A lumber company is making doors that are 2058.02058.0 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if

the doors are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 1515 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2044.02044.0 millimeters with a standard deviation of 17.017.0. A level of significance of 0.050.05 will be used to determine if the doors are either too long or too short. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

t=\frac{2044-2058}{\frac{17}{\sqrt{15}}}=-3.190    

df=n-1=15-1=14  

p_v =P(t_{(14)}    

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean is significantly lower than 2058 mm at 5% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

\bar X=2044 represent the sample mean    

s=17 represent the sample standard deviation    

n=15 sample size    

\mu_o =2058 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)    

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is lower than 2058 mm, the system of hypothesis are :    

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 2058    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 2058    

Since we don't know the population deviation, is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic    

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

t=\frac{2044-2058}{\frac{17}{\sqrt{15}}}=-3.190    

P-value    

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:  

df=n-1=15-1=14  

Since is a one-sided lower test the p value would be:    

p_v =P(t_{(14)}    

Conclusion    

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the mean is significantly lower than 2058 mm at 5% of signficance.

The 4th term of an arithmetic sequence is 12 and the 8th term is 36. Find the 17th term of the sequence.
Blizzard [7]

Answer: 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the nth term of a sequence is given as :

t_{n} = a + ( n - d )

Where a is the first term

d is the common difference and

n is the number of terms

This means that the 4th term of an arithmetic sequence will have the formula :

t_{4} = a + 3d

And the 4th term has been given to be , 12 ,substituting into the formula we have

12 = a + 3d .............................. equation 1

Also substituting for the 8th term , we have

36 = a + 7d .............................. equation 2

Combining the two equations , we have

a + 3d = 12  ................... equation 1

a + 7d = 36 ------------ equation 2

Solving the system of linear equation by substitution method , make a the subject of formula from equation 1 , that is

a = 12 - 3d ................... equation 3

substitute a = 12 - 3d into equation  2 , equation 2 then becomes

12 - 3d + 7d = 36

12 + 4d = 36

subtract 12 from both sides

4d = 36 - 12

4d = 24

divide through by 4

d = 6

substitute d = 6 into equation 3 to find the value of a, we have

a = 12 - 3d

a = 12 - 3 ( 6)

a = 12 - 18

a = -6

Therefore , the 17th term of the sequence will be :

t_{17} = a + 16d

t_{17} = -6 + 16 (6)

t_{17} = -6 + 96

t_{17} = 90

Therefore : the 17th term of the sequence is 90
