23. A certain type of gasoline is supposed to have a mean octane rating of at least 90. Suppose measurements are taken on of 5 r

andomly selected samples, giving ratings of 89.7 89.4 87.4 89.8 88.5 Assume that the distribution of ratings is in fact known to be normal, and that the true standard deviation /sigma is known to be 0.8
a) For the alternative hypothesis that the mean octane rating is less than 90 , compute the p-value.
b) For significance level 0.01, what do we conclude? If we made an error, is it type I or II?
c) For a significance level 0.01 test and for a sampling of size 5, what is the probability of failing to conclude that the mean is less than 90, when in fact the true mean is 89?
d) If we are allowed to increase the sample size, what minimum size do we need so that the probability calculated in part c is 0.02 or less?

Answer:

a) p_v =P(Z          

b) Since p_v we can reject the null hypothesis at the significance level given. So based on this we can commit type of Error I.

Because Type I error " is the rejection of a true null hypothesis".

c) P(\bar X >90)=1-P(Z

1-P(Z

d) For this case we need a z score that accumulates 0.02 of the area on the right tail and 0.98 on the left tail and this value is z=2.054

And we can use this formula:

2.054=\frac{90-89}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we solve for n we got:

n = (\frac{2.054 *0.8}{1})^2=2.7 \approx 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  and data given  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation with the following formulas:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

s=\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}

\bar X=88.96 represent the sample mean    

s=1.011 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=5 represent the sample selected  

\alpha significance level    

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is less than 90, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 90    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 90    

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)    

z-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:    

z=\frac{88.96-90}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{5}}}=-2.907      

Part a

P-value  

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

df=n-1=5-1 = 4

Then since is a left tailed test the p value would be:    

p_v =P(Z    

Part b

Since p_v we can reject the null hypothesis at the significance level given. So based on this we can commit type of Error I.

Because Type I error " is the rejection of a true null hypothesis".

Part c

We want this probability:

P(\bar X

The best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(\bar X >90)=1-P(Z

1-P(Z

Part d

For this case we need a z score that accumulates 0.02 of the area on the right tail and 0.98 on the left tail and this value is z=2.054

And we can use this formula:

2.054=\frac{90-89}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we solve for n we got:

n = (\frac{2.054 *0.8}{1})^2=2.7 \approx 3

A biker rode 45 miles in 180 minutes. At what speed (in miles per hour) was the biker travelling? A. 4 B. 17 C. 9 D. 12
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

v = 15 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance covered by biker = s=45 miles

time taken by him = t=180 minutes

TO Find:

speed in miles per hour = v = ?

Solution:

As it is given that the distance covered is 45 miles

and time taken by him is 180 minutes

as one hour have 60 minutes

so time taken by rider = t = 180 /60

                                          = 3 hours

this step is done because we have to find speed in miles per hour

Now

The formula for finding the distance is

distance = speed * time

or

s = v * t

we have to find v

so dividing both sides by t

\frac{s}{t} = \frac{v*t}{t}

it becomes

v = \frac{s}{t}

Putting the values

v = \frac{45}{3}

solving it gives

v = 15 miles / hour

which is the required speed

in the given options it is not available

If the Volume of a Cylinder is 287 and the radius is 5, what is the height "h"?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

3.7 is the height

Step-by-step explanation:

so the volume is 287 radius is 5 . The formula Volume = base area x height which we come to equate 287 =3.142x5x5 to get 287 divides by 78.55 answers round off to the nearest tenths 3.653 round off 3.7

How would I do this?
Lelu [443]
I'm not sure about part B, but part A will have the answer "if Ron eats lunch today, then he will drink a glass of milk" (without quotes of course)

The idea is that we have these arguments in symbolic form
P = Ron eats lunch today
Q = Ron eats a sandwich
R = Ron will drink a glass of milk

The format is 
"If P then Q" ----> "if Q then R"  so therefore "If P then R"

We see that P leads to Q, then Q leads to R. So overall P leads to R. We connect them as a chain of sorts. We can skip over Q since we know the first point will lead to the last. Think of it as a shortcut of sorts.

Knight and Haslam (2010) found that office workers who had some input into the design of their office space were more productive
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1. Option A

2. Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The independent variable is the one which affects the other variable. Here two variables "design of office space" and "control by managers" control the  Productivity and well-being of the workers.

Hence, the independent variable is Control of the office manager

Option A

2. The dependent variable is the one which gets affected by the independent variable and in this case it is the Productivity and well-being of the workers.

Option A
