Answer:

The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

A random sample of 25 Americans was found to consume an average of 19 ounces of ice cream last month. The standard deviation for this sample was 5 ounces.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = average ounces of ice cream consumed by American per month</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 17 ounces     {means that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 17 ounces    {means that the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

                                 T.S.  = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average = 19 ounces

             s = sample standard deviation = 5 ounces

             n = sample of Americans = 25

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{19-17}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{25} } }  ~ t_2_4

                               =  2

The value of the test statistics is 2.

<em>Now at 0.025 significance level, the </em><u><em>t table gives critical value of 2.06 at 24 degree of freedom for right-tailed test</em></u><em>. Since our test statistics is less than the critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to </em><u><em>which we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

- 13.8 =  \frac{u}{5}  - 1.3

- 13.8 + 1.3 =  \frac{u}{5}

- 12.5 =  \frac{u}{5}

- 12.5 \times 5 = u

If the ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 2:5, then the number of cats is _____ times the number of dogs.
saul85 [17]
So 2:5 means that 5/7 animals are cats and 2/7 are dogs. I believe if you divide u will get your answer. 5/7 * 7/2 = 1.25x the number of dogs

Please help, I’m very confused

Answer:

1st picture: (0,4)

The lines intersect at point (0,4).

2nd picture: Graph D

2x ≥ y - 1

2x - 5y ≤ 10

Set these inequalities up in standard form.

y ≤ 2x + 1

-5y ≤ 10 - 2x → y ≥ -2 + 2/5x → y ≥ 2/5x - 2

When you divide by a negative number, you switch the inequality sign.

Now you have:

y ≤ 2x + 1

y ≥ 2/5x - 2

Looking at the graphs, you first want to find the lines that intersect the y-axis at (0, 1) and (0, -2).

In this case, it is all of them.

Next, you would look at the shaded regions.

The first inequality says the values are less than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region below a line. The second inequality says the values are greater than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region above a line.

That would mean Graph B or D.

Then you look at the specific lines. You can see that the lower line is y ≥ 2/5x - 2. You need a shaded region above this line. You can see the above line is y ≤ 2x + 1. You need a shaded region below this line. That is Graph D.
