 600 m³ of air,

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The height of the hall is 9.375 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which the walls of the square hall are painted, R = Rs. 40 per sq. m.

The total cost of painting the square hall, C = Rs. 12,000

The volume of air contained in the hall, V = 600 m³

The surface area of the four walls of the hall, A = C/A

∴ A = Rs. 12,000/(Rs. 40/m²) = 300 m²

Let 's' represent the length of sides of the square hall, and let 'h' represent the height of the square wall, we have;

The volume of the hall, V = s² × h

The surface area of the wall, A = 4 × s × h

Therefore, we get;

A = 300 = 4 × s × h

V = 600 = s² × h

V/A = 600/300 = 2 = s² × h/(4 × s × h) = s/4

s/4 = 2

s = 4 × 2 = 8

The side length of the square hall, s = 8 m.

From the area, A = 4 × s × h, we get;

A = 300 = 4 × 8 × h

h = 300/(4 × 8) = 9.375

The height of the hall, h = 9.375 m.
