Marcario should use  4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.

Explanation

given

cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9

cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25

cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5

total pounds of the mixture to be made=12

let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x

pounds of almond nuts=y

total pounds of nuts=x+y=12

x+y=12(1)\\9x+5.25y=6.5(x+y)\\\\9x+5.25y=6.5*12\\9x+5.25y=78(2)

solving (1) and (2)

x=4

y=8

Answer:

Mean = (2.2 + 2.4 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.6 + 2.7)/6 = 2.48

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n = 6

Summation(x - mean)² = (2.2 - 2.48)^2 + (2.4 - 2.48)^2 + (2.5 - 2.48)^2 + (2.5 - 2.48)^2 + (2.6 - 2.48)^2 + (2.7 - 2.48)^2 = 0.1484

Standard deviation = √(0.1484/6

s = 0.16

Standard error = s/√n = 0.16/√6 = 0.065

Part B

Confidence interval is written as sample mean ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Since sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown, z for 98% confidence level would be the t score from the student t distribution table. Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Therefore, z = 3.365

Margin of error = 3.365 × 0.16/√6 = 0.22

Confidence interval is 2.48 ± 0.22

Part C

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

H0: µ = 2.3

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: µ > 2.3

This is a right tailed test

Since the number of samples is small and no population standard deviation is given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 6

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 2.48

µ = population mean = 2.3

s = samples standard deviation = 0.16

t = (2.48 - 2.3)/(0.16/√6) = 2.76

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.02

Assuming significance level, alpha = 0.05.

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.02, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, the sample data showed significant evidence that the mean absolute refractory period for all mice when subjected to the same treatment increased.
