Appendix A Statistical Tables a. Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland and asked what their hourly wage is. What is the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00? b. Suppose 32 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan. What is the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00? c. Suppose 47 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across the United States.

Answer:

(a) The probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00 is 0.5539.

(b) The probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00 is 0.12924.

(c) The probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80 is 0.04006.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the hourly wage was $30.67 for Switzerland, $20.20 for Japan, and $23.82 for the U.S.

Assume that in all three countries, the standard deviation of hourly labor rates is $4.00.

(a) Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for Switzerland = $30.67

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across Switzerland = 40

Now, the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00 is given by = P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00)

        P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00) = P(\bar X < $31.00) - P(\bar X \leq $30.00)

        P(\bar X < $31) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{31-30.67}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z < 0.52) = 0.69847

        P(\bar X \leq $30) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{30-30.67}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z \leq -1.06) = 1 - P(Z < 1.06)

                                                             = 1 - 0.85543 = 0.14457

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.52 and x = 1.06 in the z table which has an area of 0.69847 and 0.85543 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00) = 0.69847 - 0.14457 = <u>0.5539</u>

<u></u>

(b) Suppose 32 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for Japan = $20.20

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across Japan = 32

Now, the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00 is given by = P(\bar X > $21.00)

        P(\bar X > $21) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{21-20.20}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{32} } } ) = P(Z > 1.13) = 1 - P(Z < 1.13)

                                                          = 1 - 0.87076 = <u>0.12924</u>

<em />

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.13 in the z table which has an area of 0.87076.</em>

<em />

(c) Suppose 47 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across United States.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for United States = $23.82

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across United States = 47

Now, the probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80 is given by = P(\bar X < $22.80)

  P(\bar X < $22.80) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{22.80-23.82}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{47} } } ) = P(Z < -1.75) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.75)

                                                               = 1 - 0.95994 = <u>0.04006</u>

<em />

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.75 in the z table which has an area of 0.95994.</em>

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: x=sqrt10-2, x=-sqrt10-2

Step-by-step explanation: square root both sides of the equation.

x+2=sqrt10,-sqrt10

subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

x=sqrt10-2, -sqrt10-2

I don't know if this is right or not but I think the coordinates at the angle on the circular protractor so for a) if you (114-62) you should get the answer, for b)if you (62+40) you should get the answer, for c) if you [114-(62+40)] you should get the answer.

Media experts claim that daily print newspapers are declining because of Internet access. Listed​ below, from left to right and
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

(a) The median is 1478

(b) Null hypothesis H₀ : μ₁ = μ₂

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ : μ₁ > μ₂

(c) The test statistic  t_{\alpha/2} is 6.678155

(d) The p value is  1.2×10⁻¹¹

(e) We reject our null hypothesis H₀. In terms of the test, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a trend in the numbers of daily newspaper because the probability for a decrease in the numbers is very high

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Here we have the data as follows;

1623 1586 1574 1554 1544 1531 1519 1513 1491 1484 1478 1471 1458 1456 1458 1453 1438 1428 1405 1395 1377

The median is = 1478

Therefore we have above the median  

1623 1586 1574 1554 1544 1531 1519 1513 1491 1484

The mean,  \bar{x}_{1}= 1541.9

Standard deviation, σ₁ = 41.38224257

n₁ = 10

Below the median  

1471 1458 1456 1458 1453 1438 1428 1405 1395 1377

The mean,  \bar{x}_{2}}= 1433.9

Standard deviation, σ₂ = 30.04812806

n₂ = 10

(b) Null hypothesis H₀ : μ₁ = μ₂

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ : μ₁ > μ₂

(c) The formula for t test is given by;

t_{\alpha/2} =\frac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\frac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}

df = 10 - 1 = 9, α = 0.05

Therefore, the test statistic  t_{\alpha/2} = 6.678155

(d) The p value from statistical relations is Probability p = 1.2×10⁻¹¹

Critical z at 5% confidence level = 1.645

Since P << 0.05, e reject the

(e) Therefore, we reject our null hypothesis H₀. In terms of the test, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a trend in the numbers of daily newspaper because the probability for a decrease in the numbers is very high.
