The weights of soy patties sold by a diner are normally distributed. A random sample of 25 patties yields a mean weight of 4.2 o

unces with a sample standard deviation of 0.5 ounces. At the 0.05 level of​ significance, perform a hypothesis test to see if the true mean weight is less than 4 ounces. What is the correct calculated value of the test​ statistic?

Answer:

t=\frac{4.2-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{25}}}=2

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df =n-1=25-1=24

And the p value would be given by:

p_v = P(t_{24}>2) =0.0285

And since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly hiher than 4. And the claim for this case is not appropiate      

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

\bar X=4.2 represent the sample mean for the weigths

s=0.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=25 sample size      

\mu_o =4 represent the value that we want to analyze

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We want to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean weigth is less than 4 or not, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 4      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 4      

The statistic for this case is given by:

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

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{4.2-4}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{25}}}=2  

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df =n-1=25-1=24

And the p value would be given by:

p_v = P(t_{24}>2) =0.0285

And since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly hiher than 4. And the claim for this case is not appropiate

The difference of 7 and the product of 4 and a is 11
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Product of 4 and a number translates to 4x because the word product means multiplication.
We then need to subtract one from that which would be 4x - 1.
The word is translates to "equals" so 4x - 1 = 11 is the translation of the whole problem.

Now solve that equation.
4x - 1 = 11
1st add +1 +1
2nd simplify 4x = 12
3rd divide. 4 4
x = 3

Select from the following choices those graphs that represent only a dilation applied to this polygon with a scale factor great
romanna [79]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Select graphs that are dilated by a scale factor greater than 1

For graph A:

Graph A is smaller than the original graph. This indicates dilation with a scale factor less than 1

For graph B:

Graph B is bigger than the original graph and is dilated over (0,0). This indicates dilation with a scale factor greater than 1

For graph C:

Graph C is bigger than the original graph; however, it is not dilated over (0,0). This indicates dilation with a scale factor greater than 1

For graph D:

Graph D is bigger than the original graph; however, it is not only dilated but also flipped over (i.e. rotated).

<em>Hence, b and c is true</em>

Which of the choices below is not a possible correlation coefficient?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The condition for r is the following:

-1 \leq r \leq 1

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a measure of dispersion and is a value between -1 and 1, and is defined as:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}

The condition for r is the following:

-1 \leq r \leq 1

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r
