Answer:

The value of t test statistics is 5.9028.

We conclude that the true mean is greater than 10 at the .01 level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a firm issued a guideline that transmissions of 10 pages or more should be sent by 2-day mail instead.

The firm examined 35 randomly chosen fax transmissions during the next year, yielding a sample mean of 14.44 with a standard deviation of 4.45 pages.

<em />

<em>Let </em>\mu<em> = true mean transmission of pages.</em>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 10 pages     {means that the true mean is smaller than or equal to 10}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 10 pages     {means that the true mean is greater than 10}

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

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

where, \bar X = sample mean = 14.44 pages

            s = sample standard deviation = 4.45 pages

            n = sample of fax transmissions = 35

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{14.44-10}{\frac{4.45}{\sqrt{35} } }  ~ t_3_4  

                               =  5.9028

(a) The value of t test statistics is 5.9028.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the z table gives critical values of 2.441 at 34 degree of freedom for right-tailed test.

<em>Since our test statistics is more than the critical values of z as 5.9028 > 2.441, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we reject our null hypothesis.</u></em>

Therefore, we conclude that the true mean is greater than 10.

(b) Now, P-value of the test statistics is given by the following formula;

               P-value = P( t_3_4 > 5.9028) = Less than 0.05%    {using t table)

1. slope of the given line = 1/5
    the equation is 
    (y-2)/(x-(-2))=1/5
    x+2=5y-10
    x-5y+12=0

2. slope of the given line = -1/6
    the equation is
    (y-9)/x=6
    y-9=6x
    y=6x+9

The lines on the graph below represent the cost of apples at four different stores.

At Store A is the cost of apples the least. This is because it always has the lowest price for each pound compared to the other lines. Hope this helps!

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2.7 * 10 ^-5 / 9 * 10 ^-6

First divide the numbers

2.7 / 9 = .3

Then divide the exponents

10^-5 / 10 ^ -6

When we divide exponents we subtract

10^(-5 - -6) = 10 ^1

.3 * 10 ^1

But scientific notation has a number between 1 and less than 10

Move the decimal 1 place to the left, so we subtract 1 from the exponent

3 * 10 ^ (1-1)

3 * 10 ^0
